FullTimeGeek Talks About his Full-time Bots

meno (73) · 7 years ago

I'm terrible at selling myself, I hate it, but maybe that's an issue I need to get over and maybe for this one particular time I will suspend such idiotic tendencies.

I'm not attempting to get fulltimebot support for me however, maybe more for the initiative we started @helpie - Which is a tool designed to educate minnows and plankton - a way to teach them to think long term, to understand the potential of steem and the power of community.

It's designed for that purpose and it's grown into a curation initiative, and a mentorship program.

Honestly, I would not mind explaining everything to you on chat.

Thank you for the comment @meno ... I will surely check out your work and the @helpie project you mentioned.

For what it's worth, I appreciate mr @meno and his community orientated approach. @steemcommunity supports @helpie where possible :)

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

I recently entered the @helpie community on @meno's invite and am super impressed with what he has built there! One of the most active Discord chatrooms I've ever seen, with a lot if community leaders present to help, support and grow the 'little Steemians'. I'd certainly love to see some of your botty awesomeness go to the @helpie project.

Hey man, I appreciate that. Thanks for explaining. Your logic is sound. It does feel like a win and your reasons for curating in this fashion make sense. It is nice to see votes trickle in but any form of curation means a lot, no matter when it happens.

Someone saw those votes and asked in private where they have to go to pay for that bot LOL! I couldn't even explain why it was happening... "They just show up. I don't know what's going on!" They didn't believe me, so at least now we got answers. Thanks!

Lol, God forbid I ever start doing that. I consider vote selling a mild form of prostitution and abhor the idea. I personally must like the content to give it my vote(s).

btw friend, if may I direct your attention to this idea - I happen to like it a lot, and Im poking holes on it, but it's mostly good.

Meaning that we could count on predictable behaviors to make this work, being greedy one of them.

I won't attempt to explain it here in a comment, but like you, I'm trying to do my best to rid the platform of the skewed concept of "quality".

Your votes are making a hell of a difference with @steemflagrewards what translates into more flags against abuse.

I think it is great because when people see less abuse getting rewards, they will take Steem more seriously as a blogging platform instead of a haven for scammers. That's just one example of one area you are making a difference.

Of course, I appreciate making the list as well and will continue to strive to do what I can to improve the ecosystem that we all benefit from.

I think we have a similar ethos. We want to support those that help build Steem as we have more than enough those that rather take as much as possible from, use, and abuse.

I think we have seen enough of that and it's people like you that will help usher in a new culture on the platform.

Kudos!

Hey @fulltimegeek

I was about to upload my latest video when the title of this video caught my attention (It should be up in an hour or two... things take a little longer from this side of the world). I'm a bit of a hobbyist developer myself, and have written a small scale automation game for Steem already (and plan on a few more at a later stage)... the reason for the games was to learn NodeJS/SteemJS... but I digress.

I watched your video hoping to learn more about bots on Steem, but instead would like to throw my name into the hat for your list(s)' consideration.

Why should I get onto the list?

Well... first and foremost, all my video content is original and (in my opinion) pretty good too.

When I started on Steemit a few months ago, I was uploading to YouTube first and then onto DTube... Nowadays, but videos live on DTube for a week or 3 before making it onto YouTube and Facebook... The reason for that is that I already have a bit of an audience on those channels, and I would like to encourage that audience to join me here... eventually making DTube exclusive videos. In the next few weeks I'll be kicking off a DLive-exclusive series as well.

So... am I any good for Steem?
I would like to think so ;-) I'm involved with a small community of YouTubers here in South Africa, all of whom are tired of hearing me go on about Steem/Steemit. I've convinced a few to try it out, but like with many new Steemians, they quickly became disillusioned. What better way to show them that DTube CAN work for them than with a few extra votes on my own videos, rather than just showing them votes on other people's videos?

Anyway... thanks for the hearing me out... I hope my content makes the grade. Hit me up on discord or on the comments of any of my videos if you have any questions.

Cheers, and thanks,
BraaiBoy

Hi @fulltimegeek. I have seen your bot supporting many great Steemians on here and I applaud your efforts with supporting community-oriented individuals. When I first started out on Steemit, abh12345 and coolguy123 were the first #stewardsofgondor members to show support to our small community that helped newbies, and since then, I have the utmost respect for Asher and Raghavendra and your awesome guild members. I am happy to hear of a truce with the flagging wars.

Requirement # 3 - DTube and DLive

With regards to the content you choose to support here on the platform, does one now have to be a video producer to succeed? I find that many individuals that started the same time I did find it ever more difficult to grow on this platform by "writing" or simply because they are not growing in the "IT" community.

It seems more and more it is the dapps that are showing support to users of the platform. Why is it that one must give up on privacy/anonymity to succeed on here? Because realistically, the support are with dapps such as DTube/DLive (and now with your bots).

I don't blog nearly enough or have anything really interesting to say most days to ask to be on the "Blessed List" 😂.

Absolutely not, but a lot of my SP will be directed to dtube/dlive. This does not mean excellent writers won't receive support from me. Like I mentioned in the video, I do have people on my list that are not filtered by such tags. It's just that, engagement-wise, people do spend more time watching videos and replying to them than they do reading articles (on average). Of course, everybody is different. I'm just trying to get as many people engaging on the blockchain as possible.

Thank you @beeyou for taking the time to comment :)

I do notice the same. Being a non-blogger to begin with, I feel I am the chicken who refuses to cross the road to get to the golden eggs. :)

I'm just trying to get as many people engaging on the blockchain as possible.

You do support many of my favorite Steemians on here and I'm glad you do because someone has to! I don't know how steemit life would be without Asher's curation leagues/tables or Dave's Steemit tips, or sweet Lynn's stories of endurance and hope.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment :)

I think the idea of being "chicken" is a big part of the video avoidance for myself as well. I need to get a little more comfortable in my own skin before I commit myself to video.

Confession time... I got votes from some of the fulltimebots and didn't even make the connection to @fulltimegeek until I saw this video. It's horrible to admit! I looked at @fulltimebot and scratched my head a bit since none of the bots blog or comment. Of course in hindsight it all seems obvious!!

Hey @fulltimegeek
Being a while now since DM's research and I must say I'm privilege seeing your face for the first time ever. You rock man!

Fast forward...

First, I must commend you for such a great initiative. Also, you must really be doing a great & herculean task manually curating contents and thus need for bots.
I once had a privilege of benefitting from your benevolent heart of curation during DM research and I say thank you. But I want to solicit for your support, if your bots can be on my trail. I manually curate some original contents. And it is so devastating that it won't even leave an impression at all. People need an encouragement to get on. I know you're a good person with a great heart. This is my plea & accept me and let me find favour in your sight. Thank you.

I've done a couple videos before for my audience in an attempt to explain the basics and I want to continue doing those; I think having a guest on such as yourself who is familiar with the platform and sees the benefit in it would be a great addition to the show.

Great to see you being able to utilize your SP for upvotes again! Love it! Much good can be done with every little bit... like you said, people love to see the votes trickle in.

I really wish Steemit Inc would get their act together on ways to find quality content to curate so that efforts like this would not be required. But until then, you do what you gotta do right?

If I was to have one criticism, it would be an echo of what BeeYou said regarding the DLIVE/DTUBE requirement. I can appreciate trying to get people to stop utilizing Youtube, and coming to utilize the blockchain alternatives. But like @beeyou said, some of us prefer to write rather than put ourselves on video.

Of course it is your SP, and you support the content/creators/tags that you feel most reflect your own values. I'm totally down with that. I would just hope that in time you might examine the idea of expanding your bots to include some people who may be a bit.... camera shy.

Have a great one Geek! You are always appreciated!!!

beeyou (59) · 7 years ago

Hi @mikepm74, another SOG member. :) I understand FTG's support to the Dtube/DLive community because you said it best, it is his SP and he should be able to use it to "support the content/creators/tags that you feel most reflect your own values".

I feel the disconnect with this platform is that it is increasingly becoming users (big or small) that have to "step up" and be the ones to use their stake to show support to others. Steemit Inc should be using their stake to support user retention, but there is none given (at least not obvious to me). It is the dapps and friendly whales that are using their SP to support others. I would think support would trickle down to users from owner/management, but it seems it is peer-to-peer support on here.

$0.00

mikepm74 (66) · 7 years ago

I think who controls the stake and how they acquired it plays a big roll in the problems with Steem's reward pool. People who see themselves as "investors" separate themselves from the content, and worry only about how to make their stake earn them more money. The obvious answer on that is vote selling, or self voting. So you have these big whales who only care about increasing their own stack, without any concern for what is going on closer to the surface.

The problem is, i is those of us who swim near the surface who really impact the price movement on STEEM as a cryptocurrency. If the entire platform were devoid of good content, and showed no signs of value, then how long would it take for the STEEM token to bleed to zero? Last time I checked, any stake multiplied by zero is still zero. So the Investment Whales need the rest of us... but to this point, few of them have realized that it would pay them in the long term to be quality curators.

Don't get me started on STInc's stake and the use it is or isn't put to.... I could write novels. hahhaa

Have a great one! Keep supporting each other, and the end result will be satisfying!

I’ve been seeing these around on other people’s blogs and been wondering if you were behind them. Quite a smart way to go about it and even better people are earning for their amazing contest they produce.

I’ve been spending some time these days doing my own curation which involves being in a couple of discords, putting out a weekly list for the community I’m in. Commenting and up voting outstanding posts my own self. I more than understand wanting to automate such a thing. It can be rather time consuming from time to time. For now at least I do enjoy seeing an undervalued author get something more then the pocket lint that was left for them.

By the time I'm around on steemit as long as you have perhaps I'll be wanting to find a better way to go about things.

Curation is difficult and the likes of weekends I don't do much online, so no votes happen. I try to vote more on a Friday knowing I have the weekend to recharge. Wish I had coding skills. Cant wait to see what else you are going to put out.

Your videos rock, the audio is fantastic for a mobile phone. I make video a lot a having invested a bit I still struggle to get audio right. Glad to see you are also supporting video content. I recently set up my existing brand here on steemit and hosted a test webinar on dlive a few weeks back. As someone with an existing brand and also an understanding of steemit I know there are many challenges ahead to attract and keep video content creators.

edicted (72) · 7 years ago

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto. Thank you for explaining your bot system. I had no idea why I was getting those votes.

I was put on your list two weeks ago and I went from getting $1-$2 payouts to $10+

It really means a lot to me. I work a low-end part-time job 15-25 hours a week. I put everything else into a blockchain future. $300 a month from Steem would literally double the amount I can invest in the blockchain, so your upvotes are greatly appreciated.

I am also a Java programmer, but I get really frustrated that Steem doesn't officially support Java... perhaps we could collaborate in some way? I had a project that was using @steemj but that wrapper is now dead.

I'm somewhat of a newbie but I have amazing ideas for this blockchain... ones that would be extremely powerful and relatively easy to implement. They are also modular and compliment each other. Most important of all: they would not be greedy.

You say you are only upvoting videos now? I don't make videos so I guess I'll have to hope you put me on that super exclusive list :D

Sometimes I don't know where to spend my upvotes and I just end up topping off my own comments so I don't hit 100%... I guess I'll start by giving the replies here some love.

Keep up the good work. Also, I'd like to reiterate that Java and Android programming are at the top of my list. We should probably talk in discord or something: Edicted#2356

Hi @edicted. I stopped by your blog and your interest seems to be on cryptocurrency, blockchain, and steemit! Very cool. I will have to find some time to learn more about this new world of blockchain.

That is great you are receiving support from FTG's bots, especially since you are investing back into the blockchain. I am learning as best I can, but I seem to find the horrendous moments to invest in crytocurrency, especially with Steem. Most of my investments occurred when Steem was at peak, but I still have faith we will grow! Thank you kindly for your support. :)

mikepm74 (66) · 7 years ago

This is an amazing time to average down your cost. Buy in now to bring the cost average total down.

Of course even what you bought at highs are still paying you back in vote rewards, and a little bit of staking interest. So eventually it all works for you. But if you believe in STEEM and you have some funds on the sidelines you can afford to risk, buying in and staking up is not a terrible idea.

This is (NOT) financial advice. LOL

beeyou (59) · 7 years ago

I appreciate the (NOT) financial advice, hehe. I did take the opportunity to invest in a bit more. Just a little, since coinbase is just a pain in the behind with the account fund availability.

Wow, this is really awesome and it totally explains all the votes I've been getting. First of all, thank you for the support @fulltimegeek, I truly appreciate it and I'm honored to be on your "super-special elite list", which I figured I have to be, as I've been getting upvotes on content without the dlive and dtube tags.

Secondly, which might sound weird to some, is the quantity. I totally prefer several votes instead of a vote from your main account. I don't know, it feels extra special in some sense to get a bunch of votes, randomly, from your bots. A really awesome thing to do and it sounds logical to use bots this way.

Thanks for the explanation!

Btw. Your "Made in the U.S.A" thing, was that Bruce Springsteen - Born In The U.S.A? ;)

I wondered who sent me all those bot votes!

pennsif (80) · 7 years ago

Thank you so much for this explaining vlog. I have been greatly grateful for your visitations to my posts in recent times.

Each little ft-visit has given me a zing of happiness to know that someone (ie you) thinks what I produce offers some value to readers and the steemchain.

And out of each zing has come some zang to enthuse me on to my next posting endeavour.

My underlying quest for all I do here is - Am I putting in more than I take out?

For every post I make I have three measures :

Does the post serve a purpose and provide some value to the reader?
Is the post the best I can make it?
Is it a post I would want to read myself?

Alas I am most adept with the written word, rather than spoken, and my posting time is when the others here are sleeping, so my opportunities to use the chosen DTube and DLive tags will be few and far between.

So I thank you kindly for your votes that have come before, and I send my good wishes to accompany your votes with whomever they visit next.

Good night from Wales. It is time to rest my tiring eyes.

Hey @fulltimegeek, I almost cried when I realized what was happening with me. (Then I did actually cry a bit, because I've been so grateful for this.)

You've inspired me to take new initiatives in my content creation and what I can offer of myself as a value producer in this growing ecosystem, with an emphasis on what is happening with the voices that save...it's a new hash I want to be creating to help share some of this wealth with people who are being extremely bold about what they share with others that may help them thrive through what may be a dark time.

I thought you had an army of Minions working in your basement! I used to curate manually too, but it became time consuming, so I wrote my own bot to curate quality bloggers with strong upvotes. I'll add more as my stake increases.

I'm curious, why so many bots when you can have 1 bot to rule them all?

P.S. I read that xeroc post about signing transactions a while ago, for my learning, it was too much for my brain. Kudos if you reversed it into JAVA!

Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya @fulltimegeek.

I hope I am not too take to the party! I was referred here by a very great friend ( @soyrosa) and I want to basically pledge for myself & her to be on your bot list :D I would say I am a very active Steemia making on average atleast 3 quality posts( in my opinion and many others who are supportive of me), and a little boost from you would definitely add on to my motivation. Seeing we are in #MinnowUprisingJuly with @taskmaster4450, the goal is 120 post this month averaging 30 posts a week, so you can be very sure I will definitely overwork your bots!

Thanks for your consideration.

I certainly don't need the bot support, BUT I'd love to see @elsiekjay supported by your fulltimeBots!

She's an amazingly kind woman from Kenya and I've seen and therefore learned so much about her country through her videos on both DLive and DTube! I believe she adds to both the blockchain and to the world by showing us a country that otherwise doesn't get a lot of attention. Also 'behind the scenes' (Discord) she is supportive and kind and cheerful. I believe she is here for 'the long haul' which is something I'd personally love to see more often.

I know your upvotes would mean the world to her content making efforts, so I thought I'd come here and cheer her on! :D

I love what you are doing, spreading your wealth among the community in this smart and botty way @fulltimegeek! Thanks for that and steem on!

Fulltimegeek is a fulltimegenius!!! I love the bot idea. I especially like their up votes... lol That's ingenious because there's so many post that it's impossible to read them all. My only complaint is the page view counter. Don't do this for money. I get satisfaction from knowing that people are reading my articles... I have no way to gauge my success or failures. I lost my motivation to write. It's almost like being shadowbanned

fingersik (66) · 7 years ago

The funny start caught my attention. I love people with this kind of free positive mood lol what can I say. So I listened because I’m interested in personal bots (I’m starting my own bot this month for the very same reason too hopefully, but I’m an complete amateur when it comes to programming so who knows...) AND i was interested in how you actually look like lol. So both of my needs were satisfied.

Then when I heard that you want to extend the list of people that will have chance for an upvote from you my mind started pondering the idea of how to promote myself efficiently. Then I realized that my last 6 articles would probably do it better than myself bragging about who else than myself. This is how my blog will (hopefully) look like until I will have to start working on Master’s thesis - which is still more than a year from now.

Well then you said you only want to upvote @dlive and @dtube videos...Since I try to keep my feet on the ground (unless I’m high - which I’m not right now) I have to make peace with the fact that making it to you "elite" list is nearly impossible and if I ran from myself and adjusted my content for your bot I would lose. I only plan to stream from time to time and also I wanted to improve in producing brainstorms and speeches about Blockchain and Steem in English for when I mature I would like to attend conferences and similar places where I could promote Blockchain, Steem…you name it.

Anyway this is great initiative. Keep being cool and transparent fellow geek:).

Greetings @fulltimegeek

I'm very happy to see you with a video explaining the Bot network, and just generally happy to see you with content that we can gain insight into the selfless mind of one of the kindest people on the Steem blockchain.

The votes have been appreciated by myself, and i've had others contact me asking where to pass on the thanks - now they have a place to do so :)

In some respects, the inward voting and lack of care for others has grown this year, but the likes of yourself and Johal are hopefully leading these people towards a path which can only make our community stronger.

Much love and appreciation, thank you so much for all you've done for me and 1000's of others. You are one of a kind!

The army of bots thing is cleverly motivational... when you're a newbie here and busting your gut in an attempt to get seen (and you make really good content), having even those small votes trickle in can make a big difference between giving up and wanting to continue.

Capitalism (and technology) is a double-edged sword. It does, however, leave room for charity. You’ve proven this time and time again with your generous upvotes.

Now you’re doing it with this very amaze, much cool bot initiative! You’re leading the way by example in taking voluntaryism by the horns and doing something that many dare not.

Who knows maybe the bid bot operators will join in the fun by taking up the challenge and trying out a little bit of charity every now and then.

Or maybe other wealthy Steemians who are not maximizing their Steem potential could follow your model and contribute to the chaotic good. It is sad to see their SP collect dust if they’re not being active on the platform.

Well done Sir! People should not take what you've done here for granted. Charity ought not to be expected but rather appreciated.

I have been taking an interest in the Fulltimebotxx's for a while now. I noticed they were being created, several a day and 34 was the last one I checked on several weeks ago.

They seemed to have a sole purpose in life at that time to flag a certain someone, which I thought quite ingenious as they don't post themselves. This particular person bothers me, as I want STEEM to succeed and not be abused.

I'm a music artist and producer , I have a super huge following on youtube for years , into the millions view counts and over 20,000 subcribers , and every month I get an average over 1 million views and 2000 subscribers a month. Besides my own Dan Ban music I have remastered over 800 retro classic music videos form the 50's 60's and 70's. These are just not videos I upload , they are all uniquely made with pics efx , videos and stereo redub studio quality music. I do it out of love because I love music. I'm uploading all of my 800 Bubblerock videos now to Dtube everyday , around 4-6 videos a day , I already started on all my Beatles videos. I upvote anyone who upvotes my videos , tit for tat , Ha Ha !!! . Even though there is no view count on Dtube , I noticed already I have 198 subscribers from just a few weeks work. Just like my youtube channel , within in a few months my Dtube channel will skyrocket like crazy , I know from experience with my youtube channel , people love their oldies music and they watch them over and over again , epecailly the way I present the videos in hi quality. Even though Dtube is 480p , all my videos are 720p HD and pretty soon Dtube will upgrade from what i read on their post. Well any way , check out my channel subscribe and watch some of the videos , excellent !! , best Dan

The people who are being upvoted are people that I know produce good content everytime and / or care about the Steem Blockchain just as much as I do or more. If you are one of those individuals and I don't have you on my botlist, you better start commenting below and let me know why you are fulltimebot quality!

Since you are asking for it...
I've never been the guy who sucks up to whales to get noticed but instead always tried to support smaller accounts in the hope they won't give up on Steemit. I have been active for nearly a year, cost average buying my way in up to 5000SP and have never done a single power down. I do believe I have had a positive impact and continued ripple effect on Steemit and the Steem Blockchain for several reasons.

Building the Sports Betting Community on Steemit. When I started out on Steemit I was about the only serious Sports bettor on the platform. To encourage others I started a monthly curation list spreading auto upvotes to Sports Betting related accounts that at least showed some promise. This brought a lot of us together which resulted in the creation of the SBC (Steemit Betting Community) which now has it's own discord channel and an upvote bot account with 2k SP+ that gives out free upvotes to community members.
Hosting a Weekly Contest. I have run a contest giving away guaranteed SBD along with 100% of the Post SBD nearly each week during last seasons Premier League and plan to do the same this season as a way to add to the community.
Promoting Steemit I brough at least a couple guys onto Steemit and now started to promote the platform to the outside betting community. "What Steemit Can Do For Sports Bettors !". I had to wait a long time for this because there needed to be something like the SBC to increase the incentive for people to try it out.
Educating Minnows Struggling to get some real upvotes myself, I started a series to help new members who want to grow to get a good base to start off with. I know this at least helped a couple do better. Latest post Steem Upvotes | Growing Mindset ✅ (summary of post before is incuded)
Starting Support Group Since I mainly have to rely on the upvotes from busy.org and groups like qurator | make-a-whale | steembasicincome who based on current returns are a losing proposition, I though about a way to improve upon their model and came up with Upvote Shares which is a fair statistical model that will spread upvotes around and allow members to also sponsor a minnow. I have also been a strong believer that small consistent upvotes make people come back to the platform and are much far more compared to having to hope for the rare whale upvote. I have been testing things out for a month and giving out a lot of upvotes from the @upvoteshares and @minnwshares accounts this past month and it's nearly ready to go.
Insiring Others I also started a secondary blog focussed on my personal health with a 100 day challenge (@byebyehamburgers) which inspired others to make a similar positive change in their lives and do the same (See post). The Sp I build up on that account fully goes out to support the good accounts in the Steemit health / fitness / vegan / running communities.

I have always enjoyed Steemit a lot, but it is starting to get to a point where the return no longer justifies the massive amounts of time I have been putting into it (somewhat similar to @buggedout who quit steemit after a year (see his post). It's really though as a dolphin when mainly having to rely on the busy or esteem upvotes to get some value while giving a fair amount of my upvotes away without really asking anything in return. (This reply pretty much sums up my general posts which have way too much time put in to them) I'm far from as selfless as this reply may indicate and I do need to sell some votes to see my daily post earnings get to a point where they are around a 10x self upvote value, but it would be highly appreciated and make a difference if I could somehow make it on the list.

Thanks for being one of the good guys on steemit @fulltimegeek !

Great video and thank you for all you do @fulltimegeek. You were one of the first that I saw, on here, who tried to do something to move STEEM forward by helping the masses out. Instead, of giving to one or two apps, you went wide (which ended up going deep).

Also, I am very glad you are past the War of 2018. That really saddened me to see. A lot of votes expended on downvoting instead of promoting the works of others. It is good a truce was reached. The trouble with wars is that even the winner is bloodied.

I wish I had the know how to program like others on this blockchain. It is awesome that you have bots running all day and automated the process. That is something that we, as a culture, need to focus upon. How about automating things so the less fortunate are able to benefit. Automate income/profits for them.

Sorry a bit off topic but my mind is always going.

What I believe is going on, is that the communists/socialist are causing chaos so that people relinquish a lot of their powers in terms for "peace."

This is ORDER OUT OF CHAOS 101

I will most likely be mentioning your comment in my next @perfectstorm post.

Are you aware, by chance, about the prophecy of Dumitru Duduman? He said that Nicaragua and many other countries will one day invade the USA. I think what is happening down there will lead to such an event ...

The Russian government will have all the information regarding the whereabouts of American missiles. They will have the exact locations of the weapons factories. Even now they are preparing an attack against America. When America believes there is peace and safety, the Russians will lead an all out attack. They already have it planned! They plan to attack from such remote bases as Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico, and the ocean. They have had these plans for a long time, but God has not yet allowed them to be fulfilled. Nevertheless, the day will come when America will be punished for her sins by fire."

As long as you are voting 2% or more, one larger account will similar results with a lot less effort. When you start voting below 2% (really 1.5-18% or so) the precision issues crop up which can cause you to waste voting power.

That should give you a solid 1,000 votes sustainably (your voting power won't drop lower than you can recharge in the day).

If you are doing more than 1,000 votes, yeah the multiple bots are the way to go.

The problem with a 2% vote from a large account is that you're limited to one vote per blog. This prevents new votes to trickle in. I want content creators to keep returning to their blogs to inspect their earnings.

Just got around to finally watching this video. Just wanna say thanks for taking the time to explain the process a bit! I've really appreciated the support I've received from your bots/you over the past few weeks and it has helped motivate me to be more active on Steemit overall, andto try to at least get one post out a day. Though, I wasn't aware of the tag thing. I suppose the fact that I do a lot more video content than written could be why. Maybe when I can I'll have to switch to making my video game reviews into videos. (Though I'd need to upgrade some things because I don't think anyone wants to listen to me talk in a headset mic for 5-10 minutes, lol.)

Also, this is really damn random, but I absolutely love that lamp next to your couch, lol.

Hi FTG, man i am like @meno... not good at selling myself, and as well as him i'm not here for myself but for the proyects i run and keep developping.

Funny fact about myself: they call me the Botman... Lego Batman + Bot maker.

I make usefull bots for curation and try to care about the blockchain and steem value.

But enough of myself.

We run @castellano witness which aims to give a voice to the hispanic users appart from producing blocks to keep steem healthy and alive.

We have @reveur which acts as an incubator to guide and train new comers into good steemian practices. (Cultivating Steemians) with daily activities run by the community, from and for the community.

We also have started @bebeth, a proyect to encourage minnows with small stake to get an interest in curation. Were our curation team receives proposals on comments and those posts deemed whorthy of a vote are voted and the person postulating them gets a share of our posts rewards as curation reward for having propossed it.

I've recently started @delega, what i call a positive circle jerk, a few of us put the stake we cuold afford and with its 6800 SP delega is a bot that curates whitelisted minnows that delegate whatever they can to it.

It is meant as an incentive for hispanic users to increase the stake as the bot works in a way were it calculates the apport of the author to the SP pool and votes him with that porcentage (Multiplied by 20)so they benefit and have a reason to increase their delegation making the pool bigger.
(And here we are speaking of 5 to 50 steem delegations, so it is really meant for minnows / plankton.

We also have @banca bot, which acts as a whitelist filter for the discord linkdrops, and casts a small vote and sends the link to our curation team.

Our proyects are small as we run them with mainly my own stake (around 10k) but behind there a group of hispanic users who beleive we can make great things with the steem blockchain and want to onboard new users and increase the capital curating in spanish.

Sadly we don't have much Dlive dtube material because of south america's internet limitations, but hopefully you will take a looks at our deeds and give us the opportunity to explain you in more detail.

thanks and cheers.

@fulltimegeek, thanks for the efforts to help smaller accounts like mine.

I am doing my bit for the community by producing java programming tutorials.

Most of my videos are on dtube, and my plan is to put all of them on there. I would be grateful to receive support from your bots.

Cheers and long may the blockchain continue

The problem with bots is you have no real supervision of what you are really voting for, for example in my case, you put me on a bot list I don't usually put up that good a content but every once in a while I do come up with something that I think is good, but does this one good post merit my other not to good posts getting high rewards? But as most upvotes on Steemit do come from bots (I mean the higher value votes) if you are not on a bot list even when you do write something that is really good you get nothing. So I think in reality good content has nothing to do with success on Steem it all comes down to being on the big guys bot lists.

That's great! There are a lot of great Steemians out there who make quality content. Oftentimes they don't get a lot of recognition... until now!

As much as I'd like to throw my own name in the hat to be considered, there are a lot of people who do even more for the community. I would like to submit two people for your consideration if they're not on your list already.

The first is @davemccoy. He's a community builder extreme. He was one of the founders of #newbieresteemday and #newbieresteemgames. He has frequently been in the top group of Asher's Engagement League and is not a self-voter. While a newer user he even invented, ran, and funded the #newbienickel which was designed to give rewards to new users who engaged by commenting. I think your votes would be well-placed and effective for growing the community if you put Dave on your list.

The other person I highly recommend is @lynncoyle1. Not only is she part of #newbieresteemday, but she is also part of #steemitbloggers. She volunteers with @helpie. She also volunteers to help judge the Pay it Forward contests. To be honest, I can't even keep up with all the ways she's involved in building community. Much of that time isn't on the blockchain where she can get rewards (i.e. writing posts and comments). All this community-building is on top of taking care of her husband, @briancourteau who is fighting cancer. I don't know if Lynn is on your list, but she's on my list and (I think) she should get a lot more recognition than she gets.

I know you got a lot of requests and suggestions, but these are two really fine Steemians and if you have any openings, I would recommend them both without hesitation. They have my 100% stamp of approval.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Thank you so much @themanwithnoname, for including me with the likes of Dave :) I am so thankful that you would do that; I am also thankful to have been the recipient of @fulltimegeek's bots before! I just figured out recently who it was behind the bots, but thank you for calling me over here, because I had unfortunately missed this post!

You're pretty awesome; I hope you know that!!

Hello Mr.Roboto. lol. I think that Dlive and Dtube are very good platforms, I have experience publishing in Dlive, I have shared the knowledge with the community about the use of the platform and I try to upload varied content in Spanish which is my native language and in English that I am learning. My content is varied and focused on living life in a positive, fun and responsible way. Knowledge is the key to achieving great things. I admire the work you do for the community. Blessings @fulltimegeek.

I am humbled and honored to be considered "bot quality" :) Seriously, it took me a while to figure out who was behind all of those lovely upvotes that I was receiving, and so I want to say thank you again, so much, for the bots, for choosing me and my posts, and for just being you! I truly care about this platform and the people on it, and will continue to do all of the things that I am currently doing, and focus on all things positive here!

Thank you again!

Well I always make awesome content and I've been promoting steemit since I found about it. Been telling people about it, how it works and been trying to bring viewers and other content creators to this platform.
Not that long ago i noticed some upvotes from few "fulltimebot" and I was like "wow I feel appreciated" and yes I check my blog quite often and I'm always surprised.
I am doing what I can to show people, that DLive is better alternative they YouTube or how I like to cal it "SafeSpaceTube".
But I am not stupid. Even though I lost 3 accounts (In no that I would be on range around 600k), I have another and I am using it to promote my content on DLive. I know that there are "social ranges" and I am using it for own purposes :P
Short version on YT - full version on DLive
Censored version on YT (even regular words) - Not censored version on DLive
Teaser on YT - Actual video on DLive
Releasing DLive video few hours before YT version
Links on my social media only to DLive version
Releasing DLive video ever 1 day before posting it on YT

Some videos on DLive have 5-10k views thanks to those methods.
To be honest I thought those votes were manual specially since I feel like they stopped :P
At least on my latest videos. But it is nice to know that I am/was on that list specially since most of my videos are in PL not ENG.
You can call me a "Godfather" of polish DTube/DLive community cause I was the 1st content creator who started to use, promote and bring others from YT.
If there is someone active on DLive/DTube from Poland then I can guarantee that directly or indirectly it is thanks to me :P
Hell before I lost my 3rd account, when you typed "dtube" in google search in Poland, 1st result was my channel and my videos (no bullshit)

Your upvote bots are actually saviours, at least for me they were.

When I was being targeted by @clvr your bots kept upvoting my content to help me out.

Luckily after the upvotes got from your bots the @clvr stopped downvoting me.

But my friend @mow is still getting downvoted by @clvr and he has no help as of now.

He is making amazing Nature photos daily and he gets $0.00 because @clvr keeps downvoting all of his bosts with 12k SP.

If you could help my friend out that would be great :D

You are a great guy and a glue for this community !

BTW me and @mow don't upvote ourselves and we upvote others.
So we are not selfish :D

I also do want to be considered into that list. :) I however enjoy writing rather than doing livestreams or vlogs. I mostly write about SteemTools that I think are underrated and/or basic tutorials for newbies. I have compiled most of those posts into a single post in which I was detailing what I can and have already contributed to Steem: https://steemit.com/steemcommunity/@jlordc/exclusivebloggingcoursewhatcanicontributetosteemit-oah09s1uhg

Right now, I am still mostly relying on platform votes (eSteem and steempress-io) and neo's vote for significant payouts. My aim right now is to have a natural SP of 1000 before the year ends. That's why here I am hopefully trying to also get some little support from you :)

Also I have tried @dlive and @dtube this week as I have invited over one of my artist friend who plans to do some live sketching, but I still do enjoy writing compared to those two platforms.

Appreciate your ongoing support for the community FTG- grateful

Question- I heard you mention DLive- I'm assuming that's a Periscope like app- is this part of the steemit blockchain? I have an iphone and went to download the app but can't seem to figure out which one exactly that it is. Any way you could post up the logo for the correct app or a link to the proper website so I can ID the app in the app store? Thanks
