What actually goes down the toilet here are those potential billions the arts and entertainment industry generates every fucking year.

I've been saying this since Dec 2017 when I stopped using bidbots and started shouting about it.

Went to steemfest in Krakow last year... saying something similar to what you're expressing in this post -

by allowing vote sellers carte blanche, we're literally losing billions in the long term for smaller short term gains for 12-15 people ....

And guess what? No one cared or gave a shit to listen to me, or any of the other people who were saying the same.

Here's what I think the problem is:

We have most of the bidbot owners, vote selling barons and other psudo-criminals in among the top 100 witnesses. If no one has got together to vote the crooks out, it means too many fucktards are making there small time fucktard-ary $20000-$30000/year by keeping their allegiances and saying/doing/changing nothing.

The status quo here has left me in a state of perpetual nearly giving up if I'm honest. Until I see a post like this, and realise that others see the same truth and would like to see all our investments bloom massively, rather than what will happen if things are allowed to continue as they are.

Anyway, 🤣 your rant inspired this rant...
Cheers for the rant inspiration 😉🔥👊

Oh yeah, and the image in my head of an angry woman charging at me with her tits flapping 🤣

I started pointing out these issues at about the exact same time. I had come back from about five months away from the internet, saw what was happening to the place and thought there goes the neighborhood. I compared the paid votes to crack cocaine and explained what happens to every neighborhood once crack takes over.

Thanks for the rant. The place needs more good and honest folks who can see the true potential. ...and I'm glad you got a chuckle out of that.

100% spot on. What needed to happen was for all the whales and orcas to bitch slap the vote sellers with flags to stop it proliferating... but instead most of them just learned how to make there own bidbots. A prime example of how greed breeds stupidity.

If it weren't for vote selling, steem would have really mooned (like $20-$30/steem) during the last bull market as a huge influx of mainstream artists, musicians, writers and film makers flocked to steem. I don't think many realize just how much money would have come to steem if the value proposition had have held up.

I was personally developing a way to bridge the gap between traditional publishing houses and indie authors using steem before everything went to shit. And it would have worked. I honestly think It would have brought millions of investment to steem and possibly made me good money as well. But I wouldn't even think of wasting my time in the current climate on steem. Fckn legitimate business ideas are dirt when the ecosystem is such a riot of leaches and value thieves. Things may improve with a return to 50/50... Maybe.

Until then....

.... because you are crack heads children 🤣
