RE: Quick Thought on Steemit Catfish
Hi @Dan, Yesterday I exposed a conartist that made about $1000 with fraudulent posts: namely @ricegum here is my post detailing the exposure:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@earnest/community-curation-and-exposing-conartists-in-steemit-the-case-of-ricegum
Also, on that same note, today I found a fraudulent post that @dantheman upvoted to the tune of $1600
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@jesika/i-was-raped-on-my-wedding-night
Again, same pattern. Here is the source (@benslayton found it):
https://www.quora.com/How-does-it-feel-to-have-sex-with-your-spouse-on-your-wedding-night-when-he-she-is-a-stranger
Story modified here and there to be bot-detection proof.
Let me know if you value my work. Thanks.
The more likely outcome will be someone will write an article on how you did all of this and Dan and others will upvote that article (instead of yours outlining your own work) to the tune of $5,000+. I say this from experience. ;)
Will they write an article about Earnest harassing people, too?
Lauralemons' experience with Earnest
I think this is a matter of approach. If @earnest softened his approach to people a little bit it might help and not look that way.
@earnest you do not deserve a pat on the back. You wouldn't have even caught that if you weren't looking for women to harass. You've driven a valued poster off of the site and caused a great deal of emotional distress. I speak for many when I say your contribution to the site is not valued. At all.
Apparently you do not speak for many, my last post has 45 upvotes and 2 downvotes, one of them is yours, I assume for ideological reasons.
My work has subjective value to many people on steemit and I dont think anything you say would change that.
In addition, I support and upvote the content of many women here,
its just that, unlike you, I dont support conartists that attempt to gain sympathy, attention, petty, recognition and money by pretending to be victims.
I'm very sorry that to those accustomed to privilege,
equality feels like oppression. Have a nice day.
@earnest - I'm sorry I was previously skeptical of your work. I've been reading a lot from others about the work you have done - so my apologies I was wrong. We need people like you to help weed out fraud. I hope you get more recognition.
No problem, thank you.
