You Want Some Views?

I can get you some views.


Warning! This might be that comment that makes you shit your pants.


Welcome to another edition of:

Fuck This Shit Up the Ass

My name is @NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself and I'll be your host.

So you want to be successful on Steemit?

Don't worry, bro!

I got you covered!

Hooray!


Thank You!

Thank you!

You're too kind!

Anyway. I suppose I should actually start saying something now. Unfortunately, I'm too goddamn busy rambling on about nothing to be able to make a point.

You came to my comment here to learn about being awesome, like me, and finding success at being a blogger on Steemit.

We'll Get to That!

Eventually.

Right now, I need to tell you about how shitty my fucking day was.

Would you believe, I woke up today in a glistening puddle of my own piss?

It's True!

And now I'll teach YOU how.

So my fucked up post yesterday didn't do so well. I ended up getting drunk as fuck on my last gallon of bottom shelf vodka. You know the kind, right? It has a thick layer of dust on it. No fingerprints in sight because nobody touches that shit.

I think it's because most of these people are weak little assholes and don't know how to bend down far enough to get the good stuff. I mean, DAYUM! You can buy an entire barrel of this shit for a measly day's salary from your fucking job at McDonald's.

So what's stopping you!

Now, Where Was I?

Oh yeah!

Laying there in my piss like I just climbed out of the pool to win my first gold medal as a special olympian.

Those were the days though, let me tell you. I was the fastest swimmer on the team. People used to get so pissed off with me because they thought I was taking "performance enhancing drugs".

Bitch, Please.

This is Gatorade!

So yeah. If you want to be successful as a writer, like me, you have to act like me.

That means you have a shitty day, you pull yourself out of that puddle of piss that you still can't figure out how you got in and you get out there and you WIN!

Win Win Win!

If you want to win, like me, you just win!

Simple!

Well, look at the time.

Join me again tomorrow when I ramble on about nothing, again, and actually expect you to read my shit.

Say it with me!
Be like me. Be like me. Be like me. Be like me.

Hit that vote button,

Motherfucker!

Or I'll fuck my cousin!



So, how did I do Master @yallapapi? Did I learn good? Did I pass today's lesson? I hope so!


Disclaimer: This was just a joke. Satire. A parody. Some people actually think I'm a nice guy.


Update: So here I am, sitting near the top of the trending page with my amazing post. Am I doing it wrong? Why isn't anyone commenting on or voting for my work? Was I supposed to buy the votes? Would that have helped? I thought it would work if you bought the votes. It seemed like a better deal if you bought the votes. I feel so lonely now. Do you hear the sad violin song? I do. I'll admit it, I tried hard, but I was never good in school. They used to kick me out into the hallway so I could "think about what I did." I'm following your advice, I think. What sort of engagement were you looking for anyway? Good post? Random memes? I can tone it down I guess. I get excited. I thought this would be fun.

I know you didn't give 2 cents about my comment... so I only upvoted this dribble 2 cents!

IntroducingRichAtVNSwithsign.jpg

The reason why I followed you: Humour!!

This was just a random key smash. If it's actually funny, I'll take it. It didn't take long to write. Just rambling nonsense from the top of my head.

It was very funny, you should do this in your posts too.

I do, but with more effort.

that's great.

Nice. I got so bored I fell asleep, hit my head and now can't remember any of the post I presumably read to make it to the comments. At least, I think that's what happened. I've scribbled a note on the side of an empty Sauvignon blanc bottle. It reads: Dear God, when is this going to end? How many episodes of #sharkschool do I have to read before I get a Lambo and retire to live a philosophical life of the mind like Craig Grant?

Pre-concussion me sounds like a whiny and entitled asshole. Oh well, live and learn.

On a different note, how to you do the tiny font size in markdown? I've been looking for a way to do this for footnotes and sources - you know, for nerdy shit with actual facts and research and substance - (the kind of thing that will never make it to the trending page, mainly because I'm not one of those cool nerds who studied something super lucrative).

@samueldouglas
First of all: lmao :0)
I did think this was interesting, though, but not in the way he meant it to be. Like you’re into philosophy, I’m into psychology, and although this one is an easy one to analyze, still it is a funny one. ;0)

Then, on the small font size

Just put your text in between and
Lol, I should find out how to add code to comments. Another try: just remove the spaces I’ve put in front of and behind the word ‘sup’:
< sup > and </ sup >

Awesome!

Great!

I was thinking of starting my own series where I pick these posts apart and explain all of the mistakes. That would mean I'd have to spend more time reading this nonsense though. I'm not too keen on that idea. Also, I'd end up losing my readership because nobody really gives a shit.

At least these posts help prove the paid vote services don't work.

It's strange. Normally I'd like to help people. Maybe offer some advice or at least point them in the right direction, so, to anyone else reading:

  • Overexposure: This author is much like hearing the same song over and over on the radio. Everyone knows people eventually get sick of hearing that song to the point of actually hating it. Try to keep your posts fresh and entertaining.

  • Profanity only works in comedy: This guy isn't funny. His approach is much like listening to someone fly off the handle and have a public meltdown. Entertaining at first but slowly becomes so damn annoying that the police have to be called.

  • Insulting your audience only works in comedy: See above.

  • Bullshitting is an art form: Don't believe everything you read on the internet. This post is an advertisement. The author paid for this slot. Evidence of that can be found in his wallet here. He's basically acting like the ShamWow guy without a censor; and we all know what happened to him.

I wonder if Harry Frankfurt's (1986) take on bullshit is relevant here:

It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.

Harry Frankfurt reference just made my night. You have earned a follower.

Had you quoted Sidney Morganbesser, I would have probably purchased you a bride from Russia.

Hi. I am Mr. Helpful. It appears as if @samueldouglas sent his response to you, to me. Wow! So awkward.

This is what he said:

Thanks! To be honest, I can't believe it took me so long to think of Frankfurt. Thanks for not purchasing the bride - my wife and I appreciate it. Still, it's the thought that counts.

I read it and did not know what the hell he was talking about but you might know.

LOL!

Well I saw a show on the local television with a guy who looks like a girl that has four wives and like 29 children, and he says it’s because LDS Jesus said so.

So I was just following the rules and offering Mr. Douglas another wife, in addition to, rather than in lieu of, his current wife.

Like a Bedouin or a cultleader in a U.S. flyover State somewhere.

How much for a wife? Do you take STEEM?

Thanks! To be honest, I can't believe it took me so long to think of Frankfurt. Thanks for not purchasing the bride - my wife and I appreciate it. Still, it's the thought that counts.

Sounds about right.

I like it better when you commandeer. Way more random and completely off kilter.

I thought, after reading his lessons and insults, this was the type of engagement he was looking for, so I thought I'd play along. Maybe I should have just said, "Nice post."

This kind of writing the problem with it is that it's too try hard. Yes you can get attention with it but it's not sustainable when you constantly think that the only way of getting people to pay attention is to try to trigger them in every sentence.

But yes it's a little funny to read that but you could feel the needy energy in every line being written. You can feel that the core value that should be there is not there. And it's also living in scarcity. No matter how much money you make you are still living in scarcity.

Yes, his approach is unauthentic. He often says things like, "nobody else writes like him," and all this other nonsense. The reason for that is because he's doing it wrong.

Here's an old example of my work that doubles as an honest advertisement.

The engagement after the show highlights the difference when one takes this sort of approach and does it properly.

The two key elements missing here are: intentional humor and honesty. I also didn't cram this down anyone's throat by purchasing votes. It's all 100% organic.

Yeah, maybe that's what he was looking for. You should have known.

Another way to adjust text size is to use lots of ‘####’ until the text is as small or large as you like.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the post annoyingly lengthy.

You love hijacking my top comment don't you.

Says the guy...

Hijacking the trending page.

The fonts killed it!

He started powering down about five hours before making that comment, so maybe we won't be seeing as much of him in the future.

Maybe he just needs more money for votes. It's like crack cocaine. Once you start, you're finished!

Believe in yourself! You are the best! praise

this comment is not funny or entertaining, unlike the original post you attempted to parody.

That's fine. It was a parody. An exaggeration of what you think was funny. I didn't really find it funny either.
