RE: Goodbye Steemit Thanks to @Sadkitten
😲😕
I have so much to learn about Steemit. I didnt know this could happen. Please don't leave.

I have so much to learn about Steemit. I didnt know this could happen. Please don't leave.
The only thing to learn here is that the Steem community does not appreciate people who only upvote their own posts and comments. Maybe the guy adds a lot of value to some communities on Steemit, I don't know, but for the past 2 weeks 90% of his votes have been on himself:

Hopefully, he sees that it was a mistake and find other ways to use his Steem Power. I'm sure there are plenty of alternatives where he would actually earn a lot more.
Some of us Minnows Power up everything so that we can upvote our posts with 24 cents so that we eventually have more Steem Power to have more value in our upvotes for others... oh well.... wrong strategy.
I feel you. And yes I think it is the "wrong strategy" in the sense that I believe you would earn more SP by adding value to communities that in turn wants to reward you for your presence here.
At least I experienced when I came on that spending my quite irrelevant low SP (at the time) on others whilst giving it my best with my own content resulted in me getting votes that far outweighed what I could have gotten from self-voting 100%.
Only trying to give you my 50 cents here while answering the person above why some of your posts got flagged in the first place.
Fredrikka, Spoken like a true whale...I dont see your comments on the whales who circle jerk each other, look at allasyummyfoods and hef bf and alts, look at adamkokesh and his hundreds of dollars of self upvotes....all the whales and dolphins self vote and look after their mates but you do nothing! Seriously you fucking hypocrite spinless piece of shit, fuck off and do something really worthwhile for the community.
Must be the first time someone called me a whale. I guess I should be flattered. I didn't flag this post, I simply pointed out why it got flagged with my suggestion that he would make more on steemit with a different strategy than the one he is making. No reason to get upset about anything.
I am no fan at all of the people who only circle jerk. I do a lot to spread my own votes and are supporting many different communities both with my own account and with SteemPress. So I know very well that I do more for the community than most.
As for why I don't comment on these other blogs. Well, I choose to focus on where I can add value rather than complaining about others. Someone just happened to share this post with me and I felt the need to answer a guy's question.
@fredrikaa Heartless! It's not his mistake. He is another person that has been attacked by @sadkitten How do they sleep at night harming others? They don't believe they are attacking people, they think they are doing good. Well this post clearly shows they are doing the opposite and harming retention rates. @ned
Self voting is written into the code and is one of the few ways to earn a few cents when you are starting out and enjoying this incentive platform
Not all of us had the insight, fortitude and timing to buy steem for a few cents, many like me have invested a lot of money. Getting a few cents back is not harming anyone. When we have got a few bob, we can share more around!
There is only one law "do no harm to others" all other laws reduce our freedom.
@offgridlife I think your art (you have a good eye) is really cool, please consider delegating your sp like I am currently earning 20% Apr. Then perhaps come back to fight another day when the steem price picks up. Check out isteemd.com for more info. 18% + 1.5% interest from steemit.
It will only take one steem dapp becoming successful to rocket the steem price, dlive.io is one such dapp that is getting very popular currently 45k on alexa.com/search and rising.
