I appreciate you and smartsteem for blacklisting such a powerful guy. This is why I gave you witness vote last week. And also it is remarkable that Jerrybanfield's witness position has now been dropped down to 31. Is there any way to bring him further down? I think there are many good witnesses who haven't reached top 100.

Update- I have a doubt about this as well. when you remove such powerful upvotes, will you be returning their money back? If not, what will you do with that Steem/SBD? Just curious!

The fact that anyone can/will put up some crap content (that benefits no one) and buy bots to get noticed is hilarious.. it's like those hopeless people on Instagram that buy their followers, anyone with any real intelligence laughs at them (until it becomes to pathetic to laugh at anymore).

that might be the best comment so far, personally ive been on steemit for months and i never heard about the guy until this week ... bubble universe , you cant have free speech if its not absolutely free, but monetary damage is another topic i suppose, i dont know enough about it to voice my opinion on the matter, i pay little attention to witnesses since most of them i read so far are quite content fascists.
I actually decided to unvote most of those, b/c i usually did b/c someone asked, i dont like politics and central authority (which is what this system is really) but i'll go over their blogs one by one at my own snailpace and label them on a scale from intellectual anarchist over neutral to content nazi ... and bast my votes on that from now

interesting read anyway

whatsup (75) · 6 years ago

Nobody decided he isn't worthy of being on SteemIt. They decided to not sell him a product. Voting Power. The people who own the bots are selling voting power and many of them have decided not to sell it to Jerry.

That is totally different than running him off the site or banning him from saying what he wants to say.

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

Okay but what have you to say about this. People whine about Youtube right, Youtube doesn't not allow anyone to use their service, they simply block monetization. That's a pretty even argument about not allowing people to use bots. On youtube people are still free to post content, they just dont want to do it if they can't earn money the same way jerry can still post he just can't use voting bots.

$0.00

bashadow (65) · 6 years ago

Apples and oranges. A vote bot is a business, not a service. they sell you votes. The bot owners have the right to decide if they want to sell you a service. A person does not have a right to buy from the business. The Bid Bots are not preventing jerry from posting or doing what he wants. he is still allowed to post as much crap as he wants, just like I am allowed to post as much crap as I want.

You can not force a bid bot owner to sell to everyone, regardless of content. There are bots that refuse to sell to NSFW content. Are they wrong for that refusal? It's is their business to be run as they see fit. I myself do not like them, so I don't use them. later down the road I may use them, but I am not much into buying reputation or votes.

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

The same way Youtube and Adsnese are both businesses and have the right to not offer their service to others. I realize your not saying this but the overall feeling of Steemit seems to be fuck youtube steemit rocks and in reality both have a way of censoring people and both are well within their rights to do so

bondy007 (50) · 6 years ago

censoring jerry would be systematically flagging every post and every comment he makes to take it below the level required to be visible.

Removing his ability to be seen on steemit is censorship. This, this isn't wanting your product (bid bot) to be associated with someone like Jerry.

$0.00

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

I think this is an interesting argument. I think Steemit or any platform has to have some rules, some best practices, etc, but ultimately the important question is who gets to decide what those are and who gets to decide who is violating them.

If Bidbot owners band together and decide not to allow Jerry to use their service they are harming his visibility on the platform and harming his ability to earn money. Now its totally within their right to do that but I think that's a dangerous path to go down. What if bid bot owners decide to band together and do that to anyone they dont like or disagree with? When some people are allowed to use them and others aren't it creates an unlevel playing field.

While I use them on occasion I think bid bots ultimately are kind of bad for steemit. its basically pay to play. imagine if the nba allowed people to pay to play in the league. do you think people would still come out to games to watch tim the accountant play basketball instead of lebron james?

youtube censorship is a blackbox..

steemit censorship is public .. at least you could draw attention to being unfairly censored here. on youtube, you are just fucked.

here you can be saved. i was. after being unfairly downvoted simply for stating alternative facts and asking questions. I found myself losing reputation right and left. but I reached out in posts to steemcleaners and others and posted about being screwed. and a whale came and helped me.

i still kinda fuss about needing to be saved, but then maybe this is just as it is, if your cause is righteous, then someone can and probably will help you. if it is not... you might sink.

I would disagree and say Youtube isn't a blackbox, otherwise we wouldn't see all these "youtube demonetized my channel videos" and on the rare occasion Youtube actually just wipes and deletes a channel they don't stop that person from making another account telling about what youtube did to them.

On steemit while everything is publicly recorded on the blockchain ie I can see who downvoted me, not everyone peruses SteemDB to see what's going on, personally I've been on here a year and havn't really bothered to dig into that stuff extensively. Also I'm always discovering new Steemians everyday and the search function isn't great so its completely possible people on here are being fucked with by bots or high SP users and I would never hear about it.

@rulesforrebels you have a point. WHen a post like this is made to influence the business owners by giving them a bad business wrap that will make them feel compelled to blacklist him then it becomes a sensorship.

I am too new on steemit so dont want to get myself entangled on the politics here but alot of these posts are personal based and not community.

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

Yeah while it's true bot owners own their bots and can choose who and who not to do business with but at the same time when bots have a lot of power on steemit to determine who's posts earn money and who's posts get attention by blocking someone from using bots your in a sense stopping them from being able to earn money and stopping them from being able to be seen. While they may not own or be in control of steemit they are doing the exact same thing to those creators that youtube does to creators when they demonetize them or when they hide their videos.

I guess it begs the question ultimately who gets to decide who's content is worthy, who's views are acceptible, etc. I really don't like it when I see people banding together in groups to go against someone else who they disagree with or dislike

People have a very strange sense of censorship. What does the ability to buy a vote or have a vote sold to you have to do with censorship? There are thousands of post on steemit that have never paid for a vote. Are they all censored post because they did not pay for a vote?

fabyflavour (52) · 6 years ago

@bashadow, if these bid bot owners decides not to take his business then that is within their rights and can return his funds but some wait until he pays to then withdraw their votes.

Also, by this post listing business that have offered services and asking other members to stay away is using power to manipulate the outcome.

Someone like me with no power cant even say a thing fearing the wrath of the powerful
A lot of the people with voting bots vote for themselve on their own posts with 100% power so a kettel cant call the pot black

There are a few witness votes i have withdrawn from people before for the violation i see them committing.

@Berniesanders This and the others abusing the system are also driving users away.. It wouldn't surprise me, if they end up removing bot voting, and keep it to whales only. As for the other abusing the system, they should have a system to block any outgoings, including any savings. it seems harsh, but users shouldn't take the mick!., so if and when an offender creates a new account, they'll get fed up eventually, if mass repeating their abuse to the site.

You are using bid bots on almost all your posts and complaining that you are unable to earn anything from this website. Most of the curation communities don't like people using bid bots.

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

I think what @daydreams4rock is getting at is that Steemit isn't about quality content, its about playign the game. Nothing wrong with that, but its the reality. On youtube quality content alone can go viral. Here on steemit you need to know the right tags to use, the right people to befriend the right upvote bots to pay.

I've had posts that get 150 upvotes which is a clear indicication people enjoyed the content but I still only earn 47 cents where as someone else creates a shit piece of content that gets 7 votes and they earn $120

techwizardry (65) · 6 years ago

"On youtube quality content alone can go viral."

And you would make pennies, and then maybe even have some of your vids demonetised if they are political in nature.

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

Making money online isn't simple period so I'm not gonna knock steemit too hard for that and while Youtube does have it's problems I've made WAY more on Youtube than I've ever made here.

The whole pennies on Youtube thing is kinda a myth, at times I have over a $20 CPM, I havn't seen my CPM under $15 in a long time, I would say $17 is about average for me. My content appeals to certain advertisers of SAAS software, ecommerce platforms etc. It's very true however that more general types of content ie a vlog isn't going to monetize well. There are Youtubers who are basically famous who are still working restaurant jobs but its because while they do have a shit ton of views, none of those views are really catered towards anything so maybe a company like Pepsi will say shit we/'ll pay $1 per 1000 views just for brand recognition but your not going to have anyone really willing to pay a lot.

On the flip side an appliance repair guy who starts a channel and show syou how to diagnose a problem with your dishwaasher and how to fix it is going to get very high CPM because anyone watching that video is almost guranteed to buy a part to fix their machine so advertisers will pay more.

Not saying Youtube is perfect and not saying steemit is shit but there's no denying while it has issues Youtube is a far superior platform if for no other reason than the algorithm alone. Youtube knows content I wanna see that I dont even know that I wanna see. Steemit I have to do a TON of searching to find something that interests me.

jumokeflorencee (45) · 6 years ago

It's so painful and discouraging, doesn't even spur someone to produce an outstanding content that would end up going unnoticed

anouk.nox (70) · 6 years ago (edited)

Can be the case that he meant that. And yes I agree on that, you got to get noticed, or spend tons of money here. I don't do that though, nothing in my wallet comes from fiat investments, only earnings here. So it is possible, really! But it's harder and harder getting noticed, totally agree on this .. lots of bullshit trending topics here, from people that only post crap. Just in case he needed some tips, I did take the time to look at some posts, to see if I can contribute in any way as he is also using bots to have higher payouts, and that will make other groups not vote you. Everyone has different skills, and desires, just trying to help him out...

I used to think that @berniesanders was the bad guy instead of the fun guy ;) But I have a different view on that by now, and that jerrybanshit video kicked me even further to the other side .. By the way @berniesanders why don't you drop a better entry for @comedyopenmic ? Just to show Jerry who's boss??? And if you do, do it after tomorrow if you please, so I can judge it lol

@rulesforrebels i had to upvpte you.
Now riddle me how this works. I have seen some people with 1000 upvotes and 30$ and another with 50 and heck a lot of $$$

Is it knowing which bots pay big or is it knowing the whales who upvote you? I am very new on this but it is something i have been following and can't understand

rulesforrebels (61) · 6 years ago

This is probably my biggest problem with Steemit and I've actually written a couple posts about this topic. So I have had posts that get 150 plus upvotes so to me that means the community as a whole liked my content, however that post will only earn me like $3 where as I'll see another post with 7 upvotes that makes $120.

I understand that votes from people with higher steem power are more valuable but it seems really skewed that a post with overwhelming support ie 150 upvotes can earn nothing while one with 7 can earn hundreds of dollars. The balance of power is way out of wack.

I dont know a perfect solution. At first I thought make an algorithm so that after a certain volume of votes a post earns some type of bonus or something to kind of balance out the whale power however people will just use upvote bots or buy accounts and upvote stuff in large numbers. I'm not really sure what the solution is. Even sites like Youtube wrestle with this, they used to rank stuff based on upvotes and then realized its too easy to use bots to upvote so had to go to watch time as a main factor in their algorithm

Couldn't "demise" be the wrong term in this situation?
Looking at things purely optimistically?

Steem costing near or under a dollar, ideally.. would be a good thing.. to me..

Now if I spend a decent bit of money on it, while it's cheap, I can get a good amount of money's worth out of it. Whereas when it's 3.. 4.. 6.. 20$ each.. I can get far less steem for my $.

Knowing it has potential to go back to at least 2$.. I'd say steem dropping like hotcakes would be very beneficial to the community as a whole. Money smart people would have only ever had what they could afford to lose in steem and it would've been a fraction of their total income/available money at any given time.. and they'd be secure in their lives outside of steemit and not depending on an ultimately unreliable earning. (Things can happen in an instant and change your fate on posting platforms.)

Although I agree that it's up to each party to decide what they want to do, I also believe that steem/sbd price dropping very low, is beneficial to everyone who's been holding out so they can have a bigger say, a bigger bang for their buck, if you will, in the fight that currently is, freedom of speech vs. those looking to abuse bots vs. the stifling of content.... Idk, it's an all out brawl on here from what I can tell.

Peace to you all though, I wish you all the best. I use @therealwolf's service for vote selling because when I did my research, I saw he was truly making steps to cut the abuse, as have my friends. However large or small the part, the abuse needs to stop. There needs to be much better quality content being promoted and a lot less of the bs. We have a platform to represent here.. What type of society do we want to be? What type of wealth, in both money and intellectual value.. do we want to have here?

I can control who I upvote and who I don't but when bot owners start controlling who can use their service, I mean yeah it's their right to do it's their bot, but were also starting to give a single person arbitrary control over who's allowed to promote their content on here and who's not. If I dislike someone I can now use that power to not let them use my bot? I can but is that right?

I just find it hypocritical and funny how people on here bitch and moan so much about other platforms cencosring people, promoting a certain type of content, and then they do the same stuff over here.

I also just wanted to point out that I think jerry is only a piece of this problem so many other people are doing the same thing, hot and trending are flooded with garbage, jerry just gets mentioned because he does this better than most others and has more power to do it to a bigger extent.

more power to them. the community i imagine could decide we dont want this platform using bots, i imagine a hard fork could be done and there goes there power and money.

my point is once we start allowing a single person to dictate who can get ahead and who cant its a slippery slope. what if i had some powerful friends on here and i said hey you know that @swelker101 guys eggplant on axe handles, that's fucking dumb, lets all downvote his stuff 100% or lets not let him use any of our bots, then it really sucks to be you.

basically what im trying to say is everyone came here bitching and moaning about how bad youtube is and i see many of those same people participating in the same type of shit youtube does but its okay because its them doing it and not a corporation.

@guiltyparties, is it okay then for someone with a lot of powers to hold multiple accounts and upvote their own posts and comments with the said fake accounts?

I even noticed a powerful person like you give an upvote to same things you discourage.
I believe you are part of steemitclearners who discourage spamming and i am supprised to see you give a full upvote to a "lol" comment.

i think what is going on here is fight of the titans and the strongest only will survive.
To the weak and powerless the best we can do is watch and not poke our noses in to these fights. one down vote on my tiny account or blacklist and i am dead . lol

guiltyparties (70) · 6 years ago

You think I'm a powerful account? I do upvote a lot of people who are either appealing Cheetah or are trying to learn to use Steemit.

With self-voting there's a few differences between the types. There's people who legitimately made and financed their accounts, they fall under one class, lets say Class A. There's people who are abusing the free delegation @steem gives out and creating giant armies of accounts only for upvoting without any investment, lets say Class B. There's also people who do a mixture of the two to make a giant botnet to publish automated copy/paste content on all accounts, and then cross-upvote them, those are Class C.

The general consensus is Class A are using their own stake, Class B lose their delegation and are rendered useless, and Class C end up getting their scammed rewards removed. It's the Class C ones that are completely demolishing the reward pool but because they're not that visible and their accounts are hard to find, most people don't realize they're there. They're the reason new people can't get accounts without waiting.

That all being said, if we use your example of an LOL comment, the Class A account may say that once in a while and upvote it. Class B and C accounts will auto-post it 100 times an hour and hide it in old posts. One LOL here and there, supported by the person's own investment (SP they bought or earned) is one thing and the 100 LOLs, also known as 'comment farming' is another.

Also, as a user you do have the right to upvote your own comments and posts. That's you using your stake as you want. It's your right and freedom, as long as you're not 'comment farming' as above. (At that point it becomes so detrimental to the entire ecosystem it must be stopped.) If anyone tells you you're not allowed to vote on your own work, they're full of shit.

Hope I answered your questions.

Its about time, we (humans NOT bots) should make our own upvote, curate content, help fellow steemians. It is this automation that resulted to complication to those affected accounts.

With regards to content, if you think, the content is trash, so don't vote for it, and rather look for post that suits your taste, and give higher % of upvote, so that that content creator can be inspired to produce more quality content.

Flagging other users on the grounds that his/her post is rubbish, is totally unfair if not a form of bullying/anarchy of the powerful(those with bigger sp).

Steemit is for content creation, to express their ideas, feelings, helping others to learn something, by suppressing a person to post his content, is equivalent of killing the criminal even before he can commit a crime.

These comments are hillarious. You clearly don't know half the story and the comments you make ends being irrelevant.

Short story is, the OP is not happy about a post that was made by Jerry who used a few bots to upvote.
The post is deemed to be damaging the investment of Bernie and other big investors so they want these bots to stop helping such posts from trending.

Most of these people including Berniesanders do use bots to upvote so by you not using them then good luck if you ever get the exposure on steemit.

इस स्थिति में गलत शब्द "मृत्यु" नहीं हो सका?
चीजों को पूरी तरह से आशावादी रूप से देख रहे हैं?

स्टेम एक डॉलर के करीब या नीचे, आदर्श .. एक अच्छी बात होगी .. मेरे लिए ..

अब अगर मैं इसे सस्ता पैसा खर्च करता हूं, जबकि यह सस्ता है, तो मुझे इससे काफी धन मिल सकता है। जबकि जब यह 3 है .. 4 .. 6 .. 20 $ प्रत्येक .. मैं अपने $ के लिए बहुत कम स्टीम प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।

इसे जानने से कम से कम 2 डॉलर वापस जाने की संभावना है .. मैं कहूंगा कि हॉटकेक्स की तरह स्टेम ड्रॉप करना पूरी तरह से समुदाय के लिए बहुत फायदेमंद होगा। मनी स्मार्ट लोगों के पास केवल वही होता था जो वे स्टेम में खो सकते थे और यह किसी भी समय उनकी कुल आय / उपलब्ध धन का एक अंश होता .. और वे अपने जीवन में स्टेमिट के बाहर सुरक्षित रहेंगे और अंततः अविश्वसनीय कमाई के आधार पर नहीं। (चीजें एक पल में हो सकती हैं और प्लेटफार्म पोस्ट करने पर अपना भाग्य बदल सकती हैं।)

हालांकि मैं मानता हूं कि यह तय करने के लिए कि वे क्या करना चाहते हैं, यह तय करने के लिए प्रत्येक पार्टी पर निर्भर है, मैं यह भी मानता हूं कि स्टेम / एसबीडी मूल्य बहुत कम हो रहा है, जो हर किसी के लिए फायदेमंद है, इसलिए उनके पास एक बड़ा कहना हो सकता है, उनके लिए एक बड़ा धमाका हिरन, यदि आप करेंगे, वर्तमान में लड़ाई में, भाषण बनाम स्वतंत्रता बॉट्स बनाम सामग्री की स्थिति को छिपाने की तलाश में .... आईडीक, यह मैं जो कह सकता हूं उससे यहां पर एक पूरी तरह से विवाद है।

हालांकि आप सभी के लिए शांति, मैं आपको शुभकामनाएं देता हूं। मैं वोट बेचने के लिए @ हैलवॉल्फ की सेवा का उपयोग करता हूं क्योंकि जब मैंने अपना शोध किया, तो मैंने देखा कि वह वास्तव में दुर्व्यवहार काटने के लिए कदम उठा रहा था, जैसा कि मेरे दोस्त हैं। हालांकि, बड़े या छोटे हिस्से में, दुरुपयोग को रोकने की जरूरत है। प्रचारित होने वाली बहुत अच्छी गुणवत्ता वाली सामग्री और बीएस के बहुत कम होने की आवश्यकता है। हमारे यहां प्रतिनिधित्व करने के लिए एक मंच है .. हम किस प्रकार का समाज बनना चाहते हैं? धन और बौद्धिक मूल्य दोनों में किस तरह की संपत्ति .. क्या हम यहां रहना चाहते हैं?
