Doing stupid things for a vote...

in humor •  7 years ago  (edited)



For those who don't know me on Steemit, there was a time where I tried to write funny stories. For different reasons, I found it difficult to continue with my blog, and little by little I stopped writing. Now, that I have more time, I decided to take up my writings and when I came back, I found this...

bot.jpg



Far away were the times, where to get a vote you had to interact, create communities and pray, that a whale take pity on your situation. At that time, the vote of a whale was like an orgasm. I updated the blog every 15 seconds, imploring that click of someone with a lot of SP.

For those who don't know, by March of 2017, the Steem had a value of $0.23. Those that we published at that time, we were the real passionate of this platform, because we were in the worst moments of Steemit. Only a few benefited, and most of us published for pure pleasure. Although, there was always the illusion that a whale came across our post, and when that happened, it was night of celebrations...

For this and seeing the current moment in which we are, I felt with certain rights and decided not to fall into the influence of these bots to get votes. I had something to invent, to avoid having to pay and at the same time, to have visibility. Sure of my decision, I started a campaign to attract the votes of these bots, without having to pay anything.

The first bot that I wrote was to @appreciator:

My first attempt, it was not productive. As you can see, this was the result of my message...

With my illusion intact, I decided to continue with my plan. And I wrote to @postpromoter:


postpromoter.jpg



A total failure my second attempt, it seems that these bots are not looking for love and are only interested in money. The result was this...

They were not going to beat me, I was just starting and I had to insist to achieve my goal. I wrote to @upme:

upme.jpg



It didn't work either, and little by little I was feeling defeated. I wasn't having the results I expected, but well...

I had my last attempt with @buildawhale:


buildawhale.jpg



As you can imagine, it didn't work. So, for the failure of my experiment, I have made a second decision: I'm not happy, with having in my post, only comments from my mother, such as:

Beautiful post, my dear son. I'm proud of you, you are the sun that floods my life...


tumblr_l3sgs4Hz7f1qbg4lro1_500.gif


Fuck it! I will pay for bots and thus claim the success and glory that I deserve. See you on the moon, guys!

It seems you got a $54.0333 upvote from @madpuppy at the last minute before the payout. (18.49h) and this comment is to make everyone aware.

Please follow @abusereports for additional reports of potential reward pool abuse. Thank you.

FUCK! It's just humor, I hope they do not take it seriously...

last year i was miserable and depressed but this year i decided to turn that shit around so now i’m depressed and miserable
:p

wow ....this is post is a veery good

Good one.
English very is difficult.

Savage

Note: When turning shit around, you might just turn 360 and shit just gets worse D:

Tinchooooo, some posts like these is what is missed in steemit, a little bit of humor is basic!!

Orgiessssssss for votingggg hahaha

Haha, thank you dear manu. I'm glad you liked it and that's what I notice in the trending. There is not a single funny post, so I take advantage of the opportunity: D

I am having the hardest time finding people who actually write funny stuff, because thats what I do. But now its just a bunch of people putting up memes and giphs. I want to hear embarrassing stories and hilarious moments that people ran into!

Orgiessssssss for votingggg hahaha

Why did we actually never do that at Steemfest...?
Or was I just at the wrong hotel? :-D

After this comment your hotel will always be the right one

haha, you bet

wrong hotel

lol - I knew it!!

SF3? I´m innnn and I´m sure tincho as well :-)

It's gonna be la bomba :-D

I like him humor it very is funny.

Tincho's post was the funniest one I had read in these past two weeks!

Wow, I admire your dedication to humor :) Because since you sent ...
buildawhale 50 SBD
postpromoter 50 SBD
upme 50 SBD
appreciator 50 SBD
...it's quite a costly joke :) But yeah that was a funny read :)

Not by me, Iol'd.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thanks and anyway, I paid for a vote of buildawhale. Please, show me your love, haha...

Thanks for sharing truly Speaking a lot of people still do that i myself have done it , its depressing to post something of value and you get no upvotes

oh.. pls no... It made my day lol 😁

So what you are saying is you are buying upvote with bots..

haha

Hahaha! I will flag you! I mean I will raise a white flag and surrender. It's the funniest post I read today. You got me!

yeah i have the same feeling except paying the bots is exactly that pay 5 SBD and receive a 4.75 SBD vote how do you get ahead? Or your really lucky:)))

quit it with the thumbs

The appreciator should have appreciated your persistency :D , and postpromoter should not have ignored your wonderful offer :P
Nice, funny post, lol
Now serious: I have stopped using these bots; I may use them occasionally, however. I found that the ebst time to use a bot is when the price of Steem is rising. That is when you would profit most from the bot; Also, only a handful of bots are good, especially, the one you mentioned.

It was pretty stupid, but I laughed.
https://steemit.com/funny/@themarkymark/wtf-is-this-nonsense

I run @buildawhale if you didn't know.

LOL... You were really fast, it was part of my post. I'm glad that my post has caused you a smile...

LMFAOOOOO....
I run database query from steemdata.com based on @themarkymark post to find you @tincho funny ass

haha really happy that you liked, that was my intention. I hope no one was offended, my goal was just to put some humor...

Fuucck, I got jebaited, thought it was real das why I commented on @themarkymark's post hahahaha. Should've posted that on april fools 🤣🤣🤣.

I would have never thought there was someone checking on random memos sent to vote bots . I'm glad there is and he has a sense of humor!
@tincho, I think this is even better than the vote

Lol

That 27 year old sister with the 120 cm bum, just too good to be true :)

To the Moon!!!...:)...

Haha that is so funny ! Selling your sister was epic ! 😂😂😂
But it is damn true . Hope those whales visit us too thou 😊😊😊

I'm glad you liked it! My idea was to put a little humor to all this. Have a good day!

All too funny, yeah always seems like a hit or miss, and sometimes having a guaranteed vote that has some pull behind it can be helpful!

Hello friend, I started in June of 2017 and I can say that it is as you say, in fact only twice I got whale votes. Anyway, everything in life changes and I think we have to adapt as Darwin Hahaha said. Upvoted, very good post.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

We agree, Darwin was always right, we will have to adapt :p

Bots kind of defeat the purpose of Steemit... It was supposed to be a way to get paid for quality content. If this goes on, the price will drop.

bots have turned black hat gaming the system into a mainstream accepted practice....abouttoexplode.jpg

But the reality is it essentially turning SteamIt into a spin zone of garbage for people mostly promoting cryptocurrency.

I have an 3 part article talking about this and other issues...
Take a look at part 1:

Your on your way up upgraph.jpg

pickfruit.jpgJust start collecting a bunch of rotten tomatoes to throw down at everyone once your up there!

And you will be as good as someone else we know without a sense of humor in high places!

steemitbanner_signed.jpg

I just sprinkled a whole bunch of upvotes with Steampower behind on alot of these replies....

I'm not a whale just a grouper working his way up to the food chain!
grouper.jpg

Hahaha thats funny

Where's @coquiunlimited to ax me now?!!

😈😈😈😈😈

Thanks for hanging in there through the 0.23 times.

Also thanks for keeping an sense of humor, and being a good son to a proud mother, I see how posts like this keep the mom comments coming.

Also baring in mind that you were here for the 0.23 times, sending those bots 0.001 was super generous of you, in historical terms.
:-p

Haha I sorry for my mother, I put her in this story only as an additive.

You're right, I can say that I was in the worst moments of steemit and I stayed like a rock. I think we deserve recognition and those 0.001 were worth their purpose...

i just recognized you....bronxcheer.jpg

steemitbanner_signed.jpg

This post had me in tears...from laughing. What are those bots for exactly? Haha Your attempts are so funny lol i just hope you dont get flagged hahaha nice try trolling those bots. And those cringeworthy comments-from-my-mother stuff is soooo relatable. Man, I am not happy with those too. Makes me think: naaaaa not posting quality stuff for that. 😂

hhahah right man

Haha I also hope they do not flagge me. Anyway, I think it's a good way to give visibility to a post, when a user generates good content.

I'm flagging you as funny,,,
You get 1 bronx cheer blllllppppptttt!!!bbbllpttt.jpg

Haha indeed. You just deviced a really ehem effective strategy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You're right. I tried to stopped using bot and now remains one bot that i using with no paid. Your funny blog must be make me more faster to stopped using bot.

So please whale, anywhere you stand come to my home when i started to not using bot again.

You will probably have to offer more than your house to a whale, haha

hahaha lol, i'm not elon musk . haha

I oftenly did same. You must had been my mentor 😅

But on the serious side, do you have sister, and are her measurement 98-85-120 :P

hahaha yeah... She is strong...

I remember when it was $0.08 and even before that when you could mine it with a CPU

Hahaha! Amusing! I love it =D I'm trying not to use upvote bots, etc. Any advice for someone just starting out?

SO IT IS ONLY THIS...

"Fuck it! I will pay for bots and thus claim the success and glory that I deserve. See you on the moon, guys!"...

CAN'T FIND ANY SOLUTION? IN CASE, IF CAN - PASS IT ON TO ME ALSO....

@nagavolu

@tincho this is so funny. there is a meal for everyone who upvote and comment on this post.
IMG_20180228_001852.jpg

WITH SO MANY DISHES AROUND ... SURE EVERY ONE WILL HAVE

I also think the same, if votes and reputation are getting purchased here (through bots), then how the platform is ensuring the quality?

Nyoe kadanggg

@tincho i quite agree that in starting you hv to keep refreshing to see the whale upvote...the time didnt changed much..if talking reality no whale above 70 repo i see voting on any minnow ppsts....finally the minnows left with using bit-bots. Even few of the whales bother of voting minnows post the thing wud have different...

send me $10 steem and ill upvote till you get $20 100% roi on any ammount ill do anything for a dollar pleaseeee

i loved it man been on steemit for almost 35 days still trying to figure this out post multiple blogs and alot more but havent made serious money tried bunch on stupid ways also still not working lol

oh... my... i don'y know what i am doing

Well I'm going through the same. I want to try this and that to increase my steem power but I always worry about the flagging and other stuff. It won't matter to them or people like you brother who are whales but sure as hell matters for minnows like us.

saessya che ko asaaan mae stalk karaan

Wallah ne keheen. Agar kiya b what do you care ?

The important thing is that you create quality content. If you do that, I do not think you have any problem...

Yah brother, absolutely.

yes. any guidelines? :)

Awesome posts brother. Keep it up hahahah I love it.

Hey @tincho , pos bagus!
Saya menikmati konten anda Terus bekerja dengan baik! Selalu menyenangkan melihat konten bagus di Steemit! :)

@tincho I hate to have missed your funny story, given that this post is hilarious. Is it my twisted sense of humor ? Anyways, Steem on :) Best wishes. - @splendorhub

Haha, thank you very much for your comment. I'm very happy you liked it. Have a good day!

Good one

OMG... you have just said everything; it is really frustrating working hard and at the end getting no votes from the whale; but that is not withstanding; i still have to work harder because i know surely it will pay some someday. steeming it is already in me and i hope it pays off someday.

I'm glad we agreed. Sometimes it's frustrating to have no visibility and votes. I hope that with time you will achieve it. I think the most important thing is not to give up.

Yes you are right, consistency and persistency is the key. Kudos for your great work.

Just Say HAhahahahah, You are intelligent, @tincho.

You are very senior in steem, and I am very junior, I need help from you and I really appreciate it @weykarma

images (4).jpeg

LOL - thanks for the laughter, @tincho
Humor always wins.

At that time, the vote of a whale was like an orgasm.

These were the good times!!! :-D

ufff I remember my first vote of blocktrades, I think I was jumping on the chair, and he had just left me $ 3, but those $3 were the glory at that time, haha ...

Haha, I think we've all lived these amazing moments of pure happiness :-)
Thanks for the article, I think you made a large group of people laugh out loud today. Quite a nice accomplishment.

Well, can't say it didn't work, looking at how this post got upvoted :P
It was pretty funny though, even funnier that @themarkymark mentioned it in his post.

haha I didn't expect @themarkymark's post, it made me laugh a lot...

lol, estas son las publicaciones que necesito todas las mañanas. saludos querido amigo @tincho

HA HA!

lol, pick your own payouts! :) People should enjoy it while they can.

You are not a whale, but my offers are still valid... haha

Hahaahahh! That was really funny. They'd be in the walk of shame if they got fooled by you. lol

@tincho tell me one thing only , how genuine writers can get Upvote fairly?

stupid vitamin XD

Flagged for promoting bullshit concepts. Also, you seem annoying, but that's beside the point.

Flagged back for not having humor... Drink some coffee man, and take it easy...

Go ahead and flag all of the other posts, as well. Except for the Barbara post, I'll burn those rewards and that benefits everybody, including you.

The rest of those posts, have at it.

No, seriously, flag them. My shitposts are way over-rewarded, and I will begin declining rewards from now on.

Simplemente genial @tincho, te la has comido, me reí mucho...felicidades..!

this post is one of the most funny post i have ever seen in steemit ....so funny lol

Lol your post is really funny. Climax of this post is very good with only mother comment

Beautiful post, my dear son. I'm proud of you, you are the sun that floods my life..

Vots are only reason why people soon quite from steemit which only degrade this community but we still believe on them to get fast success on steemit.

My mother is very sick and I need a lot of money....Without my mother, no one in this world....please help me sir...😞😞😞

I hope you liked it

Funny :D

You right...3 hrs later you are making more than $414.06 from this humor(ous) post. This post can't be stupid. LOL!
You @tincho must UPVOTE this stupid my comment!

haha ... okay that was you behind those msgs ... I happened to visit post by markymark but then stumbled upon your post in the trendings ... haha I had a good laugh reading the msgs :D

Como te va boludo?! No te he visto en mucho tiempo!

I may use these bots as soon as no one is supporting me anymore or just sell my votes when I can't write anymore, I cannot write forever. Funny tho.

I'm glad you liked it. If the post brought you a smile, my purpose is fulfilled...

Oh, good, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one trying to get free votes from bots haha

hahaha really an great post ... i just love it the way you had explained about all the paid bot well described and funny too.. this bots are just killing steem community and they don't helping they just taking advantage with us..

Lol, I'm glad you liked my post. My intention was just to give a little humor to what is happening on Steemit. I hope no one gets mad...

hahaha it was really funny and i had enjoyed it .. i think will take it as a funny humor 😉😉

Well a lot of us are doing stupid things to get votes like i am now saying something to get a part of your share.

Hahahahahaha....I was very much fascinated with this Post when I read it early in the morning. It looks like a little bit funny bur it has a true message: patience, perseverance, endurance. I wonder how you arranged those gif's and I am really impressed with your post @tincho. Now I understand why you are that great at present.

Very funny. I'm using Steemit because I can easily share to FB, LinkedIn and Twitter from here LOL. I sure would like to earn something one day... I know I'm a good writer regardless, but I feel it's such a s large ocean and don't know how to get to the niche boat!

You made my day, I love the part with your mom

Big fan my dear mom... :p

I lost it at selective orgies club lmao

This post has a lot going for it. Humour, sarcasm and dry wit. I like those attributes a lot. It seems to have been worth your while too. Nice one.
Cheers!
Dave

HAhahah this post is so good XD XD

hahaha..Nothing much to say :p

Hello @tincho why it is said that Steemit is like life.
How many times have we not bothered to see a publication that for us does not have more grace and still earns hundreds of dollars. I learned to leave those feelings behind and concentrate on continuing to improve on a daily basis. It is not always fair, but you can still take advantage of the situation to the fullest.
Greetings from Venezuela

Lol, bid bots have no penis and/or brain. That´s why your campaign didn't work out. But you where succesfull fishing some whales votes.
Nice post!

I am new to this community...... I feel your story is kinda funny and scary

I'll promise @tincho orgies for an upvote. ;)

Oh wait, he just proved that doesn't work. That was the whole point of the post. :-\

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Muy divertido el post, gracias por compartir.

Dear @tincho

I believe its good people and you've got a high concern towards the poor people like me. I haven't commented on Your post tonight, I understand and I'm sorry.
I need your help, my life was in debt lilit. May I know, where should I ask for help. I don't have a job in the country and to this day I have no costs to get married.

Sorry my impudence, kan has pitted the unfortunate fate of me in your post @ Master

hahaha you are insane,, i had once think of doing it but decided not to coz im afraid of getting banned hahaha, and by the way i fell in my chair while reading those memo that you posted hahahaha

I have to say, this post made me laugh! Good job!

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it.

My vote is not of any value but I like your campaign and your writing.
You have my upvote LOL

Absolutely hilarious, Tincho. And educational at the same time. Quite the gift!

Well ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AS ALWAYS YOU KNOW. NEW COMMERS :
NEED TO BE RICH TO INVEST IN SP
OR
NEED TO BE GF/BF OF A WHALE
OR
NEED TO BE A PROGRAMMER AND MAKE SOMETHING RELATED TO STEEMIT
OR
NEED TO BE GOOD AT ASS LICKING OF WHALES IN THE CHAT OR DURING MEETUPS
OR
NEEDS TO BE A HOT CHICK POSING IN BIKINIS OR NAKED
OR
SHOULD BE A SCAMSTER
OR
FAMOUS YOUTUBER

THE TRENDING POSTS ARE EITHER OF THE SAME PERSON OR CRYPTO RELATED OR COMPLAINTS.

SOME POSTS WITH ONLY A PHOTO OR VIDEO OF SOMEONE HAVING DINNER OR WRITING 2 LINES MAKES 500+ $$.

I can totally relate

Hahha this is so funny. Cant imagine you messaged these bots with funny antics. Made my day! 😂🤣😂

Saludos, me encanto tu articulo, vaya me hizo sentir bien increible, porque de entrada me ha ido llevando a lo que pienso cuando leo los post de otros, los mios los publico por gusto propio asi no voten por el, pero me parece interesante y de valor para mi hacer publicas mis ideas, eso me satisface , y al final de tu articulo me relaja porque es un cierre de tema relax, ligh, sincero y nada complicado, me haz sacado una sincera y espontanea sonrisa, exitos.

Hahaha, this is the best post I've seen all day. I didn't think I'd be laughing just by reading this. 😂

Yeah we can't be purists around here to get those large amt of votes. 😂 Self voting ftw! Use bots and go trending! 😂

A captivating and motivating story. Going to keep at this Steemit thing and continue to hope for the best!

Assuming that the bots are guys as you imply with the stint you pulled in promoting your sister for whale vote, I am screwed as I only have 5 brothers. This system is rigged!, whales only circular vote!, I came in at the wrong time... and oh wait... I don't even have steem to pay for a bot vote. Why am I even here? 😂😂😂😂 #feelingdepro

good post brother, I invite you to know my blog

your post is so much helpful thanks

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Times have changed, brother. It used to be that we stood side by side as minnows at arms. But now, you have gone full-on whale. I shed a tear not because of my loss, but because I am happy that you have elevated to the levels we once dreamed about. I'm just happy to see you back posting here again.

Without these vote bots, I am loss at sea. Now, I am left to pay just to stay above water haha! This is the price I am paying for a transgression I know very little of. I hope you are doing well!

My dear friend, do not give up. We will be the same again, although we may have to pay for some votes, haha. Everything has changed a lot and maybe we will have to adapt.

I hope everything is fine for your lands and that you are always accompanied by those who love you. Have a great week my friend!

This is the most funniest thing i have read on steemit in 7 months. My vote is just worth 0.01$, even if it was 100$ i would have voted 100%. It made my day.

Your comment made me happy. I'm really grateful that you liked it. I already fulfilled my purpose, if this was so!

Wise words... True... Then? I follow you...

Hahah that some good humor mate! XD Good to see the fun side of steemit

Humor with reality. One of the best where I don't see people whining about discrimination in rewards but enjoying and making it fun.

Would love to see more of it.

Great humore. It is good to she that some is still having humor and share a funny story but with a deeper meaning if someone would like to put a bit more into it:-)

articles that bagis, I love it, hope you succeed always

this is hilarious but I feel your pain. I joined in July so I missed that part of the steem experience you were talking about but it must be like being in the twilight zone coming back and finding what you did. I will follow along your journey. You're funny and your content is creative.
