I am not saying that autoupvotes are good or bad but I just realised a lot of big content creators who were making over $100 in few minutes are making now less than $50 in some hours.


Streemian.com is down and we can see now a big difference in upvotes. I am waiting for @penguinpablo statistic post to see upvotes chart tomorrow.

What is your opinion about these autoupvotes? I think that has advantages but also disadvantages for the entire community.

More discussion about this topic going on in this users post as well https://steemit.com/steemit/@krnel/steemit-rise-of-the-autovote-an-autovote-majority

It is interesting to see how things change when the bot is down, I love it

Yes, thank you!

Just had to throw this in here haha

Haha, that s true 😂

I'm still really new to Steemit and how this all works. I've made two different comments on posts that had 9 invites before i could even refresh the page. I don't know if that's autoupvotes or what but it's very strange to me, seeing as how my regular posts don't get much at all. I just need to look more into all of this I think.

Auto upvotes SB banned . IMHO of course . Unless it's a disability software issue or something like that .

What do you mean with it is down? Shut down? So no more autovotes?

streemian.com is down so no more autoupvote till will be back.

Manual upvotes are always enabled!

And do we know when it is coming back?

I don't know, but probably it will be back 100%

Why did it go down?

I don't know..maybe technical stuffs

I don't even know what is it.

streemian.com is a website where you can add the people you want to upvote and when after they are posting.

Well that is definately bad.

welcome to Steemit man!

Anything we can do about it?

Just Steemit as you have and try to ignore when people are using bots to make quick money, be strong!

If we ignore it will continue, must be other way to stop it.

that s why I LOVE STEEMIT... we are free to do what we want, we can't be stopped..even downvotes only affect reputation...

As the ratio of high earners is very small compared to the numbers in the community you will see these high earners repeatedly on the trending page - I think if a certain amount of steem is obtained and you have earnt it or maybe invested then you should be able to upvote yourself however I think there should be a cap on the percentage - for example 100% of my upvote is 1 cent if 100% of my upvote was $100 at 100% I think it should be capped for personal use,. ie if your content is good it will get the votes anyway - so maybe allow 75% and as there steem power increases again take the percentage down, to be more fair to the whole community - I can see both sides and there is no real solution that I can put forward but this is an idea I have about it - otherwise it is just a total abuse of the system

It would be easier if minnows wouldn't try to chase the Curation award by attempting to upvote a Dolphin/Orca/Whale at the right time. Some of the big fish do provide good articles, but some others just seem to throw out basic stuff and everyone upvotes them no matter what is posted.

yes. true..but anyway, this is a social media right? we can upvote(like)what each of us want...

Oh... no disagreement there.
But, when a big fish writes a post telling you when his bots will upvote his post and that post gets a bunch of upvotes, I think there is something wrong with the system.

I've tried the curation thing, timing the upvote, but it just pays more to write an article and get a few upvotes of your own, than to chase a big fish whose Steem POWER will out weigh your own by a large multiplier.

As a minnow though looking for advice reading watching videos etc - some actually do suggest to chase the whales - I say make you own community from this platform and be your own Whale but it will just take time like anything else in life, I think unfortunately some peoples enthusiasm can be misconstrued for - come to steemit and like me make $150 a day - what they don't tell you is they brought £20,000 plus or whatever of Steem - lol madness paying to get to the top -

If you chase whales, then you should comment on their post and provide a discussion. That way, the whale will take notice of you. What I am talking about, are those who just upvote the whale, knowing the post will go to $100 or higher, in hopes that they will get a good curation cut.

But, if you comment on the whale post and the whale finds your comments interesting, then you might get one or more of them to upvote YOUR post. Then you have a $100 upvoted post, instead of a $.001 curation payout.

get rid of the fakes !?

I agree! But if content is good I can not avoid upvoting it

No disagreement there. If it is good content, then it should be upvoted.

yup, wish you a great day! thanks for your comments!

If my content is good it won't get upvotes anyway... maybe they will get upvotes from minnows and very few whales but the most of the people upvote posts which know will become popular...the same authors each time, that s why they are on the trending page.

roughly about 50 people have 80% of the steem power - I was told that this is currently a very primitive version of Facebook and until the creases are ironed out it is what it is - to be fair we should be happy we get any payment at all - so many platforms take but don't give back so its a start in the right direction - the authors are consistent - and some have been hear since its inception - so yes it is what it is

you are right! I am happy and thankful! and I am trying to be consistent. Steemit is still in beta, many more changes will come!

Interesting Post, Thanks.

I thank you so much for your support!

My Pleasure.

So much new information can be found in such moments!

yup!

It's good to see the human viral content! The bots do get old for sure! I always have mixed emotions about bots, though.

bots are bad.

mhm...

Sheesh! Ive been doing it all wrong! Trying to get people to like my posts, should be concentrating on bot love. Lol!

Thanks for the info! :)

lol, do what you feel man!

Yes you are right at it bro this autoupvotes must be stopped

yes, but this can also be helpful if someone haven t time to spend on Steemit...
