RE: The Future of the Eurozone Could Be Decided on December 4th in Austria and Italy
@dollarvigilante, at what point are you going to actually start engaging with the community rather than just posting and sucking up rewards?
I downvoted this post for the reason mentioned above. I doubt this will even be seen by @dollarvigilante until he tries to figure out why his rewards are so low.
I agree. I believe this is posted by one of those services that autoposts and then votes with a trail to milk rewards. I could be wrong, but it looks that way to me.
I think its time the community start rewarding actual engagement and not just blog content.
@berniesanders @smooth it's good to see this. One question though: where the hell were you months ago? I mean seriously, were you sleeping? Did you just not give a crap until STEEM fell to less than 25 cents. Good for you, bravo for finally noticing. Too bad it's about four months too late. Ridiculous.
Actually for a while TDV was directly involved. He was engaging with the Steemit community and his followers were joining Steemit and participating in the discussions here. None of that is the case any longer, which is why I no longer support what has become autopilot milking.
To his credit @berniesanders was skeptical of TDV earlier than I was.
Amen. Also disappointing to note that people only seem to care about what he does to Steemit directly and are happy to ignore how he posts advertisements here that lure people into his scams elsewhere. I told my own story about being lured into his bogus real estate racket and also warned people about his passport scam. @stellabelle even found a passport scam victim to record his own testimony and even after all that, whales continued to vote his reputation up into the clouds. When people warn of a predator, the rational thing for a community to do is investigate the warning and then repel the predator if one is indeed discovered. This didn't happen so it's very hard for me to think of Steemit as a real community at all.
One thing worth considering. MOST celebrities will not have time to engage on steemit to a large degree. They will likely tend to focus the most on where most of their income comes from. Yet our goal should be to inclusive, not attack people due to them not posting/acting the way we want... Just with hold your vote. You guys are powerful enough that your up votes can be very motivational.
Yet negative news tends to spread faster than positive news. It is not likely to be good for the platform to attack people with audiences outside of steemit so instead of them saying positive things they start saying negative things.
Until recently this person being attacked was BUYING steem and powering up. They are now powering down. I don't know if that is due to the hard fork, or finally throwing in the towel to the attacks... no clue.
Yet we also have people that buy STEEM, power up and don't do a damn thing on the platform. They are hard for you to attack because they don't post anything to attack.
People like you can be very motivational. It is appreciated and that ripples, yet the negative ripples can reverse the impact that a lot of positive ripples may have had. People seem to soak up bad news, and only half ass pay attention to good news.
You do have a point. Kind of hit and run... fire and forget missile. Robotic fishing pole.
