the FIRST TIME in HISTORY a HATER is doing "better than you" and they STILL HATING.. Wow, these people 'hate' to see anyone FREE and enjoying their lives. You have a community that will want to continue to follow your personal journey. I have a feeling it's about to get REAL GOOD NOW.. Y'all remember @Avva said get a fresh new notebook ready!!
Steemit is great UNTIL you have some power (which no one really has except the creators) and then the goons come for you -- that's life -- that's government -- that's mafia -- that's gang mentality -- that's not the TRUE concept for blockchain community. This is NOW a CENSORED platform --- and ya' know, if I wanted to be CENSORED, controlled and REPORTED on, I'd be on freakin' Wastebook (FB). @craig-grant I wish you would move your videos to Vimeo Business version.. YT is shady af too.
Now you SEE, no matter how much MONEY (even $300k) you put into this Steemit Platform (which they will gladly TAKE your deposits) you will NEVER HAVE POWER or FREEDOM in this community. What's the point now? Diddy said it >> No time for fake ones.
This was a great "first" social concept. Now, I'll wait for the REAL crypto developers to come and build the REAL DEAL.
Fuckin pathetic, I came over here to steem cause of Craig and i wonder how many more people joined steem because of him...get one STEEM SJW pissed off and all your efforts down the toilet
Craig let the haters hate, there are some people like me that enjoy your content and there are others that just want what you have... Please keep bloging
nothing can be done, @fulltimegeek has more steem power than most, only solution is to have more steem power than he does so i can continue paying myself and my followers
I was hoping that maybe @timcliff or another well-connected member can talk to some whale to vote for your posts to counter-effect his down-votes.
It is a shame that a steemain like you with rep = 75 get forced to leave like this.
ِAnd Sorry for bothering you with this. I am not a follower of craig-grant, but I thought it was not good for steemit if a user with high rep was forced out like this.
But I have been investigating the matter for some time now. I think I found (like you said) that the downvoter ( @fulltimegeek ) might have had a good reason after all :(.
Wow, that's such bad news. You do so much for people getting into crypto and Steemit. Made some money following what you did. Found your posts entertaining and informative. Big lost to Crypto community. Now its time for us to create our own "flow" and be independent. We will have to ask ourselves, "what would Craig do?"
@fulltimegeek flagged posts with content about cryptocurrencies.
as there are concerns about your promotion style.
the biggest value of your posts here on steemit is the rewards you give yourself.
indeed there are valuable information within your posts sometimes.
but there is a big gap between quality and quantity.
there is nothing wrong with upvoting your own content.
actually you proved that you are an expert on this.
you made it to the top here on steemit.
you are the 2nd most selfish voter on this platform. congratulations !
just sayin.
there are also other scales as income to improve yourself !
paying myself $300 per day for blogging and buying thousands of dollars of steem power each week was a perfect flow until now, my account is too big to continue doing that, maybe with 50k steem power I would be able to, time will tell
i definitely respect your participation on the steemit platform.
all of your actings here are comprehensibly.
i promoted your content by bots in the earlier days of steemit, cause you are an attention magnet !
as you started to exhaust the usage and support of the steemit platform (which is good!)
i just stopped bot upvoting your content.
as i said. there is nothing wrong with upvoting own content.
But while steemit evolves the participants are very likely to concentrate on utilization and distribution of "Power" !
"go with the flow"
nothing bad. fairly 50/50 on self votes/shared votes
this is an all in on steemit. we'll done !
but with power comes responsibility
a lot of power (hardly earned and acquired)
highly frequent posting !
big audience (high reputation)
conscious curation
support and promotion work
there are not that many people who actually expand their steemit experience like this.
But things are changing and It is hard to meet all of these requirements in a growing competitive environment.
pushing steem to the limits of societies @craig-grant
This is the second time I've heard of this guy flagging people over the last week. The other person was someone who just writes short horror stories and posts them to the website, as well as showing his progress on building a cool e-bike. What's up with this dude?

Don't stop blogging!

I agree with you @cryptofixer. But I think we should make an effort to resolve this issue too.
I have just reported this to a very active witness: @timcliff.
I hope he would be able to help in resolving the problem before it is too late.
The only way I found to reach him was to write a comment on his witness report.
Please upvote this post and upvote my comment there so it becomes visible.

Sorry, I usually don't get involved in flag wars unless I know the whole story - 95% of the time, the person flagging has a reason they started.
Thank you @timcliff for responding.

yeah gonna report that page. You should delete your youtube now probably
Oh no....the dreaded BookFace link.

Do you know that for sure @joshbreslauer ? or are you guessing?
I wish that @fulltimegeek would clarify why he is doing this.

this is an all in on steemit. we'll done !

pushing steem to the limits of societies @craig-grant
Update: I have just checked @fulltimegeek's blog and I found that he has resteemed two posts about craig:
@craig-grant a cold blooded killer? and Part-time Billion dollar frivoulus lawsuit filer?
@craig-grant and his wife @yuliana caused someone to comiit suicide. Then tried to profit from it.
So, maybe this is the reason for the down-vote, not the selfishness. Or maybe both?
Update:
I have just checked it, and it is true :(
It seems that what @fulltimegeek did was the right move for steemit after all :(
I don't think it is better for steem. He has his post on auto-flag ao he can't post anything.
This is a clear misuse of power (steem power). Misusing power can destroy Steemit. Downvoting good content is much more harmful than self-voting.
@craig-grant is a good blogger and vlogger. I think Other whales should counter that by upvoting him.
Update: Please read @timcliff's comment up.
steemit community is to small to fight battles, best to move on
Hi, is there any particular reason why your posts were flagged?
not worth my time to find out why, easier to move on, and stay free
This might have something to do with it:
http://www.steemreports.com/votes-info/?account=craig-grant
And Bitcoin Connect, obviously!
nice chart, was nice while it lasted, but it's over now
SteemReports actually has different cool tools to analyze the interaction on the Steem Blockchain.
This one is also fun to play around with:

What the hell Craig. Dont lose it to those haters
steemit community too small for someone like me to fly under radar, they win
