RE: The Sunday Purge #4: The Issue With Self-Voting / Shitposters - Circlejerking - Collusion
Currently with self voting you can double your SteemPower in just 180 days (aprox) when you have more than 100 dollars worth of SteemPower. Jerry went over the numbers and used it in his video as a tip on how to get rich on steem. But indeed it is damaging for the core of Steemit, the social platform build upon the blockchain. You get posters that basically copy paste an article from somewhere else, upvote it and don't even glance at the comment section.
Jerry knows nothing. He's just a marketer trying to make a buck on Steem.
Yes I am shure, but his tactics on how to exploit the platform work most of the time. He mainly adresses inverstors, but these are the people that wanna see their investment getting worth something. I am starting with nothing and frankly, just for fun. And basically stay because of the long term possibilities this platform has to offer.
He doesn't seem to have the right mentality. Investors are making a shitload of money from the platform anyway; they don't need to exploit it. If you're thinking about it, we're all more or less, investors since we all have some SP and some time spent here.
You got it right, post for yourself, for fun and didn't expect anything. If you have expectations and they are not met, you will feel it like a failure. Do it because you like to do it. ;)
I think Jerry Banfield has some form of autism - that's not meant as a criticism - it's just the obsessive way he seems to have invested his entire 'self' in steemit and nothing else. I unfollowed him recently - he does my head in!
you used the correct term in regards to banfield.. exploit.. exactly what is not needed in a witness. Which is why I will never give him a witness vote.
