Nice photos! But please do give organic curation a chance, if this post had not been promoted with stacked paid votes, I would have upvoted it instead of downvoting it. #NewSteem

You do realize that buying upvotes doesn't give me all that much reward? This post was only going to give me $0.98 at the time you down voted it. $.0.98 on a $20 "investment". I only buy upvotes for visibility, not to make massive amounts of profit. And it worked, my post would probably have been buried so deep in crap posts you would have never seen it.
You confuse me, you have shared posts from voting services, like @smartsteem, which I use. And you have upvotes from people who have created voting services, like @therealwolf. If these services are so bad for the Steemit ecosystem, why do you have anything to do with them or their creators?
I'm having all sorts of trouble getting posts to post, I'm not making any money, most of the decent content on here gets buried in crap posts or posts about Steemit being so wonderful. I was an early adopter of this idea, but it's gone way downhill. And people with agendas like you aren't helping people like me out at all. I have nothing in here but the funds I have received over three years of curation and author rewards. I have never cashed out more than a little here and there. I don't have spare money to pour into this place and make myself a whale so I can go around down voting people just to teach them to "give manual curation a chance". I tried that. It doesn't work for people like me who don't have the funds to pour into SP so they can self-vote themselves into the stratosphere.
Rant over.
No hard feelings. But dammit man you cost me $10. And in this place that's a ton of money.
