# In order to really understand what was going on in the early days of Steemit, you need to binge watch the [Steemicide Hotline videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX2c_He_9ZFMBW_OOj8pe1B8o_uquzrKa), a parody series that I created to document the absurd dramas that were taking place on Steemit.
Each video I filmed, acted in, edited, and created all the sound edits too. Each video took me around 15 hours to create.
In it, you will find some really dramatic memories! There are whale wars, stories of Steemians who committed Steem Suicide (Steemicide) and other random painful stories. A lot of the dramas were created by powerful whales flagging posts of regular Steemians who didn't deserve to be downvoted (this drama is still ongoing.)
You'll be interested to know that Steemicide Hotline is also featured in the [Steem Wikipedia](https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Steemicide_Hotline).
Many of you may have not been around when I made my first Steemicide Hotline video:
# Vol. 1: Steemicide Hotline: The Cartoonist Part 1
https://youtu.be/8atJAiS5qRY
[Dramas: undervalued posts, comic artists who didn't make much money in early days, and the problem of high engagement and low payout. This first drama was based on @mynameisbrian because he wasn't making much money early on, because of the dreaded Steem Guild, which in my opinion was a mistake that went on too long. Brain is actually doing well now, so this drama has been resolved.]
# Vol. 2: Steemicide Hotline: The Cartoonist Part 2
https://youtu.be/Mds2s96j4gc
[Dramas: trying to save people from quitting Steemit. Other social networks are covered: Akasha.]
# Vol. 3: Steemicide Hotline: @a$$hole Part 1
https://youtu.be/P3J-bqIPO3E
[Dramas: A user by the name of @asshole appears on Steemit and wreaks havoc with the Steemians. This episode goes straight into analyzing the heart (or lack of) of @asshole's disturbed psychology. @asshole doesn't seem to be active on Steemit now.}
# Vol. 4: Steemicide Hotline: @klye VS. @a$$hole Part 2
https://youtu.be/CzDMZja8wCg
[Dramas: this episode dives deep into @klye's solutions for vanquishing @asshole. The meme, "Fight asshats with asshatery" applies since @klye admits he was once an internet troll.]
# Vol. 5: Steemicide Hotline: @mynameiscomic VS. Steem Guild Part 1
https://youtu.be/VX1RIqD6FB4
[Dramas: The Steem Guild was creating an artificial trending page, with the high-paying posts being picked by a team, instead of individuals. @mynameisbrian and myself were the fiercest critics of the Steem Guild. This goes into Brian's strong feelings about his dislike of the Guilds.]
Vol. 6: Steemicide Hotline: @mynameiscomic Vs. Steem Guild Part 2, The Oracle
https://youtu.be/sVS9ncnvf8g
[Drama: The Matrix is a big influence in this episode. The Oracle predicts that in the future, a sun will be delivered to Steemit to save it from collapsing. @mynameisbrian is skeptical until a vase hits him on the head.]
# Vol. 7: Super Future Steemit Tag Trendolizer
https://youtu.be/JbTPLxIhIaU
[Drama: people want to know what will trend so they can write about those topics. This episode shows one of @dantheman's newest inventions: a Tag Trendolizer AI machine that will figure out what topics will trend in the future.]
# Vol. 8: Steemicide Hotline: The Dollar Vigilante!
https://youtu.be/1yhYX0Zn-7I
[Drama: The Dollar Vigilante is a controversial character in Steemit. There was a time when he used to show up regularly to comment on his followers' posts. When he abandoned Steemit, and stopped commenting, he received a lot of flags by some big whales.]
# Vol. 9: STEEMICIDE HOTLINE: Why'd You Have To Flag Karen?
https://youtu.be/pD9eF_FNMYQ
[Drama: Smooth flagged popular Steemian, Karen and creates a lot of bad blood in the process.]
# Vol.10: STEEMICIDE HOTLINE: @fidelity Vs. Reality
https://youtu.be/StMQmFUBm48
[Drama: This episode is an origin story of one of the mega whales. Can you guess who it is about? User @fidelity, who is an investor is also involved in this story. It also concerns how Steem was initially distributed to miners when the coin was first launched and how the excessive wealth affected certain mega whales.]
As Steemit has grown, I see that the dramas are less than they were in the early days. However, they will never go away completely, as long as you mix humans with power and greed. Perhaps the next one will include a unicorn......
Cheers,
