This is a post in relation to this reply, . Time for you to read.
I am very happy that the trash control has made such an impact and made awareness to the situation which Trending has become. I'm very glad that people such as @toresto is being so vocal for now I have a grasp of what people think because it allows to make new opinions of how to tighten the screws more.
When you develop the thought that trending is an advertising ground, you forfeit the ability to debate anything about Steem. It is a selfish thought as you use this thought to leverage your own means to get people to see your content. It is disgusting.
To say that because I didn't look at your content, constitutes that I am wrong, is woefully broken. There is no argument to be had as you've made the selfish claim that by using a bid bot, that you DESERVE to be on trending. Let me explain what Trending is there for. It is there for the public consensus to decide as a blockchain, what is the best content and why is it. You have robbed that chance by making this selfish act and whilst your intention might be pure, how you have went about it, is not. You have robbed the chance for someone that makes amazing content but has no means of advertising, to be left out in the cold, defeating the purpose of Steem. You are effectively making Steem less useful because it's being gamed and you're part of it. Congratulations. But I'm the bad guy here according to your logic.
Steem is here to help elevate content creators to become the absolute best and for Steem to be the hub for all things exciting and important content to consume. The public decides on that as this therefore gives a strong indication of what the diverse community wants. Not you. You don't decide if your own content is good enough. You have a biased and skewed opinion and therefore claiming that your content is good enough, doesn't cut it. You rob the public of that chance to vote.
To now quote some of your messages and how broken this argument is, let's give it a shot.
did you ever look if ever was on trending page before? never!!
So you admit your content was never good enough to hit trending because other people are using bid bots or your content never garnered the attention of the whales. So you decided to make the problem worse? Good idea mate.
did you think my post did not deserve to be on trending page?
Maybe you should ask the community that because if it was meant to be on trending, well it should be but it would seem like it never did according to you. So given this logic, this means your content was not ready and therefore it would seem you must improve on the ability to create content. This is your logic so to disagree on this comment, would mean you renegading from your question. It's a win-win for me this one, it's 10 points to me I think.
no way, no because you didn't even bother to see what you flagging
This question is voided mute because Trending is there to find the best content and without public concensus and this manipulation of voting, I now can't value this content correctly and so can't the community, therefore the flagging is justified. I mean your selfish acts has simply been neutralised by me. You should be thanking me. I'm saving you from yourself.
so you create something for steemit community
It would seem like you don't understand how this works. This bot does not work only on Steemit but for the blockchain. See Steemit is application which leverages of the Steem Blockchain. This bot looks at all trending within Steem and therefore Steemit posts which are artifically manipulated by these means are flagged. This is why on eSteem and Busy, you'll see the same flags. Interesting you're trying to educate me when I'm having to educate you now. Fascinating.
Now you talk about hardwork by the community and more but guess what, lots of people do hard work for charity and they don't ask for anything. You deserve nothing just because you did work. I can do work for any body but I deserve nothing. When you make great content, it still might not be good enough. You have to make absolutely amazing content to garner the interest of people. To say that you did hardwork, doesn't cut it.
I'm not downvoting your content because of it's work. I'm downvoting YOU. YOU decided to artifically upvote your content, therefore robbing us the chance to evaluate your content. YOU decided was already good enough and therefore took manipualtive tactics to better your chances whenever that's not the point of Trending. YOU damage the chances of other people making it with real content and if YOU thought your content was that good, you didn't even think of just putting it to hot and letting people maybe have an easier time seeing it. No you paid for it to make sure everyone seen it and therefore your arguments about hardwork is voided because that hardwork is overshadowed by what you did.
We deserve nothing and I can put 100's of hours into video editing but that means nothing if the end result isn't good. I certainly will not be manipulating the system to my favour. I will let us all decide upon it. How dare you question me. Look at yourself first.
And by the way, I find hilarious you're accusing me of making this when it was @heimindanger and just to say, he's given the opportunity for people to make it with http://d.tube which is a video platform for Steem. The content of great video producers can't be powered up enough because people like YOU stop them from being seen. How about you look at yourself first.
Btw hurting minnows? Sorry but um if you actually look at the clean-trending section, you can clearly see that in cases, 95% of rewards can be from a bot and the post getting 700SBD, that's 665SBD. Mate let's stop kidding around. You're robbing the chance for small people to make their content seen.
More whales will come to the clean-trending for those that understand what trending is for. With your logic, Steem is fucked. I'm so happy you're not involved with the Steem Inc team.
I did said that I hate using bots(it was written in the post), but unfortunately, this is how the system work at least right now, and I did said that what you do is good just need to some modification to this method.
and you only saying thatYou're right 100% and you did absolutely the right thing and no flows and that I deserve that, and probably I not on trending because my content is not good.
(and not because I not paying to be there like all other that on the trending page)
you know what since you right 100% and everything you do have no flaws and it's all my fault, and I deserve not to be on the trending page
I worship you now my favorite steemanin i will now be your #1 follower I even Upvote this post, thank you for opening my eyes
it was me that doing this wrong all the time and not the system that has flaws

So with this logic, it's okay to play the system because it's broken and therefore everyone else has to play the system, making the system worse, more expensive and then whenever it gets too expensive for you, then what will you do? Sounds like you'd get a loan out because "well that's the system". Do you listen to yourself? I see arts.visuals there with no bots usage whatsoever but his quality content making it's way up. Wanna know why? We're downvoting the abusers.
Btw it's IRONIC that your use a gif of Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, when he has to operate in the rules of no steroid use in the UFC and to be fair and kind to others in the practise in Karate. He teaches his young athletes on discipline and playing by the book. Amazing how idiotic that has become xD.
Just to say, I'm not saying you're not good enough to be in trending. The blockchain is telling you that. You stated that you have never got to trending so I mean it's fair to say that with your logic, you must agree you are not good enough. Now you can make the argument that whales don't vote you and that's true but you play the game of probability and the laws state if your content is good enough, eventually it will be upvoted.
When you can't think of a good argument, attack the person! See you can't be patronising whenever you're deemed an idiot for trying to state your "good" works and not getting upvoted because of it. You tried to state you DESERVED to be upvoted because of your good content. News Alert,** Good content isn't Good enough**.
Now seeing as you understand you're wrongs, you'll understand that you should pay all of those earnings now or cancelling on all rewards or give them to a Steem Charity. It would be the right thing but..... I have the feeling you won't do that ^^.
Next time when you call someone out, talk to someone else first to make sure you're not doing something dumb.
