Viewing a response to: @whatsup/re-meno-re-fyrstikken-bidbots-they-do-not-drain-the-steem-rewardpool-20180602t232621824z
It was a very wise choice of yours not to debate me if you believe - on any level whatsoever - that any three of those points have any legitimacy in this context. I don't think you need me to tell you why they are entirely nonsensical, but for any readers who are buying this bullshit, allow me to briefly explain; > Applause! What right does someone have to tell a stakeholder what to do with their stake? (none) If @ned posted speaking of his desire to use steem funds to hire assassins to murder every first born child in the city of shanghai- would you feel that you have the right to object to that? You should, because what he would be attempting to use his stake for is immoral and has adverse consequences for many. As does vote selling. > How dare someone decide who can purchase a product that is for sale? If someone tried to sell you a recently snatched toddler, who the fuck are you to dare decide whether that person should be able to sell that child or not? > The product is the Voting Power which is derived from the stake. No. The product is the stake(and also the content). The voting power is a function of the stake, and therefore it is simply a use of the product. Just as murder is one potential (but not ideal) use of a gun (product) so too is the selling of votes an adverse use of the stake (product). To any who are still not clear on this. The daily reward pool (not voting power) is what is really the issue here. The reward pool is - funnily enough - for distributing rewards. Are rewards something that you sell? No. That would be a purchase. Therefore, the reward pool is for rewarding. The voting power in this example works as the fruit of the trees does. It is a finite - yet self perpetuating - resource, that was intended for those in the world to use as sustenance. In terms of Steemit, it was intended to reward both the best content creators, and the best curators, to keep them coming back. The trees, however, have now been seized, and now the fruit that everyone was using to sustain their selves is for sale. The reward pool is being auctioned off, and there's no selling that as acceptable from my perspective. Not after reading some of the pro-bidbot arguments on this post. I realise now that you're all either lying very blatantly to everyone else, or lying unwittingly to yourselves. To anyone reading this who has been on Steemit for a while and made 10,000+ STEEM, and haven't had to sell any of it to survive, so you still have it all, and can sell it when steem goes to $100... Let me ask you something; #### How much fucking money do you have to earn before you can afford to buy a spine? You have made plenty. You can't have it stolen from you now. A flag doesn't impact your wallet. So why the fuck do you still have your tongue up someone's arse when you've got more than enough money to live on your feet? Seriously, think about what the fuck you are doing. They might have gammafied the site in order to pit us against one another, but this is not a fucking game, and the "losers" in this very real situation, they starve. So perhaps we ought to start trying to be on the same fucking team.

That is the strangest invite to a team I have ever received. First, I have received about 9 or 10 votes from Fyrst after nearly 2 years of hanging on in SteemSpeak and I assure you my tongue is not near anyone's ass. :) lol. Now that we are clear on that... If Ned made a post about killing someone, if I took it seriously I would call the authorities. I would not buy a toddler. As for the rest of your opinion on what and how the economics work out it is an experiment and I want to see us attract investors. I stand by my view that if investors come it will not be for the content or a perfectly functioning reward system. It will be for the tech, the traffic or the crypto. There are hundreds of sites that people can share their writing. Most of them do not have investors. When I trade with someone in cash or in crypto their financial status has nothing to do with the deal. The deal is about a product if I buy milk, I do not pay based on the financial status of the seller, I pay based on the price of milk. I'm not sure what my financial status has to do with anything or what brings on the personal attack portion of your comment. You have no idea what it has or hasn't cost me to keep my stake powered up.

>As for the rest of your opinion on what and how the economics work out it is an experiment and I want to see us attract investors. It's neither opinion nor about how economics work out, whatever that nonsensical assertion was meant to say. He was talking about the function of the reward pool being turned on its head and being no longer a Reward pool but a product. What's the experiment? The one without any control or hypothesis and the one that nobody knows anything about, the nameless experiment of "attracting investors"? Is this a multilevel marketing scam? Did you end up here simply to make money regardless of why and what the function you condone abuses what it was created for? Wait, I'm attempting to drag the conversation back into the realm of what money cannot buy, or a community, let's discuss what will get us to the moon for a moment before the bubble bursts and people are left in ruin because you think people throwing money at the system is the reason we're all here. Heck Steem was created to get investors. > I stand by my view that if investors come it will not be for the content or a perfectly functioning reward system. It will be for the tech, the traffic or the crypto. So the tech doesn't include content or a properly functioning system, rewards and all and you're OK with people speculating with Steem, because crypto. Because Steem is for investors. >There are hundreds of sites that people can share their writing. Most of them do not have investors. Ergo Steem was created for investment. Brilliant deduction, the grand nameless experiment provides. As for the accusations that you were attacked, you deserve an apology, or it simply befuddles you that your financial situation might be why you're so vocal about "it's your stake do whatever you want with it" and equally "Steem is for investors, who are looking for a quick pump or "tech" and here's another less vacuous label that conveniently is wide open to interpretation to mean anything and everything CRYPTO" yet we were talking about the lack of a functional curation (promotion? **Hell yeah, it's your stake, hashtag-voturbation for life) system and soon enough we are going to discuss a functional moderation system that's both decentralized and redundant proof, or STABLE and SENSIBLY IMPLEMENTED. The attack you perceive now will be far less interpretive than now, and we will have a way to put your mouth up to the light of scrutiny next time you try to spread Bullshit, ain't anyone wasting their votes, they will stake their very name, account and stake behind that Bullshit and the cost will be so big that a mass exodus will take place and from that day forward we will forget all this circular motion "adjusting" what we know won't work, instead of allowing for you and your accusations of attack to have a redress as simple as a button that actually flags and isn't only a downvote to those that know what's at stake.

I have just read my own reply before reading yours in order to refresh my memory of what's been said here so far. I should say that the tone of my comment could have been improved upon, but in truth I did not expect a response, and so I didn't think to make the effort to uphold myself in the manner in which I typically would when debating a serious issue. With that said, it does seem as though you have misinterpreted the overwhelming majority of my comment, for as I said, I didn't expect a response from you, and so my comment was for those who I expected to read it, not for you. I don't know what your relationship with fyrstikken is, nor do I consider it relevant in this context. If that was in response to the bold comment at the end, again that was not aimed directly at you. That was a comment to those dolphins who have already made a lot for keeping their mouths shut on the abuse we all know they've witnessed, for I believe it is time for some influential members of the community to start speaking out against abusers instead of continuously advocating for their increasingly despicable behaviour by remaining silent. But again, this was merely an opportunity I seized to say something that's been on my mind. It's not tied specifically to vote-selling and so if you want to speak on the comment in bold at the end, then we can discuss that in a separate thread. But for now, let me address the points that I do feel matter. > If Ned made a post about killing someone, if I took it seriously I would call the authorities. Though you haven't said it in this sentence, I am going to presume that you mean "with Steemit funds" as that is the question that was posed. It sounds to me that you then already agree with me that if someone wants to use their stake for illicit purposes, then others have not only the right but the obligation to intervene. > I would not buy a toddler. This doesn't really answer the inferred question. I used a child as an extreme example to make the point that because something is for sale does not mean it ought to be. Is this something you would also agree with? > As for the rest of your opinion on what and how the economics work out it is an experiment and I want to see us attract investors. I stand by my view that if investors come it will not be for the content or a perfectly functioning reward system. It will be for the tech, the traffic or the crypto. There are hundreds of sites that people can share their writing. Most of them do not have investors. It is an experiment indeed, for we've been told that they're attempting to try something new here. If we are going to do everything exactly the same as it is done in the world beyond the blockchain; then why refer to it as an experiment at all? I would argue that attracting investors ought not to be a priority. There is enough value in this ecosystem already. But, to better respond to this point I will pretend for a moment that I do think attracting investors ought to be a priority right now. If that's the case, then the type of investors we attract is of the utmost importance, for they are typically going to be more influential than the thousands of minnows who simply sign up and attempt to earn their stakes. If you create an environment where vote-selling is an acceptable practice, then you are going to draw in investors who are comfortable with that. This means that if a lot of the most powerful members of the STEEM ecosystem are making the bulk of their profits through the selling of votes, then Steemit and STEEM will evolve in such a way as to accommodate and facilitate the practice- rather than evolving around the more appropriate notion of fairness. If however, we embraced this an experiment, and remembered that the reason we needed this experiment was because the old way was not working very well for most, then we might not so quickly justify abuse by pointing out the window and saying, "look, they've always done this." It happens in the real world is not a legitimate justification to permit abusive behaviour within an experimental economy that purports itself to be striving for better. One seriously needs to consider the mindset of a whale who would sell votes on this platform. We are talking about people who already have so much influence on this platform they could make more than dolphins make through posting simply by upvoting content. Curation rewards exist after all to incentivize fair voting. But these whales are willing to continue cashing in on the curation rewards they are paid to make sure that all deserving get to eat, and are now getting the poorest of us to send them money just for an upvote that they're paid to hand out for free anyway? This is deeply immoral, because one can never know exactly how many mouths will not be fed because of the actions they have taken- very unnecessary actions if you consider the ease of earning more STEEM for whales. It doesn't take much in the way of reflection to ascertain that this greed comes from a place of fear. We are all humans, and so we need only look inside ourselves to learn why others do the things they do. It is clear to me that whether it be fear of not having enough, fear of looking weaker than other whales, or fear of being less influential and therefore having to rely on their personality, it is most definitely fear that leads to greed. So do we need people whose entire agendas are dictated by fear to be the most powerful within the community? Where would that get us? - hint; look out the window. Fear aside, how about the fact that by selling votes, these whales of reversed the distribution of STEEM on the network. It is now being concentrated within the wallets of a few(though they may have many wallets), and so each time any person buys a vote, we are making a member of the community who cares only about their own prosperity- and who is willing to impoverish others to get it - more powerful. That's a dangerous road that leads to future where a few megawhales have complete control over how the reward pool is distributed. If even that is not enough; then what about the dangers of vote-selling to not just minnows who are unwilling to buy votes- but to every single holder of STEEM. I refer to the obvious truth that this platform became a pyramid scheme the moment we allowed vote-selling to thrive. New users come here and send their money up the ladder to those who already have the most. It should not take a mathematician to see that this leads only to a few unfathomably wealthy people, and countless poor ones. (That is, if it doesn't get brought down like bitconnect in light of this vote selling fiasco) > There are hundreds of sites that people can share their writing. Most of them do not have investors. As you said, this is not a site like any other. This is an experiment. The supposed purpose of that experiment is to do things better than they were done before - to do things *fairer.* That was the chief selling point when I joined, and we have done a horrible job of living up to it. Vote selling perpetuates inequity, and more than that, it makes members of the community who care little about the community, the most powerful ones in the community. Why would anyone want that? > When I trade with someone in cash or in crypto their financial status has nothing to do with the deal. This is not true. The wealthiest of us always pay the least for things, if they pay at all. > The deal is about a product if I buy milk, I do not pay based on the financial status of the seller, I pay based on the price of milk. Again, untrue. The financial status of the seller is undoubtedly a primary factor dictating the price of the milk. But, let's stop talking about milk and trading. This does not matter. Let's stop using the outside world to justify what goes on within this new, experimental ecosystem. Let's instead just ask a few simple questions; What is the purpose of curation rewards? Should whales be receiving them for selling votes? If we are to get rid of one; curation rewards or vote-selling; which should we get rid of? - I hope you don't mind but I'm going to ignore your last two questions because as I explained, they aren't within the context of the debate.

Haha, Are you going to define the debate as we go! I appreciate the change in tone and let me back up a bit: I didn't agree to a debate, in fact, I didn't know what you were referencing at all. Debate class was a long time ago. In addition, I have nothing to prove here. If you want to discuss bidding bots with me or understand why I feel they are good for the economy, I willing to discuss it with you I would rather do it from seeking a point of understand and maybe some things we can agree on. Your concern and care for people and the platform shine through and although we have very different ideas on how to get there, I bet we want a lot of the same things. I bet we also see a lot of things differently. I wonder if our disagreement starts at how we view Steem. I get the impression you see it as a tool to spread wealth to the world and feed the poor. I don't see it that way, although I totally see that it could have an impact on poverty and that makes me happy. Let's just have a conversation: If you want to just debate with someone, I saw drpuffnstuff offered and I think he would be great.

Im here to tell you that whatsup had no problem defending abusive flagging and abusive self voting htooms which when he first came on the scene was posting on a strange correlation, when Fyrst would be on the network commenting, resteeming and voting htooms would be off, but when htooms would be commenting, resteeming and voting (organically by different percentage votes) Fyrst would be absent, and this was like clockwork for 4 days, not once did their interactions overlap but there were about a dozen cycles of this weird coincidence. Whatsup has no backbone because things that are toxic for the community such as abuse is simply "the code allows it", it's the equivalent of saying, "it's OK he murdered them, physics allow it". Go read her opinion post where she accused me of attacking her and she said "I'll say whatever I want" when I told her she can't make up shit about me, and when I confronted her previously about her lack of any interest (care) in discussing the ideas by the dismal presentation she used for them she said that she'll keep doing that disservice, probably because she cares so much.

Look, I understand that you and I disagree. I'm just not sure why you are so bothered by my opinion. Anyway, feel free to comment on all of my posts, while saying nasty things about me. In all the times we have disagreed, I have never attacked your character or anything about YOU at all. I just disagree with your view.

I don't care for your approval of what I can and can't say about you, I'm not making shit up like you did and if it's not true don't know why you're calling it nasty instead, other than to say it's not true in a backhanded way, because you know what nasty things are? what you advocated, and that's fucking nasty indeed. You don't have to bother with why I'm so bothered by your opinions, it's gonna make your head hurts, trying to actually form a spine to prop your head onto so you can hold the vantage that I see, you're welcome to be sure of it though anytime, simply start making correct judgements and holding an integrity in that, maybe then you'll actually start putting two seconds of consideration behind what you right now respond to as "you're attacking me", maybe you can then think clearly enough to defend your ideas with integrity, and don't fall back onto "it's my opinion " as if I or anyone have to respect opinions that are neither morally right nor logically consistent, or would you rather I encourage people in such wrongs, not to make your head hurt.

> To any who are still not clear on this. The daily reward pool (not voting power) is what is really the issue here. The reward pool is - funnily enough - for distributing rewards. Are rewards something that you sell? No. That would be a purchase. Therefore, the reward pool is for rewarding. That pretty much sums it up. Certain people have repurposed the reward pool to enrich themselves instead of rewarding others for contributing. That is what it is but they often use the irredeemably flawed analogy as if vote selling were merely a means of promotion or advertisement. If it really were about advertisement, I have a recommendation to any vote buyer (this came to mind thanks to @freebornangel). It's quite simple. Decline rewards.

The reward pool is being auctioned off by the people who actually have the large stake in the network, whether its their own stake or they convinced others to DELEGATE them their stake, it is the stake holder decision to do what they want. If you disagree with how a stake holder is controlling the reward pool distribution (selling upvotes) you can flag all of the posts they are distributing rewards to and put it back in the reward pool. If you don't have enough SP to put a dent in and you really care, either acquire more SP or convince others to DELEGATE you theirs.

**If someone made a post on Steemit tomorrow stating that they were looking for the funds needed to buy a gun so that they could shoot up a school. And if that post was upvoted by the steemit inc account, would you have a problem with this?** I would have a problem with it, and that's why I have a problem with this too. They are both immoral and could quite potentially result in the loss of life. I believe I once put it this way; Buying a vote from a bidbot is like paying for your rapist's penis enlargement surgery. With every purchase they get more powerful, and can fuck you that much harder, that much easier. We are making people who have no regard for creators in the community the most influential people in the community. As I said to someone a moment ago; they advertised this place as somewhere you could earn money through creating content, not somewhere where you could pay someone to give you money. Do you not see the entire content aspect of the platform has been rendedered redundant by these bots????????????????????????????????????

lol ok son of satire, that extreme case just furthers my point that theres a solution to all of your problems. To answer your question: "if that post was upvoted by the steemit inc account, would you have a problem with this?" No I do not have any problem with this, I think they could probably get a gun either way. But if YOU have a problem with it, then you can either power up SP and downvote Steemit INC to stop his flow of "funds" or you could just get a higher power involved like your government. Your second question: "Do you not see the entire content aspect of the platform has been rendedered redundant by these bots?" When you say platform do you mean Steemit.com or the Steem blockchain? I already told you that it's up to YOU and the community to do something about it by programming your own app that doesn't put bid-bot-upvoted posts in Hot and Trending. Make your own app that has its own search algorithm and interface. You don't have to do it alone or with your own funds, you can make posts about it ask for programming help and for funding. Let me know if you need help with anything.
