***"Yawns"***, I've had conversations with five year olds which had more convincing discussions. When you talk to them, they're able to understand the concept of right and wrong. **This will be my last response.**

You fail to see the point that I have no need to see your content. You are manipulating the voting system so no matter how good your content is, I can no longer judge your content and others are being tricked to thinking your content is better initially and content which should be in Trending are not anymore. 

> let's say you new on steemit and have 100 followers and your content is great

**Weak argument**. How do Youtubers and Bloggers get bigger without a budget. Let's remember this is a harder place to get known as it's far bigger than Steem. They network. They get to know people and make a following. You seem to think that money is the only way about this. Todd Smith asked for advice over on DTube on how to become better. I talked to him personally about how to get better, he's now made his own following from hundreds of hours of work. If you're new, slowly grow the network of followers and show people on Discord and other platforms your work. Show IRL friends and ask for advice to get better. If they aren't convinced, then you're not going to make it work. Simple. 

> And it's only one time only for this announcement and no bots for regular posts

You are failing to see the point of this. You're content is not trending because of normal procedures but you are manipulating it. What you suggest means it's okay to do it sometimes because hey you did it the once. How about if someone does it the once but it's shit. But wait that's subjective. That's why your logic deconstructs itself and typing for the matter.

> do you really think your one-time project announcement will

Your formatting makes reading this extremely hard. I'm nearly certain I'm wasting my time speaking to you because if you can't even make the effort to type correctly, then my assumptions about your content being as terrible and the reason to why you feel you needed to use the bid bots should resolve correct. **I hope I'm wrong.**

To answer, yes. You are one of hundreds of people that say this. "Oh but we're just doing this once". Okay so it's okay to let everyone do an announcement once. You'd have hundreds upon hundreds of people doing it and it would make trending look like shit. The content is meant to be amazing which is on Trending but we're stuck with your announcement. Sure it can help the Steem blockchain but what doesn't? If someone debuts an amazing song, does your content mean more than it? By bending the rules like this, you absolutely fuck all reason for people to go and read trending. Absolutely unacceptable. 

> I did it only once for this post, I squeeze this money Barely from my monthly salary 

I get the commitment and I have no issues upon that but I am telling you what you are doing is wrong and that's it. There's no going around that. That's like saying "My Mum was going to die and I had to drive to the Hospital like a mad man" the idea is absolute the right thing to do morally but the driver could hit someone and get everyone killed. What you think is right doesn't make it right. If you're allowed to do this, everyone then is. Trust me when Ned puts in protocols to stop this, then you'll see only the best content on Trending and then you'll need to compete against that. I can't wait. 

In the end it seems like you have somewhat of a grasp of what you have done. You state that I have to consume the content which I'm downvoting but that's not true. The act is all I need to look at. If the content has been put in correctly, I'll consume that media no problem but when you manipulate trending as done, I have no need to care. I might out missed out to amazing content but I put that on you. You've robbed me the chance to read it because of the method used to upvote it and I have no issue to flag it as it robs others the chance to have their chance in Trending. There are rules, play to it.
