Around 15 out of the top 20 witnesses own or delegate to bid-bots.

I used one today to promote my 'hey i'll pay you to curate and engage league', but you need to use 47 of them to get anymore viewers.

And when I look a trending... naaa

Peace!

Haahahaha.
Nice looking you are.

This great video I vote good to follow you and liking. Your follow and like on me I think. Nice good work yes.

You know, you might have an easier time on steemit if only you were a little bit funny just part of the time! ...but seriously, thanks for this. It inspired me to start a new collaborative project with some new steemian friends. I'm glad to know you and look forward to getting more people working together to make steemit better. AVANTE!!

Did you say donkey?

Spit on the nonbelivabois

Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.”

Some really good truth speech. We need more of that on the Steemit blockchain. I like people who ain't afraid to speak some sense and shake things up! Well said!

Sure.. I will learn more from you...

EOS will save Steem! It will be our lifeboat away from the sharks on here to...more murky waters? TBD!

Not much I can contribute to your bid bots rant. *Being a gal of utmost modesty, I shouldn't shout out the fact that I've used their services.* 

Hey..who else will show appreciation on my (or my teammate's) posts? Organic growth is an ideal notion on here but key word being *ideal*. So I am happy they are there to provide the services, but definitely not knowledgeable enough to say if steemit as a platform is better off with/without their services.

I like this video. Finally something that is not ass kissing "uuu oohh uuu how awesome is DTube/steem plx upvote uuhhuhu"

Too funny @fulltimegeek

"Homey Don't Dat!"

:p

Miss your funny vids.

Keep STEEM N ON,

Minnow here. Thanks for clarifying a few things that have been bothering me. Bid bots. I don't think have any place on Steemit, but that's just my opinion. Regulators. There is a lot of whining going on. Steemit belongs to the community. If you don't like what is going on do something about it. Don't complain. You can flag and you have a mute button. As far as earning mega bucks for little effort, stop whining and put forth the effort or go back to FB. If you are new on the block, build your reputation and engage. Don't demand follows or upvotes. And what the heck is EOS? As far as the whale voting scum, my little flag means nothing. I am but a red fish. I think. So I will just keep plodding along, doing my own thing and hope that the Steemit world will rectify itself soon.

### I think EOS will kill steemit in the future if someone will not take action in the problems of steemit. But the problems is what steemit is created as, things just grows like a monster to haunt us, a snowball effect happens on accounts which really is not the fault of account owners.

Very impressive! You covered a *lot* of ground in less than three minutes. I haven't yet gotten to know this place so well, but your five points all ring truth. 

From what little I have seen and read GREED is alive and well in this community. When seems ironic, given that there are so many idealistic people here who are talking about how Steemit will "change the world" and so on. 

Those *bid bots* only make their owners rich, as far as I can tell. For the vote buyer, it's a bit like writing a book, and then rushing down to the nearest bookstore to buy 100 copies to show *"how well it is selling."* A giant smarmy cat hairball to them, says I! Just Steemit emulating the outside world: A few dominant players taking advantage of well-meaning people to fatten their bank rolls.

As for the EOS thing, there seems to be "whispers in the shadows" that there is some kind of *Steemit 2.0* under development to run on EOS. How that can *possibly* help Steemit is not logic I can wrap my head around.

But then, I'm just a cat...

=^..^=

It's nice to put a face to the name...  

Hi. I'm Dave.

haha... love it.. nice to hear your rants!  I particularly think the point about people complaining and not doing anything about it... If you want something done, then do it.  Don't talk about it, just make it happen!  

Great job of leading the pack and I know I speak for many when I say that you have earned our respect!  Thank you @fulltimegeek!  :)

You really concisely covered a lot of material there and were very entertaining while you were doing it.  I have to agree that while it is not pleasant to see the big payouts going to one person for elaborate, and to me--a non-expert, questionable technical analysis, you are bang-on if we just reflect on how much we were being paid on Facebook to spend our time or produce content: nothing!  I'm hoping some Facebook hold-outs will be enticed to make the transition now that busy.org has improved the interface.  I'm looking forward to your next observations.  Keep up the great work. 

I can't stop laughing while watching this! It's really a comedy lol. @fulltimegeek thanks, man! And yes lol been to Facebook and never get a penny so every single cent I'm receiving here in Steemit is a blessing! Haha.. I'm still laughing gonna save this to bookmark to cheer me up when I'm down lol. Cheers! 🥂

I watched the video yesterday, then spent some time reflecting on it, and my conclusion is thus, if I use a bot, I get visibility and followers, if I do not I get 0.04cents votes, and no extra followers, it seems my 400 and whatever followers are dead from the neck down, and I sometimes wonder if they even exist.

Hey, thanks for the witness vote. Appreciate the support!

This is my first time seeing and hearing you, I've only known about your amazing rep and how you have helped so many people. Sounds like you are from the South and you sure are doing a lot of Too too'ing in there. LOL
Thank you for sharing your perspective since it's important many of us Minnows u'stand where some of the long timers are coming from.
