Steem is no longer decentralised and may steal your funds. Use Hive instead.

This makes complete sense and you're talking here about a solution that serves the Steemit community. Though, I'm brand new on this platform and my age is just 1 day, yet I'm loving this platform far more than the giant social media that never paid me a single dime. So, I would keep and supporting any efforts by people like you that are keeping an eye on the abusers and also know how to deal with them. This is my very first comment on your posts and I'm your 3836th follower. Great job @steevc. Shared this post with a small fanbase of mine.
I see you have been using minnowbooster. I don't blame you really, but I hope you use your account for good. Steemit is like the wild west. There are people just trying to make a living, cattle barons making a mint and bandits too. Maybe some of us should be sheriffs, but there's no central authority to support us. You can help by supporting those you think are doing good. Your vote is not worth much, but you opinion is valued.
I had only 3 SP, if I had not got SP on lease from Minnowbooster, I would have been suffering from bandwidth problem. If there is any better option, please guide me. I'm learning. I had to buy this account through Blocktrades because I was unable to create a new account ever after trying for 15 days in a row. @ugetfunded helped me buy this account and he's sort of adopted me. Really helping hand.
I'm not sure what it's like for new users now as it's all changed a lot since I joined. That's good if you have a mentor. Just keep building your account with good posts and comments. Some try to do it with spam, but that won't get them far.
I got 25 SP on rent/lease for 2 weeks and my plan is to earn at least 13 SP so that when I give this rented SP back, I won't have to suffer from Steemit bandwidth issue. I'm here for long term and want to make Steemit my career. I hate spam and in the company of your experienced Steemians, I hope not to commit such mistakes. I'd also like to see if there are some contests that delegate SP, may be you know any of such contests...not sure...if yes, please do share. I really appreciate your kind words. That means a lot to me. Have a great day!
I don't know of contests that delegate. They tend to give away SBD. Give your vote to those who need it. It's still not worth much anyway. Commenting can really pay if you engage as you have here.
I tried using a bot on one post when I first heard about them. And I found that their use did nothing for my post. I actually lost half my SBD using them. I did this only to see how they worked as many were raving about their use. They are a waste of SBD.
Sorry to hear that. I think people find them tempting, but it's better to build a real following
I agree. To me it is more about building the relationship with others than it is to try to pay your way to the trending area. When I first started I looked at trending a lot just so i could get an idea on what works. What I found was that many were there because they used the bots. I have since stopped looking there and payed more attention to content that I am interested in. I am finding this to me more fun and in turn building a community.
I don't understand that..
I don't even understand the usage of bots..
I think it undermines the value of steemit.
It completely contradicts what steemit is supposed to represent
What don't you understand? If there's demand for a service then people will provide it. Abuse of these 'bots' is bad for Steemit
Shouldn't the whales of steemit take action and flag the shit out of them
It seems they have mostly chosen not to although grumpycat is taking some action
While I agree with your views on the lack of control of the reward pool on steemit. This was recognised and explained in detail in the white paper.
And the methods to deal with it.
The crab bucket scenario
The example you chose (that cat) is lining its pocket at the same time as masquerading as the saviour. Taking out $11,000 a day? Take a look at what that account is really doing. Follow the money on steemitworld.
Transparency works.
We need a more open dialogue without fear of retaliation from bad actors. It's difficult but not impossible to fix. As you suggested above. You have my support.
Your solution sounds doable but will need a lot of steempower. Well over a million?
Money can silence anything it seems
Yaa this thing kills even i as a minnow when i upload post ,my post becomes visible only to 5-6 persons.....i mean even if i upload post with good content ....i think this is the disadvantage of steemit ...minnows always suffer...
It takes time and work to build up a following. I believe that is still possible. It took me months to make anything much here. Work with people who share your interests
That is fine ...but this visibility thing.....does it mean i shouldnt post anything till i grow following....
No, but don't use up too much good material early on. You can only gain from the votes in the first 7 days. Save some for when you have more followers. You need something there to give them a reason to follow
Hey men great vlog.
You have also some hens in your house.
Pretty good to watch it.
Are you also an animal lover??
I like animals enough to not eat them
Same too
Oops my bad! Found another video of you.
I almost missed that. Forgive me @steevc
how people manage to buy 100$ worth votes, we have not such amount
In some cases they buy some SBD on Blocktrades. That is an investment in the platform I guess. It's all visible in their history
so I must say that here some people are getting huge rewards , nothing for those who are new here
This is why we need action. If the top rewards go down then there's more for everyone else.
taking votes of 10$ to 20$ is ok , but exceeding is bad
I support you dear in this matter
Some of it is just greed. It's about good content and only others can decide on that
dealing with what it means .. i also have a loss with the name SBD, I do not get paid after donating to someone, this is proof
@steevc
You have to resolve that with them
how to do? .. where can we report?
There is no overall authority. If you can't resolve it with that person then maybe you have to write it off. It's not a huge amount. Just have to be careful who you trust
Oooops my bad! Found another video of you.
I guess i almost missed this.
