I mainly used bid bots as a tool on my contests to get visibility and a lot of community feedback. At that same time, I am also giving away a generous amount of SBD in doing so. I can see where abusing

Ah that makes more sense, thanks for the information, I appreciate it! I'll look into the various other skins you've mentioned and what their added benefits may be. :D

They do seem to be quite the nuisance!

Haha I appreciate it, but I can understand what you mean about shitty posts that were boosted by bid bots. My last contest was called a shitty post in trending regardless of having over 300+ comments of

I agree, the bots are a fantastic tool but should be used with caution and others in mind. I normally try to bid on bots when they have no other bids on them. As you said, others can ultimately lose out

I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to give such generous rewards, technically speaking I can't really afford it, but I'm considering it a paid learning experience. So in the

Wow that's absurd! I can see how that could easily anger anyone. It's sometimes sad what people put others through in order to gain a follow, a like, or registration. One would assume with all that information

To be honest I would have preferred the limited editing, as it can hold people accountable for their actions. Say someone says some really horrible things, but has the ability to alter this at any point

I'm not sure what rainbows are, I'm assuming it's part of the badge system that other users have mentioned? I have yet to do any research on it.

Thanks for the heads up, I just bookmarked it to browse it a little later. Is SteemPeak created by the dev team for Steem, or is it just another service?

That makes more sense now, I guess I was looking at it from a different perspective. :D

You make a valid point. A system to filter content other than just selecting a tag would be helpful. I'm just curious though, and I'm not sure if you'd know the answer to this, but do most minnows reinvest

Ah I see your point of view now, personally I try to read and reply to everyone who engages, as they are taking the time to come here to engage. They are giving me a part of their limited resource, time,

That is true, minnows are a huge part of the steem lifeline, but at the same time whales have a strong enough foothold to not have to worry about them. Considering they can easily make money without

I've run into that issue, didn't know if it was just me or if others had encountered it. I think if Steemit did give notifications of follows and unfollows, a lot of mindsets on the platform would be

To understand any community you must go to the root, which a majority root of this community is just everyday users, not whales, etc. So as you said, you have to reach the heart, it is there that you'll

I get that quite often so I know the feeling.

I have no clue to be honest, I've never been the greatest with making friends. :P

Greetings! The way you wordered it, you've made Steemit sound like a dictatorship with the top being the majority shareholder and his underlings who continue to keep the top, on the top. In many ways this
