It has been a while since I did a short animation. I was worried my skillz were fading so thought I would knock one out, if you pardon the expression. It took a little longer than I thought but it was worth it!

Enjoy!

Thank you for posting this lively animation @meesterboom.

Lovely work.....those were some tough dudes...no problem for the cheeky one. ^__^

Wishing you and yours all the best.

Cheers.

Hello lass!! They were some mean ole hombres alright! I though it would be nice to dust off the old skills!

Hope all is well with you :O)

....and we are so glad you did. Steemians love these animations....too humourous.... ^__^

Thank you for your kind wishes......all is well so far... ^__^

All the best.

Cheers.

http://bitblocksproject.com/ ....do you know anything about this coin....they are doing airdrops on discord.

....just a rhetorical query....having a look myself.

I didn't know about that one. I will take a look. You know me, I love a good air drop!!

This guy is very well armed...Where did he find this ancient kind of sword and this modern gun?
What is He, UN Blue Helmet ? 🤔 Order & Piece Conductor & Implementor on Steemit? 🚁🛩🚓I'm sending helicopters, planes & vehicles to help Him...

He could do with all the help he can get. Although he is pretty handy by himself!

Hehe, he has everything in that magic bag! :O)

Ooh, yes you are right, The Bag. There used to be a cartoon, I watched a lot, called "Sport Billy"...This Billy had a Bag and always had everything needed inside...

The coolest of things! I think its what everyone dreams of when younger!

I thought maybe my drooping eyes were playing tricks on me last night, but nope, there does appear to be a sippy cup in that pack...lol! You definitely have not lost your touch, battle ax to the head smoking mustachio!!

Hehe, Cheers my lovely!!! A sippy cup. It really does look like one!! Lol!!

Oh good, I've missed the Boomster brigade of animatione'. Your evil stickdudes are classic. Down to the cigi puffs and all. Good job cleaving and blasting some of the dark sides of the site.
And your final ending, grand shout out to on of the classic scenes in Indiana Jones.

Ha! That very scene was going through my mind! :0D

I can imagine. Take that, you round headed punks. I've heard the movie scene was real, ad-libbed, because he was sick, and had to run off set right away, so just pulled his pistol, shot the guy, and the rest was movie history.

Now that is a cool tale!

You don't mess with a Father of the Year nominee! His bag has diapers, change of clothes, battle axes--just about everything a modern father needs on the go.

I like how shitposters are quite proud whenever they schmooze with whales. I mean, I get the use of bidbots as I have used them quite a lot before, but those people who brownnose without any sort of embarassment is something else. The spamfarmers have evolved quite a bit from their earlier days, haven't they Boomskie!

As always, your animation skillz see no signs of faltering. Top notch stuff, brohammer!

Ah the brown-nosers, they are awful!!

I get the use of bid bots too. In fact I was quite the ardent user is randowhale when it first started up! To get into trending though. It's just rubbish. The return too is awful, out it was when I last looked. What is wrong with giving a brutha a positive ROI!!

I see what you mean about this now. I took a look at the trending page and there are a lot of rubbish getting mad dough there. After carefully examining it, one could easily spot bidbots occupying the top 5 voter spots!

I think it's even more than that and smartsteem uses user votes too so is harder to detect!

Smartsteem? Holy cow! I've been out of the loop for so long!

Get back in the loop! Get back in now!!!

@jedau used Get back in the loop!

WOOOOOSH!!

It's not effective!

You are absolutely right. All this, dude with a lightsaber deflecting laser shots nonsense in the middle of a pitched battle, half brick and a fun and boom. Job done! :O)

Is that a backpack of holding he's got there? I like that it also has a drink bottle section XD

goatsig

It is! I thought the drink bottle would be a nice little addition :0)

Gotta stay hydrated right ;D

goatsig

Hehe, always!!

Bahahahahahahahah.... bahahahahhahaha I seriously have a stitch in my side!!!! Bahahahahahahaha... oh, so well said my friend. So well said. If we had a nickel for every one of those posts we would have ALOT of nickels!!!!

We would be floating in a sea of nickels!

LOL. Really like this one, meesterboom. I want a bag like he has! Lot's of goodies for dealing with garbage!

I want one too!!

Shitposting is a very relative term. Some might say it's shit when other might say it's a treasure. I still think boosting is good for a well-made post.
Boosters just have to stop boosting spam posts without fund returning.

Thats true that quality is very subjective but there are some posts which are just plain out and out shit!

Yes, most of them are plain shit. But how can you stop it? You just have to adapt to the current situation. There is no such thing as unity. Everyone cares only about money.

The situation is quite funny. They say don't use bots and at the same time, they delegate their SP to them to get profits. Because they can't utilise 100% of their SP.
The large sea of hypocrites trying to bite the most piece of the cake hiding behind the mask of the big words like transparency, community and future.

There are lots of things that can be done. One of the simplest I think, is to get rid of the trending tag. Even if it means just renaming it to something more transparent like paid for advertising lol.

It's true there are a lot delegating to bidbots. I think it's poor because those are rewards that could be given out organically

The thing is big guys who invested for a long period of time want to get their profits.
And I can understand that. Why would they invest then in the first place.
And one of the best ways to get profits is to make autobots for voting. So their voting power will be utilised to almost 100%.
They are the support and the curse of the platform at the same time.
They leave - price goes down.
They stay - they keep getting profits.
It's not the problem of people who buys the votes because there are millions of them and you can't tell to everyone not to use it lol.

First of all, the platform can fix one thing with spam - cut the maximum of posts that newcomers can make per day. They can still post but only 1-2 articles. And maybe 50-100 comments before they get to the higher rating.
Spam Bots won't be able to do shit and also won't be able to spam 10 shit articles per day.

Oh yeah, I have always supported the post limit. It would be the killer for those that spam.

I don't really but into the investors needing to make a return though. That is a picture painted by investors so as to legitimise their antics.

Steem is a cryptocurrency. When you invest in a cryptocurrency you invest in something that you expect to appreciate in value. That is your return. To them go on a platform that utilises steem as it's payment mechanism and expect a further return is a bit greedy. But that is solely my opinion.

Did you know for example that most bid bots are funded by large whales who did not invest any actual money?

Not sure, I thought they just bought steem at the beginning or bought delegations later so they get some % in return.

Ah well, it is a veritable rabbit hole. The top six or seven I think it is bid bots rent out their delegations from pretty much one whale and that whale was one of the original steem pre-miners therefore didnt buy a bean.

It's not about getting a reasonable ROI for most it's about getting money which I dont have a problem with. ITs steemit that is why most are here. But I do hate the narrative that is painted to justify it when it isnt actually true.

The people using the bidbots to get exposure are actually facilitating the very system that denies them views and votes for free.

I am sure it will all change though. That is why we have the beta tag.

Also dont you hate the fact that most if not all bid bots actually offer a negative ROI? How cheeky is that, lol!

Sometimes shitposts are the only reason why I use the internet.

You need to knock more out, keep it coming.

Hehe, I think I will now that I have started again!

Love the smiling attacker and the cheeky wink! Mental note to self-no shit posts or 🔫

Lol! Always a good mental note that one!

How long without seeing them, the animations returned. Great! I love these jobs. congratulations dear friend @meesterboom
I wish you a good start to the week

I am glad you enjoyed the return you will probably be seeing a lot more!

What good news, they will be very welcome

Aw cheers mate!

This is actually the first video iv'e ever watched on Steemit lol. This video was pretty funny and don't like those guys trying to cheat the Steemit system lol. Im a animator as well but I do 3D animation.

3d is proper animation! Do you post it here?

Yes indeed! Check my blog to watch one of ,my animations.

I did :O)

that GREAT! :D

Excellent show, Boom. I was just wondering why our hero has a baby bottle in his sack? The bad guys obviously smoke and have dirty facial hair, so no issue there(although maybe not enough mustache twirling). Cheers~

HAhaha, yes the baby bottle is my bad drawing... its meant to be a regular bottle!

Too fast, I can't even read!! I am a slow person!! Make it slooooooow

Just kidding! I think it is wonderfully creative!

I will make a sloooooooow one for you! ;O)

I didn't care about the bots before too until one of my friends started researching them. Not that you get too many profits but at least you are seen together with all shitposters.

It won't change before the next soft fork on steemit, so have to be flexible. What do you think? I'd seriously love if it would be more transparency.
No one is going to stop that before the major adjustments to the platform.

I don't like them. But at the same time I would never want to enforce a stop on them.

I just worry that the people who use the boys to get seen don't realise that they are not getting seen. Not really. The people who look at trending are not really the people who will be looking to support people in their future endeavours.

But as I say,I have always been happy for people to use them to get a boost. I just don't like the fact that people stack several of them to get on trending which is what newcomers see when they arrive. Or outsiders. There was a part recently which is really just a scam which was almost at the top of trending and is outsiders see that it will just reinforce the image that steemit is some kind of scam

Yeah stacking fifty different boosts doesn't help at all. And also scam on trending is awful.
I also think that boosting doesn't give you true supporters. People will support you if you connect and converse with them regularly.
I'm curious about the changes that will be on the next fork.

I am too, Iwonder if there will be anything to look at stuff like that or it will just be this onboarding malarkey which seems to be causing so much trouble

Hahahahaha. It was definitely worth it! :D

Hehe, definitely! Cheers! :O)

Hehehe the skillz are still there dude.

Lurks into her lower rep corner again

Lol. Not so low!

The Church of Piglet greatly approves of the message in this animation.

All hail the piglet!

I have never seen you doing this kinda animation.
this is good.

I used to do them all the time!

Maybe before our interaction

I stopped because they were so labour intensive and people seemed a lot less interested in those posts, but hey, I think I will start again :O)

yeah ;)

that is HYlarious! nice animation. Disney may be calling soon!! i like how the axe grew when it came out of the back pack!

I know, I like that too. Its my favourite trick in an animation is the small bag with giant stuff!

you should have made the gun bigger also.

Hehe, I was gonna. I was gonna make it a big trumpet gun!

that would have been perfect! maybe next time

I did one before!

yours.gif

lol, that is pretty funny, promoting Steemit I see.

Of course!

ahahahahah: D is great.
a very successful animation friend. What's in that bag? :D

Danger! Thats what is in there! :O)

Well, even if it's an animation, I think you just made the wishes of many of us true with respect to those shitposters who regularly submit terrible or nonsensical posts to our platform. At least the message is there. Very good @meesterboom. Greetings.

Sometimes it's best to say it with a picture!

Wow! Stickman animation. Reminds me of playing a fighting online game involving stickman back in the days. Your animation is not bad. Haha! Upvoted!

I like stickman because I can't draw lol

First, I think it's cool but when they hit each other, I changed my mind. That's so scary as animation.
good job!

I like to make them fun :0)

Yeah, I know that you didn't meant to scary me ^^

I sure didnt!

I wish your skill be more excellent. Don't stop to exercise usually.

Very good position of my friend @jlufer.

Nice one bro keep it up

Yes indeed

Haha, made my day. Keep it up!

Cheers! :O)

great post about real life every day...

Happens on my manor every tuesday

On mine as well. hehe... ^__^

Lol :O)

Awesome. I do animated backgrounds for some of my posts and do simple animations in my PSP but I haven't done anything like what you have here in years. I like that it plays out how many people feel about Steemit. I think I want to try to put one together now. Great work. Thanks for sharing your animation and the inspiration to try one of my own.
