More Drama? More Drama...
But hang on, this was positive in my own opinion.
On the whole @TrevonB drama, I've already stated where I stand among the different opinions, and that I don't think we should welcome people like him.
Apparently, he's noticing people aren't welcoming him here and posted this:
https://steemit.com/faceless/@trevonjb/not-posting-anymore
Well, this post started a micro parallel skirmish between 
They appear to have made peace and understand each other at the end of it all, but I read through all of it and think this is content that brings A LOT of value to the table, so I'm going to go over it.
If you want to know why I think this is valuable, read below.
Why is This Good Content? Let's Analyze the First Part:
I'm going to paste the original comment that got flagged divided by bite-sized sections in order to analyze it.
Quite frankly, I believe that we should always hear every opinion.
Most of my followers know of the day in which I reached trending and marked two powerful enemies up for revenge, and how I'm on "Bernie's Side"... but in this case I upvoted the comment he flagged. I disagree with it being flagged and think that comment added more than 100s of others currently on Steemit.
"Hey why don't you do the other idiots on steemit a favor and go flag all the stupid fucking contests that pay steem rewards and bounties to people to write shitty spam blog articles about the latest greatest shitcoins and crapicos coming out. And then flag the posts of the people who actually end up writing and shilling said shitcoins and crapicos."
Ok, he said some valid things here, yet messed it up by heavy hitting on the start.
However, he does have a point here.
When was the last time you stumbled upon one of these circle jerk contests? Pretty recently I'd wager.
In fact, they're very common... but
You see, with BitConnect, people saw it was a scam - well, most educated people did. With some of these shitcoins we're talking about a niche market usually, such as artists, photographers and so on, and they truly believe said ICO is going to be something.
This part of the comment doesn't have too much to analyze other than - Steem is infested by circle jerk contests.
But it gets better...
And let's not kid ourselves here, anyone who thinks the "magic power of steemit oooo and the content we produce" is the reason for the rise in price is fucking delusional, oh wait that's most of the users here, anyone who has a ton of SP either dies fighting lost causes or becomes a circle-jerker.
I actually don't give a fuck that you run around flagging people and haejin runs around flagging people, who knows if haejin is even Korean or not but both of you are probably well aware of the fact that all price action for both steem and sbd is dictated by a single fucking exchange that allows massive pump and dump action which is fun for those in on the game, but not so fun for the other koreans and traders who are getting dumped on. And so you running around flagging or voting meaningless tripe is really an exercise in futility because you think the quality of content here matters when really it doesn't, investor perception of the quality doesn't fucking matter because that's not what they're looking at and they will never care because if there was actual value to be had in any of this website then it would have already BEEN a successful long-standing business model.
So... do you start to see value in this? I mean, the form is not the best as we certainly feel the rage, and he is exaggerating some stuff, but he also voices concerns we all have.
I think this guy is speaking his mind and telling everyone what many are thinking. How much value does this add? I'm willing to think it adds a ton more value than the average post on the hot section.
The color challenge on photography has nothing on this guy's comment... lol.. as you'll see
But guess what, blogging sites are fucking dead, video sites don't make money, and users aren't willing to pay real cash money just to upvote some random fuckers when they can organically vote on content with an equal weight as other users on the websites they already use. Their voices already matter more on the content-consumption sites that they already use and so why the fuck would they ever downgrade and pay out of pocket for an inferior service, especially when it's filled with crap like this?
Almost everything is bullshit here, except with the crap that fills the Steem Blockchain through the Brim... and that I'm sure it's true, I see it daily.
Steemy piles of shit content, I mean "Steamy"
Seriously, if you want to do something meaningful or care about steem or steemit then get your head out of your ass and smell the roses and something other than the inside of your own sphincter for a change. No one in the real world gives a shit that someone like haejin is trying to maximize his returns by voting on his own bullshit. No one cares that you upvote your own posts about how you just downvoted his posts. Everyone just pretends to give a shit because they want an excuse to get caught up in the flag war and get the sympathy votes that roll in afterwards on some shitty sob story post they'll make seconds later.
He shifted into aggressive mode again, and while this piece isn't deep or truthful as many of us care for things like that, it sure is high quality... heck I laughed out load. Such a mic drop.
Entertainment plays a part, and reading stuff like this you won't even know it's a large comment, it reads easilly
But the difference here? This isn't some random nobody, this is a guy who put in several digits of real money hoping to get a return, someone who actually had the initiative to grab a pair of people who have actual social media reach. His own reach can't be disputed, he has a shitload of followers. I won't lie, I didn't know who the fuck he was before I ran across some other post talking about what a fucker he was. Boohoo he sold people on bitconnect. Please tell me which of the icos that are currently being endorsed on this website by countless nimrods will actually do anything other than burn investors' money to a sorry ass crisp, because to me there's little to no difference other than the media exposure.
I already talked in some of my other posts how certain communities here have a huge "Cult of the Leader" problem.
I also discussed on how they cater to the huge whales at the top of said communities and kiss the floor beneath their feet... it's disgusting. No wonder this guy has a poor image of the Steem Blockchain, he seems to have had 1st hand experience with those boiler room groups.
And trust me, there are communities here that are very good at exploiting people and selling crap coins. Boiler Room communities as a friend of mine said.
Everyone likes to suck off ned, dan and stan, but guess what, stan gets fat upvotes every time he cries about how "Arise was going to be so good wahhh they killed it before it had a chance." Are people riled up about Arise losing them money? Do you downvote his posts? No. Because you are not unique in that you and every single other person on this site is a giant fucking pussy when it comes down to it because we all know that if we downvote someone like stan we would probably get perpetually downvoted out of fucking existence because he would probably pull some strings to have all those app delegations pulled just so he could personally flag you so hard with a voting strength so large that your descendants thousands of years from now wouldn't know what making a visible post felt like.
You know what?
He is right!!
We mostly are giant pussies! You guys know I have two big guys I don't like on here, yet I never refer them by name, I never tag them.
You know why?
BECAUSE I'M A HUGE PUSSY! As
I know that if I mention them, I get flagged, and I don't want it, I prefer avoiding it even if it made more sense to out them.
But I'm a pussy!
This comment has value, it shows you some harsh realities, it shows you some things you know but fail to admit. Once I grow up enough, I hope I can stop being a pussy as I can defend myself... but do I just tell myself that to rationalize and keep myself safe?
Sure as hell seems like it...
If you'd ever bothered to watch his fucking videos before flagging you'd realize he was actually saying some real shit and asking his viewers to fucking think for themselves for a change, which is a welcome change of pace from all the non-stop steemit love wankery that pollutes this sorry excuse for a website. But you go on being you dude, I'm sure if we just flag each other hard enough all the normies will come rushing in after realizing they don't see enough soft-censorship on their own shitty social media websites of choice. Because that's what really makes for an appealing website, surely.
Another great point... I've seen people here FAKE love like crazy.
I don't tell people I like them unless I like them... but Steemit is the platform with the BIGGEST AMOUNT OF BOOTLICKING I ever participated in.
It's BOOT LICKING BONANZA!
Not only are people pussies, they're bootlickers as well!
It's a shame it has to be a newbie on a flagged comment to point that out so eloquently!
And maybe I am a bit biased because @trevonjb was literally the highest % of my incoming votes by a long shot until recently, but that just goes to show how stingy most all of the fuckers on this site are and how shitty everything is if he is one of the few people on this entire fucking platform that talks like a normal fucking human being who hasn't drank the fucking steemit koolaid yet. Even taking that into account I think you should still go watch some videos of the twins he just brought in, because if you think the quality of their content, their humor and what they bring to the table isn't at least 10x better than all the fucking garbage laying around here on steemit that passes for "content" then you have shit taste. Don't fucking lie, I know you have nothing better to do right now, go watch some vids and compare them to what you see on steemit right now.
Done!
This was the full extent of
I would tell you guys to follow him, but he doesn't believe Steemit will last and already cashed out, so nevermind.
However, you have to admit this was quality content. It could be disguised as a flame-war shitpost, but it raised valid points most people should consider.
Heck, to me it is an eye openner of many problems of the blockchain.
But the story doesn't end here. As
The post was really good too.
@Charitybot's Post: Another Piece I Have "Curated"
You know how you get those curation lists that looked like were made by a bot and have shitty posts throughout that you never bother to read?
Well, here's a post curated by yours truly that I will guarantee you'll like.
You can check it here, but I'm going to do the same thing and analyze the post.
LOL so instead of being able to come up with a counter-argument to literally anything I said, you're going to flag money that I've earmarked for a literal charitable fund on steemit?
In fact, I have to say it was going to be hard for ANYONE to have a comback to that passionate comment, you'd have to cool down and analyze it by bits as I'm doing
On the other hand, I got to agree with this guy when he says the post deserved an answer
Lucky for me I cashed out the majority of it already because I'm not fucking retarded and I can see the price falling. And guess what you fuck, my actual blog posts don't make anything because most whales are retards like you who would rather go around hunting down non-issues while you all go impale the usefulness of the site itself to ordinary human beings by stroking each other or yourselves off. I made most of my money doing the one thing most of you idiots fail to do, which is actually caring about what other people have to say.
This isn't the quality I'm looking for in my curating list :P
To be honest, this seems like the kind of rant people who can't earn go on, so it doesn't say much.
Normally people make these posts to cry about it and hope they get upvoted to recoup their losses, I'm making this post because I had some other things to say and I want the followers who aren't in the know to know why this party is ending soon.
Been there, done that, it's the truth.
About the party ending soon, this is where it gets interesting...
This site is going to die very, very shortly. Maybe a slow death, but a death all the same. It can't compete. You're just going to be stuck here with weirdos, rejects, and poor people. These are the only people who live sad enough lives to subject themselves to the fucking lunacy that is steemit of trying to suckle at the teats of all the whales here. No offense to anyone, just painting the picture as clearly as I can so you understand that no one who doesn't need a job is going to ever touch this place with a 500 foot pole. I like being a social outcast as much as the next person but let's not kid ourselves here, why the fuck would normal society want to be subject to the rule of a handful of fucking oddballs. That's probably one of the reasons why morons like Berniesanders want this site to be so detestable a concept to outsiders, people with eyes and brains who can see how shit the website is would never attempt to challenge the rule of a handful of wankers like him because they know it's futile mathematically and a waste of time from the perspective that even if you win you're just lording over a small group of people and you'd have more social reach if you were the mod of a smallish subreddit.
Still not the core of the problem here, but he starts by stating something we've all realized, and something I already discussed in the past as well.
Steem has a censorship mechanism in place with the flags. You simply can't vigorously disagree with someone who has a lot more power than you. Heck even a flag by mistake can send you flying through the air.
This is proof of stake though, so this "problem" to some "benefit" to others was bound to happen. It's what makes abusive flagging so abusive.
I like how people say that steem is getting more decentralized, how the whale group got smaller and other groups got bigger recently. No, you dumb fuckers, that's called cashing out. They have cashed the fuck out and you are holding the bag. And you aren't even supposed to be holding the fucking bag, some idiot on Upbit is. Sell your shit while you have a chance, for a couple of reasons.
It's always, and I mean ALWAYS good to hear the opposite of what you think
This is true for some whales too... Some have cashed out and do indeed think we're the bag holders. If we are or aren't only time will tell. But this IS Quality Content.
I see more value in this post than a WHOLE YEAR of Technical Drawings by the Spam Whale
And Upbit IS the major and nearly only reason for the meteoric rise in price you fucking twat. Go look at the fucking chart. Guess when in November they listed that pair. Prove to me it's otherwise. BIG COINCIDENCE THE PRICE EXPLODES JUST DAYS AFTER THEY'RE LISTED ON THAT EXCHANGE RIGHT.
Aside from Upbit we all should know by this point in time that Tether is still an issue. "Oh no it's not they stopped printing USDT". Well, you can get bitfinexed's and tetherprinter's accounts blocked on twitter, you can scream FUD all you fucking want, but guess what. They didn't print USDT on the 6th to make that fall through 6000 stop.... they printed fucking EURT.
Analyze THIS Hay Gin.
He is partially right in this as well, though not everything is as dire as he paints it, it was indeed the listing that skyrocketed the price, and STEEM remains indeed tied to the BTC price.
So, you see, there's food for thought here. This post deserved higher rewards than most of mine.
So have fun flagging me, I'd come up with creative insults for you but why would I bother, considering the person I would be creating insults for is literally so uncreative that the best excuse they could come up with for flagrant self-voting was instigating a hypocritical flag war against another self-voter with no purpose, someone who doesn't use a single original image or name, who writes at the level of a mildly retarded grade-schooler and thinks they're some kind of stalwart defense against the evils of voting circles when really he just shits all over the bed he sleep in and apparently must want the site to die a faster death than it already is because otherwise what sane person would want to drive investors away at the rate that he does. And I know that none of this is SFW which is usually a big issue because you all treat steemit like your fucking job and you treat all the whales here like potential employers but just stop for a moment and ask yourself if you really want to commit your entire fucking life to a social platform where you can never, ever say what you're really thinking without worrying about the social ramifications. How the fuck are you ever going to have a real conversation? You won't. So have fun with that. There's a reason you all still use other social media websites, because we're all fucking degenerates and like to be ourselves sometimes. And if you're wondering, wow, this is out of the blue, no, I let people here know I'm an asshole, I'm just laughing at the fact that so many people here are scared little shits and never say what they think so I'll speak for all of you who are too afraid to let your real opinions of this site and its people be known. Most people don't even bother, they just leave silently, which is why this site is dead in the water regardless of what the whales do now because they suffocated the site in its sleep before it had a chance to grow.
And again, he is right on people on here never really saying what they think.
In fact, the people who always say what they think have a harder time "playing" this game than even the pussy bootlickers.
The whole rant was too much to analyze, but the "I'm not making creative insults" part is just a lie, this whole post was pretty creative and left me tearing up.
I have a question though...
If you're going to flag a charitable account, berniesanders, the least you can do is give a better response than the weak-ass one you did, and directly address my other main comment. Pussy.
This post was a bit risky, as I'm again getting involved with stuff I don't have the size to be in.
However I don't want to be the pussy that failed to bring this to the table. Because he has a point!
It's time we start considering voicing our opinions and calling out stuff.
It's time we stop being HUGE PUSSIES and tell people what we want to tell them.
And as such I'll finish this by tagging the big guys who flagged me and by saying the following:
@Haejin and @Ranchorelaxo: You flagged me for no reason, I did nothing to you two, and you did it while I was a plankton... now I'm minnow... but I'll grow, and I'll pay back the generosity you gave me on my first month.
