RE: Is Self Voting The Reason Why Growth On Steemit Is Almost Unreachable?
i agree totally , i was even reprimanded and voted down by a dolphin or what ever for up voting a minnow, and asking if he would do the same for me , i have posted quite a few good posts and am still on $10 , i have gone no where and am loosing interest fast , you have to buy in to get anywhere on here and you have to get in the top club , with their mutual voting , i feel a bit like window dressing helping to maintain some sort of illusion while the big players line their pockets and tell you just stay in their
Man, I feel your pain. I really LUCKED out early in my career here. I still dont get a lot of votes or anything, but I did participate in one of the contests here and won 10 Steem Dollars for my effort here. I would recommend you try to get into one of these contests to earn more points.
thats really makes a difference , but you shouldn't need to win a contest to get ahead , not all are as talented as you , im just an average person trying my best to be slightly interesting , and finding the whole experience slightly disheartening , but ive sort of accepted i wont earn much on here , and just enjoy posting the odd thing here and there
Damn dude, that sucks. Some of the dolphins and whales on here do act like bullies sometimes
i know they really ganged up on me due to my minnow back scratch post , which was tongue in cheek , and a bit rich coming from a group who all vote up each others post with 100% regardless of quality .
i have made a few posts on this issue but they didnt really go any where

these were all done as comedy but with a serious point , please dont be offended
Don't lose heart @toneyboney! Please, join us on the non-self voter promoter initiative. There are plans to eventually create a new front end devoid of self-voting where content is visibly based on the merit perceived from others rather than self-bias. Together, we can make a better Steemit. I applaud @alex-icey for addressing this highly contentious topic!
thats good to know i would like to be involved ,
"The poor stay poor, the rich get rich" The way things are now. Yup
There are a few ways to join this movement. There is a brand spanking new Trump3t curation trail on Streemian for one. A how-to guide will be created soon.
Secondly, you can follow the blog and support the featured posts which are identified using Python Scripting. I regularly query "hot" posts so it could be a easy way to earn some curation rewards as well.
I try to create one post daily and promote via a daily SBD transfer. For more details, feel free to check out my latest post. Thanks for the interest!
