Hey Carl, thanks for the comment. I've added it to my channel links -- thanks for the reminder.

Cheers!

The most important thing is you're out. Clear a space, rest up and fight the fight tomorrow. Of course, that's easy to say in a safe comment section on the internet -- I'm actually impressed you didn't

Agreed, man, lazy is the word for it -- I'm very happy to hear you say that. What's hard is truly helping the underprivileged without compromising the ideals and values of a civilised modern society. IMO,

I lived in the Philippines for 10 years and my girlfriend is Filipina. Do you think the drug war in the Philippines is working? Is the body count worth it?

No worries about the links, I asked for 'em.

I haven't heard the idea discussed much at all, and couldn't find any when the idea occurred to me. Would be interested in any links you might have...

Keep in mind, this is a satirical caricature of an elite oligarch. It's supposed to be humorous -- he's probably lying with every breath, or at least backing up the consensus of his rich country club buddies.

Yeah, taken as a straight horror movie, it didn't quite measure up, but as an exploration of childhood trauma, it's really clever. I read the book as a kid and never understood why King had the characters

I agree with the unbalanced part. What people seem to be missing is that the algorithm's job is to serve the platform's purpose. If the platform wants to encourage good contributors and discourage spam,

Great post. I'm such a newb, it never even occurred to me to upvote my own comments! My pet peeve is all the articles about gaming the system and manipulating the algorithm. Surely the goal is to have

Perhaps he read the instructions and decided not to follow them?

I couldn't advise you on that. I guess it's possible it would detect that as plagiarism or something. Hopefully an SEO expert will come along and give a more definitive answer.

I'm actually not controlling my voting at all, I just don't spend that much time on Steemit at present. Would love to be here more. I do understand what you're saying about maximising voting power, but

Agreed. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I only get a small amount of upvotes on my YouTube postings, but I would have earned more from Steemit than YouTube has paid out in all the time I've been operating

I'm no expert, but as far as I know, if you're the original author of the content, you're free to re-post it on Steemit. I have done this with content from my Popcorn Lobotomy Blog, and certainly nobody

That's a shame, @shayne, you have been one of my favourite discoveries on Steemit. Just one query, why would you pay for school on a topic that's so well covered online? You could easily learn everything

OK, why not give it a go? If there was a term for someone BELOW minnow, I'm sure it would apply to me! I just published this one, asking a question about some possible unfair biases in the Steemit community:

I'm not sure what turns me on more, your pic, the Lambo or the 12-screen monitor walls, but I feel compelled to upvote even before I've solved this mystery :)

I'm no Steem expert by any means, but surely spreading fear about voting is detrimental to the Steemit ecosystem? If people are reluctant to vote, authors won't be rewarded for contributions. It's already
