You will never make money preventing others from making money!

Here...take my three cents! I like to make-a tha monay!!

Use BidBots and let us destroy the idiots who downvote paid votes or we will have to go blackmarket and let these fuckers look in the dark.

+1

I'm pretty okay with the new changes. I used to NEVER get curated lol now I'm getting a few peeps checking out my stuff more often which is nice. I can't speak for everyone's experience but thats been mine so far

4 days ago I was buying votes at booster. The quality of my post was good. Yet my post has been downvote.

Initially when i was new i use to buy it but last few months i had bought zero upvotes but as i visited the Steem Bot Tracker there i found so many profitable bots and even i used @booster the quality of my post was also good as well as i had used a very small amount of upvote and when the next day i woke up it got downvoted.

I have simply one point rather downvoting someone people should focus on promoting small creators but what they will do is downvote a post with just few dollars of earnings but at the same time they will upvote there friends with over 100$ of upvote does it not an abuse as to earn some huge amount you must have friends and if not then just wait so that someday by mistake someone will come and upvote your post.

I am fine with both buying as well as not buying but not in favor of downvotes.

It feels great when at least someone is raising the question of many even i have written a post regarding it.

Thanks for listening.

I didn't rejoice about EIP, I was one of the very few who opposed it.

whether with the number of retreats Because downvoting will affect the price of steams to rise?
I feel the price of steem is still the same.

If there's an actual quality behind payed article i personally don't mind it, otherwise i consider it to be a spam.

The trending has been amazingly better since these changes. And people still use upvote bots to advertise stuff it just comes with people not getting any ROI because of some downvotes... BUT they still achieved their goal of getting a post into "trending" so their marketing dollars seem to still be working.

So i hope @booster and a couple others stick around I see no issue with a few sticking around. If i had something I wanted to advertise I'd use booster and others AND i'd say at the end of the post that I don't mind and even expect it will get some downvotes because that's the nature of steem. I expect to not get a free money because of advertising I expect that exposure actually costs something.

And finally promotion should be more in the hands of the UI anyway. Let's hope interfaces make some changes to help give users an option to advertise things they find important.

And authors and curators.
👍

There needs to be big changes ASAP, the site traffic is getting worse by the day. We are sub 10k on Alexa now.

You are right my friend,we all will stand together and we will wipe those downvoters together.

I am always with you bidbots, specially booster, you can see i still buying Daily upvotes many times from @booster. Love you @booster.
Keep fighting and never loose hope. People will come and join you soon and you will be voice of us

This is the topic I was looking for... We are tiny steemians. We do engage with steem, make posts, but this downvote is really annoying. I make post regularly, I have some viewers, getting upvotes from them. Also trying to be noticed by buying some upvotes from @booster. And then these guys try to show their power and keep downvoting till zero. And I lost all my viewers tips. Still fighting with hope.

And, of course, can't really enjoy my DRAMA without some !popcorn

Bid bots and bid bot buyers killed STEEM's market value, because major players on both sides were dumping their profits from manipulating the zero-sum reward pool game for Bitcoin. Damn right it was harming everyone else, and downvotes used to remove the incentive for such behavior are good for the STEEM economy as a whole.

and you don't understand how the steem reward pool works. When you boost your post up, you rob from everyone else. It's a finite supply of inflation. Your justification of your greed isn't fooling anyone anymore.

You all rejoiced when 50/50 + Downvote pool was enabled..

That is in fact NOT true. Some were happy, some were skeptical and some were against it. For most part people wanted to see what will happen and if the effects would be positive.
Even you yourself were for #newsteem until you realized you would have to curate instead of just sit back and collect bot payments, which you are obviously not happy with.

but now you are all crying because as I told you before..

Nope, this again is in fact not true. I see very few people crying. Those that are crying are some bot owners, and i emphasize the "some" since many have pretty much adjusted to the new system. Its just you that has a hard time accepting that the old ways are done for.
Ofc there are also the garbage posters the likes of which you can find in this comment section that are unhappy that they can no longer buy votes for their posts.

The opposite is actually true. Even though the trending page is far from perfect and the votes are skewed towards influential individuals and the trending page lacks diversity, this is still better then what we had.

you cannot make money by preventing others from making money.

Who is preventing you from making money? Go curate, you can make as much curating (or more even) now as you could have selling votes in the old system.
Its just that youre mad that the stake holders no longer want to have a trending page where you can promote your posts basically for free thus destroying the value of a trending spot, they dont want people breaking proof of brain and buying themselves a trophy, they dont want STEEM to be seen as a garbage blockchain where everything said about it is fake and a lie...

destroy the motivation of developers and business entrepreneurs.

Browsing social media i can confirm that alongside the high inflation, bots and vote selling is the prime reason people gave as to why they stay away from investing in STEEM. So yeah, id say the opposite is true, this in fact might have positive effect on developers and investors.

I suggest you stop crying and start curating, or get someone to curate for you. Bidbots will not make a comeback, you dont have the SP to take down smooth, dan, traf, acid, blocktrades, etc...

Adjust and make the $$$

Now this is what I call steem! I've never used booster or any other service but if it's going to piss people off, get me flagged, and tempt keyboard warriors to type shit they'd never dream of saying to my face so that I might happen to see them in BKK and settle shit with a dust up I'm all in.. What do I do exactly delegate to booster and make a post? I sincerely don't know how it works but I'm done playing nice here and just wanna fuck shit up..

Edited I figured out, unfortunately I didnt have much steem..

I still love @booster all the time even i recieved lot of downvotes on my posts

So true my friend!!

!giphy cry+babies

We kindly ask you to remove your downvotes. You're free to do whatever you like, but attacking people for moving on into #NewSteem is not the right move. We're all in the same ship and we want the STEEM price to rise again. Buying votes is not the answer, the past 2 years should be enough of an experience. If you'd like to talk, so we can understand each other's viewpoints better, you can find us on discord: https://discord.gg/7sDBuqf

Well, the way the reward pool works you are literally making money by preventing others from making money

Posted using Partiko Android

C'mon styk, we did it your way up to now, look where it's gotten us.
You gonna do to us what got done to golos?

You put out 'good' content, why do you have to bully the rest of us with your stake?

Don't kill Batman!

You sure you want to be supporting this guy?

If i had your stake I would pull the numbers on the biggest sellers and they would never get another dime from the common reward pool.

We are trying to attract more holders, not give the current ones a living wage.

In capitalism, you either adapt or perish.

You can't even get facts straight. You totally make money by downvoting, the overall reward pool is not influenced by votes. You dont remove stuff from the reward pool when you downvote.

With your years of experience around here, not knowing this just proves how much of a retard you are (using the word you used against others in this thread)

I've been away from Steemit for a while now, but I agree, downvote is stupid. If you don't like a post, just move on to something you like, no need to downvote something you are not interested in. This just leads to more bullying on the platform. It even looks like it was just created as a weapon for someone to use their massive SP against other person they don't like. Although I can see how it can be used against people that bought their way to the trending page.
Steem has the best platform to get people to use this coin, not to mention most coins don't even have a platform to work with, just dreams in the air and talks about "mass adoption".
Instead of working on useless features like the downvote, that just cause war among the community, people should be working on taking projects like Steepshot, Esteem, Musing, Dtube, Dsound etc, one step further. Promotion of these is key in getting people to adopt Steem. The concept of this site blows their "notblockchain" counterparts completly out of the water, yet few people using them. Once Facebook/instagram, Google, Amazon create their own blockchains, it gets much harder to get people to start using Steemit and its "sons" . Making registration simpler and easier would also be a major thing.
Seriously which other blockhain out there has a platform like this one?Or the others I mentioned?? This is a treasure and its slowly being buried. My two rusty satoshis on this matter.

Because we love people boosting comments, right?

That's just many examples of your newfound QC.

Once all this was already happening in the GOLOS.IO
I remember how it ended...

You apparently are unaware that government is the largest industry in the world, as well as being a liar.

Prey elsewhere. Plenty of soft, white economic underbellies remain for your delectation. Steem has evolved to defend itself against you.

Thanks!

Sincerely, let them know. People trying to feed off from others with careless downvotes.
Majority of them, pay for steem Sp delegate with little fiat and be harassing authors carelessly.

@fyrstikken Heya the title line is correct but I want to include that instead of looking at others wallet we need to keep a check on our wallets first!!!! Every individual needs to grow themselves as a person which will grow the society and jealous factor will also shoot down!!!

this is exactly what is happening on steemit since HF now few people will decide how much other are worth impressive

I'm going to agree with Fyrst. Flagging/Downvoting people because, You, arbitrarily "feel like" they do not deserve what they make is wrong. That's abusing the flag/downvote system.

Flagging/Downvoting should be reserved for instances where someone is flagrantly doing something that is against the Terms & Conditions of this site.

It's always been my opinion that Downvoting and Flagging need to be decoupled from each other. Downvoting should only affect the visibility of a post. Flagging should only affect potential earnings.

Also @steemitqa had a great idea. Completely remove post earnings from public view.

I am going to inform many of you about a POSITIVE aspect of purchasing a vote from a bid bot.

If you place a link in your post, it is registered as nofollow.

Once the post gets to a value of $10, the link turns to dofollow.

Steemit.com now has high domain authority, so a dofollow backlink from your post to your website is very valuable for SEO.

I will purchase bots for this purpose to boost my backlink SEO strategy for my website, maximumoffgrid.com.

Sure, people will down vote me, but to me, it's worth the risk to increase my website rankings.

You're welcome!

I don't downvote to make money. Not that my few cents make a big difference. There are so many people just milking Steem that I feel I have to act. The profitability of your business is irrelevant to me. You can adapt to the new Steem model and still earn. Meanwhile haejin is downvoting me out of pure meanness. He won't scare me away.

Congratulations @fyrstikken!
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following categories:

I think you should consider converting some of Booster's Steem to another token like Leo or Pal or Neoxian or any other token. lol
I miss using Booster but it's pretty illegal for me to use it. :( Steemit has always been about reward pool protection at the expense of users which I think is a good part of the reason Steemit is missing about a million or more accounts.
