The markets are bloody as could be. @dan and @ned are at war. Memes are spreading like wildfire. Everyone is starting to shitpost. I'm getting 10 pages of awesome comments on unlikely posts!
Some (more) of us are considering opening accounts for shitposting...I think I'm going to hold off for the time being. I just want to make it abundantly clear where my allegiances are, what my focus is and what my intentions are.
I want money. Yes.
I want to share my art and my ideas.
But I will always align myself with community. I am signed up at steemit for the $$$ and opportunity, but I don't spend all that time and effort here for the $$$. I don't even spend it here because I believe in blockchain technology or @dan or @ned.
I spend hours here because I want to build a community of real, down to earth people who want to connect, help each other and help others and help themselves in fun and interesting ways, that want to create networks of trust and understanding, not only for personal benefit, but JUST BECAUSE.
So far, it's been relatively easy here. But I will put my time and effort where the opportunity to build community is. Whether it's at steemit, or EOS, or facebook (hopefully not), or discord, or minds or the side of the road or wherever else.
We can do what we do for $$ but let's hold on to the communities that we are forming and help each other, at all costs.
Raise your hand if you are with me.
(this was my attempt at a shitpost...I think I failed miserably)
Edit: who tf clicked 100% sp payout! I want the monies! Oops!
The alter ego account...not a bad idea. One for informational matters and serious topics, and another to kill some time and have a laugh.

This was a 2 cent shitpost, now it's 4, see how I did that? It's easy to make a few pennies on here each day, you can live right along the poverty line in Bangladesh for a mere 350 dollar 'investment'.

did you know that Canada has deemed the penny too insignificant to use anymore?? consequently the banks claimed something like 14 million in pennies in 2017, after telling people they are useless. they have big barrels in the banks to throw your pennies in! and the band plays on.......

I recently heard Canada did that, give me a barrel of fucking pennies! $3000 in US copper pennies is a ton of copper. Of course that is great news for me, melt 'em down boyos! That will make mine more rare.

Ha, ha, ha! You're rubbish at shitposts. #😁
I've noticed a massive increase of memes in my feed too. Yawn!
What's the goss with @ned and @dan then? I must have missed that.
How do these accounts for shit posting work then? Don't you have to have some power in the first place to be able to take advantage? Why aren't they reported to steemcleaners?

Pretty shitty shitposts.
Check out dan’s Posts, Ned claims he is pumping eos and left Steem just out of spite I think. And now everyone’s angry at Ned for getting a $2000 upvoted comment.
Shitposting as in memes, there’s no rules against memes, some people hate them, some like to shitpost them.

$2000 upvoted comment! Bloody hell. The inbalances here are insane. I musn't dwell. It will make me miserable. I'm beginning to lose motivation as it is. Spending too much time here. I'm beginning to mindlessly trawl through posts like I did on FB. Not good!
And, I really hate those memes. Have stopped following a few people who've started doing them.
Going to meet some real live Steemians tomorrow so, hopefully, that will pick me up a bit.

Are you referring to opening an account for "shit" posts? Like memes and nonsense? Never thought about opening up another account. Why not just use the same one? Do people have multiple accounts? One "serious" and another for "shits"?

Indeed many people have two accounts, one of which is for the shits and the giggles whereas the other one is for serious longform content.
This way one does not lose followers of their serious content as a result of one too many shitty shitposts.

Agreed. Do people open additional accounts for shitposting so they don't mess with the feed of their "good" account? So if their shitposts get flagged, it won't affect their other account? Is it to facilitate self-voting? All of the above?

It’s become more common since dmania became popular. There are all kinds of alt-accounts, some because the content and following is too different, some for self voting, some for initiatives. I’ve thought of opening one for Deadpost Initiative but I’m worried about having too many passwords to mix up...

These last few days have been really crappy for crypto, but i don’t think we should be worried at all.
Steem is growing and will soon find new ATH. I firmly believe this is just a down preparing us for the next stronger UP.
Good time to invest some fiat for those that can.

I’m not worried. I’m just playing. I wish I had more fiat to invest. I just transferred $50 in earnings from my Patreon to PayPal to try to buy 1 neo. Got another $200 stuck in a bank account that I can’t withdraw. Oh well.
