Do you really... heck! I mean, do you really wanna see clearly how all your steemit's "heroes" on the steem blockchain could truly looks like?
Oh! do you like mischievous experiments? ¿eh?
Haha ¡Alright! then let me tell you how.
It is really simple. Because it just would require go through a brief server breakdown which wrecks momentarily steemit's API for a couple of days.
This simple event would suffice to show this fact very quickly. Since simply without bots, autovoting trails/guilds nor external automatisms of any kind or sort whatsoever for a little while, then we actually could learn ipso facto the genuine, authentic & real value of each author and their content in this blockchain and consequently our true Steemit reality.
Yes! this already happened two years ago.
Exactly, obviously, elementary my dear little fry. Because steemit isn't really about content quality but rather about your network quality and your full automated votes from your personal 'blind cureitors' backing it up.
Ok, now let's go back to the ancient #oldsteem a couple of years ago and a handful of hardforks behind.
¿Can we? ...ok, then...
¡Get onboard of my funky DeLorean!
Oh! by the way, talking of 'onboarding' matters. ¿Did you know for how many years we've been already dealing with and waiting that this big problem with onboarding new people in the steem blockchain coulda be finally resolved reducing the framework of the current & usual 3-5 days until even whooping 3 weeks long to get new accounts approved?
¿No? ¿No fucking idea?
erm... by chance, ¿didn't you click on the picture of the DeLorean above or on its colored name yet? Yes!? you did click on it? Then, ¿didn't you read the comments there on the commenting box of the post whose click led you towards it? ¿No? ¡Holy crap curator! Are you not gonna try to 'curate' comments anymore? Sheesh! go back and check again the whole thang!! ¡Lagger!
Well, I'm not planning to make this post too long. So, I think it's already dense enough for a relaxed Sunday so that you can consume and digest it calmly without constraints or troubles.
Consider it just a bit of food for thought. Yeah! simply another portion of those outlandish dishes with which the Cranky Gandalf use to feed your neurons from time to time. And mostly on the weekends. :)
Cya Laterrr!!

"Follows, Comments, Resteems & Upvotes will be highly appreciated"
Hey... @por500bolos, nice to hear from you again! Thanks for resurrecting my old post; I had completely forgot about it. I just read it and all the comments, and I think it still applies today, even more so than before. I've noticed that many of those who were regulars on my posts have left the platform. I checked their accounts and they have not made any posts (articles or comments) in a long time. This latest hard fork (coupled with the low value of Steem) has pushed even more people off the system.
It's good to see you are still here and doing quite well. Your English has improved and I think that is helping, along with your humorous style of writing. Unfortunately, I've been so busy this past year that I have not had time to read much of other people's content. I spend far too much of my time just monitoring and updating my games along with dealing with issues in real life outside of computer-time.
Wishing you the very best and we shall talk again.
That was an excellent article he linked everyone up to, explains a lot of problems in detail. I think you were spot on about negative publicity as steemits been around for enough time it's gotten a bad rep among those on blogging platforms. Now with the current hardfolk taking aim at bidbots it has just been replaced with the strategy that whatsup was promoting several months back when steem price was falling and seems to have gained foothold of forming circles among those in the upper tier to form tribes to circle jerk upvoting each other. Someone upstairs noticed her cries and decided her idea best, probably why she is the thick of it with them. It just wasn't the right answer and made steemit all the more exclusive to those who'd even consider joining until they see that.
Thanks for the comment.
I was reading a post from berniesanders a while back and got my hopes up when he stated that he would begin curating again and possibly even send out his voting bot to vote for free (not paid-for votes) again. Unfortunately, that was the last I heard or saw of any extra efforts to curate the little guys. This morning I read about someone stating that they are now curating and so are others, so they are happy. It was a large account, so I'm not surprised that they would be happy. I believe most people know that voting on small accounts doesn't bring a large return, so obviously, everyone wants to curate the accounts they know will get large votes. That just concentrates the votes onto those who already get a lot, leaving the little guys farther in the dust than they were before.
Of course there have always been exceptions and I still cling to the hope that things will change for the better. That's why I'm still here despite losing two-thirds of my active followers. In fact I was trying to power up some more by buying more Steem to lower my average cost, but one of the big impediments to buying Steem is that it is so difficult for Canadians to convert their fiat to crypto. After spending hours looking for a reputable exchange, I gave up. I used Quadrigacx previously, and was lucky not to have any money on the exchange when it went down. Coinsquare has tons of bad reviews and the others don't have enough volume to ensure a timely trade. Not to mention that the fees take a good chunk out of your investment even before you get started. What crypto as a whole needs is a safe and reliable method to get people on board without taking them to the cleaners in the process.
I know how you feel. This cypto market development is relatively new, if you give them your personal information and they go down it makes you wonder what could happen to your personal information as there basically isn't any regulations in place.
I am not real happy with the tribe circle jerk voting either, it's just another way, as you stated, that makes it impossible for the smaller accounts to get noticed. I don't fall for that "quality" content thing either as there is a lot of stuff I see that shouldn't even be making thirty bucks BUT the person is in the circle jerk and usually has enough vote power to make his vote worth something in the circle jerk of things.
I have no doubt Bernie will resurface eventually, it's the all "new steem" thing and recreating new ploys to play.
I don't expect to see any substantial changes made by the current crowd, but in the future, when Steem has all sorts of apps running on it, things might get better simply because of the influx of new users.
I just saw a shitpost Sunday tag initiative to foster casual posting to alleviate the pressures of creating decent content lol..
I prefer your meltdown and just wish people could refrain from posting when they have nothing meaningful to contribute..
It's certainly not worth ruffling feathers over though so I'm doing my damnedest to find 10 posts worthy of my penny upvote and I'm giving up now after 3 haha..
20 dollar posts promoting not trying is not my idea of newsteem but I dare not get involved.. I'll kindly slink out the side exit back to less mundane internet.. I'd rather see couple travel content on ig lol which in loathe.
Though it took me less than twenty four hours to be approved for an account, maybe because I was a high reputation blogger on another platform, it would seem the most logical thing to do to encourage participation is one person, one account. People should be required to prove to steemit who they are before getting an account. Steemit doesn't have to share that information with the world but it surely would cut down on the number of people who don't feel compelled to interact with comments on post because they have their sybil accounts to interact with....which, in reality, the reward just goes into the same person's pocket instead of the pockets of those trying to onboard. That and AI is going to be another big one shortly, bots programmed for years to interact in casual conversation, which some of that has been going on for awhile but it about to increase soon, very soon.
I just watched the video of the little guy on the piano. Quite amazing.
