There is no differents upvoting yourself, leasing SP or selling votes. In all sceneries the SP stake holder is making the money supposed to go to the quality content writers.
So while you started the upvoting business here, and you earned enough for it, you are not the right person to deal with it.

Other than him and Transisto, who else actively deals with this type of #rewardpoolrape at this scale?

What do you consider 'reward pool rape'? Original content shared exclusively on steemit.com perhaps?

11 of my original writing blogs have been flagged because I'm making too much?

Is there a way of working out exactly what I'm allowed to earn from my writing so I can avoid getting flagged like this?

What other factors are taken into consideration? For example, a piece of furniture nailed together and not finished so you get splinters in your arse whenever you sit down would not fetch as much money as a planed and sanded seat with dovetail joints and varnished surfaces.

The apprenticeship and time served must surely be taken into consideration?

I've been writing for more than two decades and have honed my skills, taking courses on editing and proofreading (paid for from my own pocket, not steem) and therefore, I've invested time and money into my apprenticeship.

So, when I write a blog post, not only do I put in hours of writing, decades of writing experience and many more decades of my life-experiences from which I get my writing, you also get a little piece of me and my skill as a writer and storyteller.

@transisto has flagged 11 posts this past couple of days and I'm getting the feeling that it's not just because he/she believes I've been over-paid.

Have you asked Transisto why he’s downvoting your posts?

Yes. I'm still waiting for replies on the few media I've used for now (steemit.com and chat).

It looks like the lack of steemit.com views could be part of the reason but that's not taking into account that busy.org and esteem etc all have ways of viewing posts that are not counted on steemit.com.

As one writer among the thousands here on Steemit.com, I suppose it's a paradox that I've been noticed by a whale account only to be seen as earning too much for the substantial skill and experience I'm adding to the platform (yes, I am aware that statement sounds arrogant and I have to say it's taken a long time for me to get over my self-confidence issues and actually lay claim to my talent as a writer).

It's a shame @transisto has only just noticed me and my mega-earnings and didn't have time to find my posts when I was earning the vast sums of fuck-all and give me a bit of a boost to encourage a burgeoning writer on a brand new platform.

There's not much point in building an account as a writer on steemit.com if the only thing that happens is your posts get flagged to oblivion if one person deems you're earning too much for their liking.

My writing may not appeal to @transisto but they do appeal to some voters on the platform.

What's not clear here? Someone who uses the steem pool for his advantage - shall not deal with others using the same pool for their advantage.
You sold the pool for sbd's - you can't complain when someone else does it in a different way.

I'm fairly certain that you really don't know what you're talking about here, so I'll just go ahead and continue watching you anger the beast. But my sincere recommendation is to not do that.

Good luck.

I'm not angry at all. I'm just telling the facts that other users are afraid to tell.

I'm fairly certain that you really don't know what you're talking about here, so I'll just go ahead and continue letting you anger the beast.

I understand that after getting some votes, you are all his.

ats-david (74) · 7 years ago

You see...this kind of stupidity is what I'm talking about.

First of all, I wasn't talking about angering you. You're a nobody. Certainly not a beast.

Secondly, the fact that he upvoted one of my posts 15 days ago is pretty irrelevant. Perhaps you can dig up the many many posts of mine that he has upvoted. While you're at it, find nearly every other whale on the platform that has upvoted a post of mine at one time or another over the past 15 months. Does that mean that I am also "all theirs?"

Third...it's obvious that you don't know anything about me either, so perhaps you should quit while you're ahead? I don't have much patience for ignorance and stupidity these days.

littleboy (72) · 7 years ago

Thanks. I am writing a extended version of this expose. I am writing for 2 hours and it will probably take another 2 hours. A little excerpt from what I am writing:

Recently, @transisto revealed a horde of abuse by people who received delegation from @freedom. You can read about that here. I dug a lot deeper to get more attention to this issue. I have documented some of the major recent abuses by freedom's delegates in the coprehensive post below.

Freedom is currently delegating to the following accounts.

@utopian-io is a service rewarding open source contributions. So, there is no abuse here.

@appreciator is a voting bot. It doesn't vote on comments. It is voting on low quality posts, copypasta and illegal posts, that is, posts that violate laws. This post voted is copied from youtube.

This post copypasta from cnet. This post it upvoted is most likely copyright infringement.

@funny-gifs is a user who got 389,538.264 steem delegation from freedom. He or she is using it to upvote on low quality comments.

You actually don't have enough SP to counter them. We need action from multiple whales.
