Dragging You Up With Me Week 9 / Ask Me Anything Contest Winners Announcement - D00k13 Digest #154

in #vlog5 years ago (edited)


What up my Steemians, welcome to the @D00k13 Digest, time to announce the winners of my "Ask Me Anything" contest week #9. Just a quick thank you for being so patient with me, RL required my attention and it was good to get away from everything for a little while sorry for the delay. We had another good week of questions, really been enjoying these contests as it often forces me to do some research to come up with an answer for you.

This week ranged from @ketcom asking about the future of the human race all the way to @wonderwop asking something very platform oriented about voting power and unvoting which adds value back to the platform for newbies, even @mariannewest with her cheeky question and one from @kpreddy which to me seemed as a very thought out loaded question which promotion of @Actifit could be my only response and many more. Remember guys there are no stupid questions in life only stupid answers, here is hoping I do not make a fool of myself!

Let’s step this up a notch while we are at it, please feel free to give your input on others questions it will encourage participation and I will factor this into my decision making process. I am to make this a discussion and everyone is able to participate so lets say your question gets a higher amount of discussion it would also be more likely to receive a reward even if those comments come from non participants, get your friends to help you win by commenting on your question ;)

Thank you so much for considering my question @d00k13 and awarding my 3SBD's

This week's question is: What did you do differently to receive a very generous delegation from a fellow Steemian? Or did you just fall into it?

Posted using Partiko Android

No problem @wonderwop, I seen you also engaging other users so that was a big decision maker!

What did I do? That’s a good question.... it’s all about engagement, I try to give insightful comments on other DTubers works and was noticed by @nathanmars... actually he has kind of been on a mission to empower the DTubers whom engage others as well as create... maybe being founder of #OneLoveDTube has something to do with it but that’s a community following my desire to help through encouragement, support and advice.

So really I just did me and have fallen into a position of being supported for my efforts to support others.

Thanks for mentioning me and @actifit @d00k13. I always enjoy your actifit reports.

My questions are::

1.What do you think of vote farming?? I have seen different opinions here. I just want to hear it from you.

2.Waiting period for now to power down is 13 weeks. I think it should be brought down to 1 week or 2 weeks to attract investors. What do you think??

No problem my friend and thank you I had never really blogged about my days activity before, good to know you like my efforts in keeping them interesting.

  1. Vote Farming - well it is basically pool reward rape, the recent change in hf20 is aimed at making this more complicated as now you must wait 15 mins otherwise part of the vote is returned back to the reward pool. Self votes I believe are pretty well the largest oversight of the entire platform, obviously people will vote themselves if they can thus all of a self vote should be returned to the pool. You can just create multiple accounts and use auto voters but I still consider it reward rape yet when a community with curation efforts such as #OneLoveDTube comes into play that’s a whole different story. Honestly it’s a problem that can only be corrected from a development level and as long as delegation is a thing and people can get ahold of multiple accounts it will continue to happen.

  2. Powering Down Waiting Period - This is something I am not familiar with as I have no intention to power down thus proving I am invested in the platform. I can see why lowering it may be good to attract investors but I can also see how it may bring the wrong type of investment, thinking get rich quick type investing. With the current waiting period it requires much forethought to be able to play the markets using your invested power thus many people hold plenty liquid just to be able to take profit off marketplace movements. My thoughts were more along the line of keeping the current 13 week wait period but including a option for 100% liquid payout thus allowing individuals to earn the rewards they may wish to use in 7 days rather then 13 weeks while still protecting the overall invested Steem. Psychology has a big part of investment in the free market and if people could power down quickly I’m almost certain we would see many follow the leader and spread FUD about the platforms demise in the process further crashing the price of Steem which would only benefit those aiming at manipulating the markets to increase coin count to do it all over again at the loss of others... it’s a bit of a vicious circle and I believe the waiting period is intended to protect the platform against said manipulation as 13 weeks you would most likely miss the peak of price unless thinking way ahead.

I was sick for some days in holidays and could not check my phone because of that. Thank you very much for the detailed answer. That makes complete sense to me. @kevinwong is one of our steemit friends who has bee raising the issue of vote farming since so long . But there is no answer from steemit Inc team. May be they are more concerned about further project developments like SMTs. Development team doesn't seem to be much active. It takes months of time for them to release updates. May be I'm wrong too. I don't know how difficult formulating and coding new updates. But I hope they are trying to make this completely different crypto integated interacting space.

Well, Im wondering as a minnow as me sometimes, even I have done my best to post a good quality content consistenly, but why is it so hars to get upvote from people? I find a lot of people more interest to upvote some one who has huge SP even with a bad posting quality than some one who has a good quality with little SP.
I want to ask u. How to make other people get attention to our post?
Thanks you @d00k13.

Well the easiest way to get attention on your works is through bidbots use but you may get the wrong attention also and be flagged. Much of what people wish to view here is crypto or platform related thus topic of posts is a big reason for it being overlooked even with boosting. Each person must work on their personal network of support through commenting others works in an insightful personal manner and most importantly build community and participate activity in community events. Quality of post isn’t the only thing to this platform and votes are not the only reward, I find interactions like these the most rewarding as I provide my opinion with information to help others. That said the best ways to gain attention on your work is to help others gain attention through providing tips of what has worked for you or like this post a reward for the interaction.
