RE: Bad news for NewSteem // @theycallmedan seems to be changing his position on Bidbots
I highly doubt dan capitulated to bid bots here, I'll talk to him when I get a chance to see what happened there but it's probably just a minor misunderstanding
With the possible exception of smooth, he's literally been hitting bid bots harder than anyone else with a large stake and I can't see him relenting any time soon
I saw an example of that with Smooth on Aggroed's post and your comment as well.
I'm glad that y'all have taken such a stance. It strikes me that some users who still use bots are perhaps afraid of failure.
They think oh maybe people won't value my contribution so thus I must bot it up. It's an immature sentiment. I am ok with failure.
Maybe it was because staked curator didn't really see my post or maybe I just suck and need to do better. Agg and others like him try to bypass that process of failure and growth.
But I guess maybe I'll getting too deep into philosophical motives. Anyways, glad to see you seem to be on the side of hope and not fear.

He said I removed a vote at the last second of a person I was reversing bot abuse for. It’s interesting because I didn’t do this, unless I was sleep curating. This is a case I need to investigate. But pretty 0-100 to think this one action means I changed my entire stance on bid bots. I downvoted well I to the red yest and will do so again today.

he definitely overreacted
he's sorta known for that and it's actually quite entertaining when you're not at the ass end of it most of the time lol
but yeah i'm trying to tell him there's no way dan would back off from this when the tide of war is going our way
Did you let him out?
Thats fair enough. Id like it ofc that he shares openly what happened since there are people quite interested as to why he made the conscious decision to pull his vote. This is a post that had a purpose and was targeted in a retaliatory manner. If one of the people thats positioned himself as one of the leaders in fighting abuse pulls the vote, that might demotivate people from fighting to retake the trending.
I know he has. That makes this even stranger and can lead to all kinds of conclusions and confusions.
my guess is he was just fucking around with a downvote bot or a trail or something and it messed up
it'd be something minor
he's not all of a sudden joining team booster lol
I talk to him sometimes, he didn't invest all that steem and is not building a video platform just to be undermined by dishonest voting which is what vote selling does
Well now. You don't beat around the bush do you! Haha
Yes, I completely agree with that being what it is.
hey how did you get off bernie's shit list btw?
I remember the days when scrolling down your page was met with more grey than seeing my grandma's pubes
I've never seen anyone make a semi successful career out of pissing off whales
even ones that are on their side like dan LOL
lol. Well he threatened that he will downvote my gf @silentscreamer that at the time was well voted and was making a music video that mariusfebruary gave us 500 SBD for and in which i dumped couple hundred USD in as well, that was supposed to promote STEEM and quality Steem content, at the end of the video.
She got around 2000 views organically on facebook and youtube across 2 accounts.
So i decided to shut up, take a blow to the ego haha so she doesnt get hurt for my big mouth. :D
hahaha
He has a volatile temper but does (or at least did) care about this platform and can be quite a generous person.
And yeah while he can be really harsh, he does eventually let people out of his rape dungeon if they stop pissing him off for a while. He doesn't just choke them to death for eternity.
I actually wish he was fighting for honest curation now that we have the economic tools, but I think lately he's given up on this place and just butts heads with a few trolls to pass the time.
Hopefully he'll come around soon.
Oh and you should probably edit your previous reply so the other whales you've been pissing off lately don't attack innocent people :)
Nah, shes taking a break right now from content since its just not worth the time for her so a flag wont really bother her anymore.
Ive sent hundreds of transactions back and forth between the two accounts so its obvious to find the connection which used to be a problem, but ever since she stopped posting frequently i can run my mouth as much as i want. :D
Well, what a wonderful treat for us all
A lovely annotation for me to mull over just before I crash.. heh..
