It is tough. The word I'm trying to simulate is circlejerk.
I mean, it's pretty vulgar, VERY vulgar in fact, so much so that I will not use it for the remainder of this post, or anywhere in the comments even, which is where I really hope to see the most circ.... um.... ugh... ... mutual bias validation
And since I'm on the subject, I'll just let you know that every picture or graphic I will use during this post or its subsequent comments will be taken from a google images search of said vulgar term, including even the traumatized seal immediately above. I DO NOT encourage you to attempt that search. Do not interpret anything I say to be investment advice, or anything resembling a good idea.
Now, with all that out of the way, let the games begin.
Quite a few people on here on steemit are expressing dismay that so many people are using bots to accumulate sweet sweet upvotes. They say it is driving down the normally stellar quality of discourse to be found here, and that it might even be damaging the platform. I say, "pishah!" As I recently noted in an old thread which I had found reason to comment on,
... these bots are free-market economics at the very best. They will evolve into formidable creatures, possibly even self-aware, if we feed them enough $SBD.
So, your challenge, and I hope you don't find it too difficult, is to post a word, phrase, haiku, limerick, meme, photo, or even a single ASCII character if you wish, that best encapsulates our vulgar term of the day. And then you will find your favorite bot, and pay it to upvote your comment. Your comrades here might even upvote yours too, if it is original enough! Think of all the fun we can have together!
- Rule 1: You must not mention the term at all. It has been said once already, and that is enough. It is rather vulgar, after all
- Rule 2: Your comment must not be NSFW. Any which are will be quickly and efficiently downvoted, as will any of your hard-earned bot rewards.
- Rule 3: Prizes will be awarded to the best comments, as decided by me. 1st, 2nd, 3rd get 5, 3, and 2 SBD, respectively.
- Rule 3.5: Prizes will be awarded on Thursday, July 13th at 00:00 New York time.
- Rule 4 : You may enter as many times as you like - the only comments that will be considered will be upvoted by both yourself and at least one bot.
- Rule 5: We want this to trend, so you should keep resteeming it. I don't care so much about the upvotes, because I've got bots for that.
I'm now going to post my first entry, which should get the balls rolling. This way, I'll be able to hire to upvote my post with a clear conscience. This is a graphic from Zerohedge, which perfectly sums up the economic system that we are working so hard to replace here with all our... mining.
