The Shit That's Bugging Me: Episode Two

NoNamesLeftToUse@nonameslefttouse (77)2594d

_{Oh my one
post per day
makes all the curators feel gay.}

^{And I should
probably say
that I don't mean it in that way.}

NoNamesLeftToUse - Drama.jpeg

Oh! Hello.

^{I didn't see you there.}

My name is @NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself and I was just singing a little song to help pass the time.

I could probably write about a thousand of those little songs in a day.

Wouldn't you at least be slightly annoyed with me though if I posted every single one of them?

I know I'd probably hate me.

Or how about any time I get an idea! Wouldn't it be annoying if I took the time to post every single little idea that popped up into my wandering mind, individually, every single day, forever?

Like OMG! I just saw a cat chasing a dog and it made me smile! Then I started thinking about pizza! Check out my selfie! Anyway, thanks for reading my post! Don't forget to vote! Thanks in advance for the money! I'll see you in ten minutes with more of my bullshit and another goddamn picture of myself with the stupid puppy dog ears filter that I've yet to realize makes me look like an overgrown child of the zombie nation where the sheeple roam free and bump into things!

Okay, okay.

^{Calm down.}

I know you think you're being cute and sometimes it is kind of cute; but we only have ten full votes to hand out each day and you want twenty of them.

Not going to happen!

Yes! I get it! Some sucker has you on their auto vote list so you want to milk them for every penny. But each time you spam, you only diminish their voting power and that eventually means you're setting yourself up to earn NOTHING!

If you would just take the time to actually THINK instead of getting distracted each time your brain actually fires out another one of your moments of zen, you'd know this stuff!

Unfortunately for the obsessive compulsive shit poster, they are too busy working on their next thought, and most likely will not see this juicy little memo because it never occurred to them there are others here with more interesting things to say, plus this is WAY too many words for that attention span to be able to decipher.

Moving Along

^{Now there's another breed of shitposter brewing away in the test tubes of the spam lab.}

How many times have you seen this post?

OMG! So stoked! The Palnet tribe! Blah blah blah short paragraph about the existence of Palnet!

I am a master of investing thanks to Steem Leo! Blah blah blah short paragraph about the existence of Steem Leo!

@neoxian I made soup for you! Blah blah blah short paragraph about the existence of Neoxian's City!

STEMgeeks OMG maybe they'll finally figure out a way to get me out of this test tube! Blah blah blah short paragraph about the existence of Stemgeeks!

Creative Coin! I made a sand castle when I was twelve! Blah blah blah short paragraph about the existence of Creative Coin!

Oh and it looks like I'm all outta tags so I'll see you in my next post where I do the exact same thing with five other tribes! Don't forget to pay me! Easy money baby! Bling bling!

Seeing that post once!

^{That was already too much for me!}

Then to top it all off, some of these folks will actually tag members of those tribes who hold the most stake. That's a full blown ass kisser if I ever saw one.

That shitpost is contagious. One who lacks the ability to create actual content for these tribes sees that and writes the same post, as if they think internal advertising is somehow beneficial to the ecosystem and everyone will want to bend over backwards to give it a high five.

Hi everyone! Just a friendly reminder! You're not dreaming. We exist. You're welcome. And now you can pay me.

Disingenuous communications can lick my balls!

Pardon me for wanting to be surrounded by excellence, or at least the best you could do.

Earlier today I came across a fellow digital artist. He's been here since the early days. There was a time when his vote was worth one hell of a lot more than mine. Things changed, life happens. Now I'm the man with the pots and pan!

If you truly want to help recruit members, look for those you've known over the months and years. If you think their work and personality would be a good fit for one of these tribes, and you notice they are not using the tags, leave a comment and tell them about it. That's what I did!

In life, you'll invite your friends over. Everyone has a good time, maybe someone plugs up the toilet but hey! That's okay.

In life, if you announce to the world, "Party!" What happens? People are putting sandwich meat in the fish tank. Some chick can't find her phone. People are using the drywall as a makeshift punching bag. Cops are there giving people tickets for pissing on the street. Someone busts a cap. There's what looks like shit all over the kitchen floor. The cat is gone. Someone is floating face down in the pool and would you please stop sitting on my motorcycles! Those are not toys!

Anyway.

^{I think I'll call it an episode.}

Have a nice day.

Don't get me started on those bs posts. They will soon earn their way to be muted by the Tribes they are tagging.

Another thing that bothers me is something like this.

FFS, it doesn't even work like that, but you see the attempt at token farming right away. Tagging every Tribe in hopes to earn every shitcoin possible. It's comical, ignorant, and sad.

@derangedvisions(81)· 2592d

I spent too much time making this today. I had to go and find a good fresh shit out in the backyard. Then I found this one and it looked like it was leaning up against the other ones.

I might start using this image when I am curating and find some shit posts. This will fit perfect for those Actifit posts under the #creativecoin tag.
@kansuze(69)· 2593d
I never was into groups or groupthink.
@ryivhnn(73)· 2593d
Oof those autovotes. I feel guilty posting my progblogs because of that XD I mean the progblogs were started as I thought my Patreons would like seeing how I was going, and then I thought maybe people here might also like to see how I was going, and also so I posted more regularly here rather than once every blue moon or so when I had a finished piece to post, but it's not exactly quality stuff, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! But at least some people seem to like watching the glacial progress? :S

Are there seriously people out there that post ridiculously to milk that? Why would one do that, it seems so rude D:

Those meta posts crop up every time there's a new thing don't they XD I've been kind of skipping over them most of the time, a little bit oversaturated because Narrative is in that phase at the moment and I'm over it.

Poor fish, once upon a time I went home for the holidays and left my stuff and my fish at a friend's place to look after til I came back a few months later. When I got back, he'd bought me a new fish because during a party everyone had gotten drunk and someone thought it would be hilarious to photograph one of the fish in a beer bottle. They'd washed it out with detergent, filled it with water, caught one of the fish out of the tank, photographed it, and put the fish back. It was fine for a bit and then it wasn't. Parties can be hazardous sometimes XD
@shadowspub(77)· 2594d
as usual you nailed it. If by chance you're looking for another decent digital artist, you might find the work of @dutybound of interest. A relatively new member hailing from the Canadian east coast who has done some pretty amazing work IMO.

Yes, I suggested he start using creativecoin on his posts.
@anneke(70)· 2594d
All these things make me jealous that I am not at the top of steemit.......somebody is making money. A lot like our government - the top brass and then the rest. Am I nosy if I ask what problems do the curators have with you? Are you maybe not submissive enough LOL
@celestal(73)· 2594d
Well, if I see clear abusing of tags, I press downvote. Simple as that.
@joshman(74)· 2594d
Four unrelated sentences with 4 unrelated tags to farm votes. That's not cringeworthy at all.

I'm ambivalent about the tribes, I'll tag related posts and collect the tokens like playing cards for shits and giggles, but that's about it.

Have you ever seen a telegram or discord tipbot room? Some of them regularly rain some shitcoin if you've recently messaged in the room. So it's basically a bunch of people posting nonsense constantly hoping to catch some sub-penny payout that gets rained on them. A project made a big deal about raining 1,000,000 tokens all over social media. I tried it for fun and it gained me about $0.03 in their token. People waited in that room for hours for this typing nonsense, it was pathetic.

I think a similar thing would happen if the behavior on this platform was left completely unchecked.
@smasssh(67)· 2594d
'Now there's another breed of shitposter brewing away in the test tubes of the spam lab'

And to think that there's no limit to the possibilities to create new ways of draining. Thinking myself about starting 'laxifit report cards'. People here must be wild with curiosity to know how many times I shat today.
@dmwh(55)· 2594d
Well said. Nothing really to add. Please don't waste your time replying to or upvoting this comment. Thx.
@skramatters(67)· 2594d
Ah finally a post that gives me the warm fuzzies. I think I saw that post that set you off into rantcity it was unapologetic and over the top, no shame.. Shall I shame them? Nah, I've gone rogue so without a tribe of my own I'll just keep looking for the party..

It's salty Sunday!

I used to get drama til I had drama with the drama boss and got cut off.. Is that ironic or like rain on your wedding day that's not at all ironic and could be avoided by planning a desert destination wedding? 🐪

NaCl token for you once my salt ninja mining comes through.. I have a lightly salted list and the OMG im thirsty list I'm compiling for the evaporate into thin air drop..

This seems to be somehow ingrained in human nature. I experience very similar in the real world too. The method seems to be to pander to the ones with the most influence and money, tell them how great they are and lots of other nice stuff about themselves that they already know. They, in return, give you attention to keep you coming back to give them more. If they don't give you as much attention as you want and someone else is offering something that looks better if you change your attention to them, then make a scene about it and switch idols. Repeat pandering while complaining about how badly treated you were by your former idol.

I don't do very well at this as I'm not great at telling people what I'm aware they already know or telling them they're great if they're really not. I usually manage to avoid telling them what I think if they're being an ass, though. I do try to avoid totally undermining myself, even if I can't kiss ass.

Your writing is really interesting. I am new here. I am glad to find you
@michealb(67)· 2594d
figure i shouldn't vote unless you have at least 4 tribe tags. Must be feeling altruistic today.

oh, what where you whining about? :)

At one point or another in my twenties, I was at various parties where at least one of those things happened. Like the time my drunk then-girlfriend threw a grapefruit at the wall just to see what would happen.

Youth is wasted on the young.

"disingenuous communictions can lick my balls."

I like a lot of your post but this one simple phrase stood out. Anyway, I just saw a cat chasing a dog and now I'm thinking about pizza...Gotta go. 😊

I try to stay away from shitposts and drama. Life is too short to deal with that. Thanks For Real Entertainment writing.

One who lacks the ability to create actual content for these tribes sees that and writes the same post, as if they think internal advertising is somehow beneficial to the ecosystem and everyone will want to bend over backwards to give it a high five.

The problem is, they will bend over backwards and give those idiots a high-five. It’s not even really bending over backwards though. It seems that this is what Steem users want. It’s been happening for 3+ years.

With all of these “tribes” now, what you get is circle-jerk-ception.

“Hey, Steemians! Check out what you can do on Steem! Yeah, that’s right! You can join this little community over here! Isn’t that cool?! And when you get here, you can tell everyone in this ‘tribe’ how cool it is too!”

The morons upvote it and the poster bid bots it to the front page. Then they all blow their load in each other’s hands and pretend that they’ve spread their impotent seed some place where it actually matters.

And we’re all supposed to think that these “tribes” are better than the original chain and interfaces? At best, they’re just the same thing - cloned interfaces, cloned culture, and crypto tokens that not many people are interested in holding.

In reality though, it’s worse. It’s mostly just centralized garbage that can hardly be considered “cryptocurrencies” and it’s a system that will likely fall into legal trouble.

But what do I know? I’m almost never right. Just ignore me. I’m the idiot who asks cops to help traffic drugs. It wasn’t my fault though! He seemed nice!

I am looking to put my downvotes to use to combat this and I feel that there are many others looking to do the same. I feel that the experiment with a downvote pool for Hard Fork 21 will bring experimentation with it at the very least.

Well at least you didn't forget to farm drama also!

:) Some days my posts are less than awesome... Other days..

I'm all over it, although I don't do art!

So, don't forget to tag creativecoin. :) See on the block
