How about the fact that you're raping the reward pool to the tune of $200 almost daily now with these bullshit posts? Would you like me to completely kill off your service? If so, please continue doing what you are because you're very close to me doing so.
It really wouldn't be hard for me to start countering everything your service does. How would your customers like that? Pretty sure they wouldn't want 50+ flags every time they receive a vote from you.
I think it's being forgotten, that the whole reason that @minnowbooster was created by @reggaemuffin, was because all of the "boosters" available on the market had a negative roi... and MB wouldn't be so successful if there wasn't such a huge gap left by the competition. I'd be happy to say that there are other boosters who do a better job than MB, however, it's just not true. They spread 90% of profits to a diverse group of investors, where every other bot owner simply keeps the profit, and don't offer a good return.
The @minnowbooster team is very open to suggestions and constructive criticism. Which other bot owners have a customer service department? These guys care about their customers, that is the reason they are successful.
So I expect you will now flag me to oblivion for sharing my opinion, and I will have to accept that. But I will not be silenced by fear of your flags anymore.
Simply offer the community a better alternative to @minnowbooster, and they will go away of a natural course. I'd love to have a list of boosters that I could trust to answer complaints, that offer a reasonable roi, and that do something with their profits besides keep them.
Buildteam is a business, run for a a profit, but they are the most socially conscious of all the boosters on the market, and I'll be happy if you prove me wrong.
mostly I expect you to flag me for disagreeing with you. :bow:

@Berniesanders, I can't seem to get a direct response from you thus far, but seeing as to how adamant you are about the fact that minnowbooster is scammy, I would like to seriously understand your points.
I see your actions I simply do not have the means to understand your points clearly.
Once again, above anyone else who isn't in your inner circle, I have done my due dilligence in trying to understand by going through literally every comment you have made in the last 2 months to better understand why minnowbooster is worse than any other upvote service.
So far I have gathered:
I am trying to draw proper consensus on the matter so I may report upon this issue in an unbiased manner and more importantly propose a solution.
Many minnows me included relied very much on minnowbooster and am basically left in the dust in this war.
What I have also gathered from other members of Steemit is your actions though dubious to the public, is for the betterment of the platform. Please aid doing right by the platform as well.
I find it hard to do without a clear consensus on the matter.

Out of all honesty I'm using minnowbooster with the idea to Hold the fck out of anything I get. The issue is that everyone is just cashing out and greeding for the benefit of profits. I really want to build SP to be part of something in the future, but I must agree the voting services are wrecking the fck out of steem now. Just because they are almost all that is left as a way to get some SP. The thing is that The less you get the more you push to be a better content creator and that has to be respected.
I think your comment made me think about using any bots in the future. Hope things get better because the potential of steem lies in the future, what we get now is just a taste.
Much Love ♡

I agree with you. When I started I just wanted to earn dollars, now I post my blogs to get reputation. Its a big difference, only those can understand, they actually change their self.

Actually, they recently reduced ROI, so people would use it more for advertising and visibility than as an investment strategy...

Excuse me...what is this BS? You had absolutely NOTHING to do with my "visibility and fame." Do not include me in this nonsense. Yes, at one point I wrote a few posts for SteemSports, but that had no discernible impact on my "popularity" on this platform.
If you want to take credit for something, take credit for fooling the community into believing that SteemSports was going to be an actual sports betting platform after you were given tons of money and a high reputation...for ultimately producing nothing. You then "bought out" Steemvoter (by begging for whale votes on your multiple "Help me buy Steemvoter!" posts) and leveraged your undeserved reputation into additional support for your various voting scams/schemes thereafter.
It's bad enough that you pretend to be creating viable "businesses" by selling votes and being a delegation sales facilitator, but now you want to try to take credit for my relative success? What's with you and your "employees?" Is there not a single honest person among you?

Steemsports would have been great, if it wasn’t trolled, we had an app, you know that. Trolling destroys progress which is a big issue on Steem atm.

You’re blaming “trolling” for not developing a website/interface that you had somewhat operational for a month or so? Are you serious?
Was it the “trolls’” fault that the site was clunky or that nobody knew about it? Were the “trolls” responsible for development and marketing? Do you realize how ridiculous that excuse sounds?
And if you can be so easily derailed, why should the users of this platform continue sending you their money? What does that say about you and your team as “businessmen” and “developers?” If some “trolls” can kill your business plans, perhaps the plans weren’t very good in the first place? Or maybe there was never any intent to follow through?
I’m just asking questions. A lot of money was given to SteemSports. And now even more money is being given to Steemvoter, Minnowbooster, and Buildteam. And what is there to show for all of it? Vote-selling and some automated voting scripts?

The website was fully operational, and you are correct there is more to it than trolling, I was in a rush and gave an "off the cuff" answer.
Yes to start with the then development team and our past CTO were quite demoralised from all the trolling and lack of participation on our platform, we realised Steem is a limited market for sportsbetting with the current community size and users prefer paying with votes instead of SBD or Steem, which is understandable given the nature of Steem and why Streemian probably is no longer properly maintained.
Then the HF happened to increase payouts to 7 days instead of 24 hours, our then CTO didn't have the drive to recode the whole system to suit the new blockchain, the Steem price was low then too and he decided to move on to other things and we parted ways.
I haven't given up on Steemsports but believe it should take the publishing angle rather than betting which can bring legal issues with it. We are working on something that we should be able to release next month, it should be pretty cool.
Our current team is really good, the Minnowbooster code is really complex and is likely the most advanced upvote bot on Steem, especially with the ability to allow anyone to become a bot and the delegation leasing market is unique concept as well.
The BUILDTEAM coin is cool as well, we are working on a POS model that will simulate the vesting features of SMT's.
Steemvoter is being overhauled from the ground up in a better coding language and will be available soon as well with Streemian features and more.
We have a great mix of devs, designers and writers, all are really nice people and we build only on Steem because we believe in it. Almost everything I ever earned on Steem is in my personal account and is not all that much, you have done well for yourself as well, your account is quite sizable too. There are plenty of users out there with massive accounts from ninja-mining and sockpuppetry and other such carry on.
Anyways we have a few other projects in the pipeline as well, lots of interesting and engaging things coming.
I don't have anything against you, we were on the same team once and I'm glad you have succeeded, there is nothing wrong with that.
I continue to wish you well and hope you will reconsider your view of me in time.

Namaste and go fuck yourself scammy trash. There was no threat, merely a promise. Enjoy the fun, soon you won’t have a single post that even sees the light of day.
