Blind Loyalty Is Not Ignorance, It's Boarder-line Stupidity Corrupting the (steemit) System.

"And Smell My Fingers"


for the spammy-self-upvote-of-the-day, by none other than @craig-grant.



Proof IS in the pudding (TOO MANY eating it with their eyes closed).


If you believe this practice is only not abusive yet also not a detriment to the steemit system, then you are probably a part of the problem (and deserve Craig's "friendship").

and smell my theory

Good catch!

When combined with inappropriate flagging (high value accounts flagging content for the sole purpose of returning rewards to the pool), it can be very disruptive to all Red Fish/Minnow accounts as a whole (but hey, I'm crazy and have no idea how to read and interpret AND believe everything stated in the "White Papers").
I appreciate your words of encouragement @freebornangel.

Well, I was shadow banned, and have some butt hurt over it,,...stinkin' curie was straight up about my content not passing muster, and then wanted to sing about free speech, luckily I didn't get too caught up in the flag wars.

Still can't get a whale vote for nothing,...

If I may offer a suggestion? I am finding that using @promoted

seems to be a very useful tool (for one's own account and for promoting others' content if one feels strongly about positive curation and promotion for such content). Not only does it have the benefit of "burning money" within the blockchain yet also offers a fairly nice upvote from @promoted reflective on how many SDB one pays to promote (that can assist a post to hold value should others see it, agree with it, and interact with it as well).
Hope you find this info useful, and am happy to see you must have recovered quite nicely (nobody likes a quitter ;) ).

I've got a drum to beat, if I was popular I would have to find something else to do,...

I've thought about that @promoted, but I got a move coming and need to save money,...

I once promoted a post that was identical to another's that they had promoted just to see if it would help, but no, it did not.
So, I went back to beating my drum hoping to reach at least a few people.
