Which Ones Of These Steemy Ads Do You Want To See Go Viral? 💙 You Can Now Vote For Your Favorite "60 Seconds of Steem"!

(Edited)

There is no power of change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. - Margaret J. Wheatley

That was exactly what I thought when browsing through all those amazing entries to the #sixtyseconds contest.

36 videos from 29 different creators were submitted during the past two weeks, and it was very interesting to see the different ways in which Steem can be advertized.

Here are some of my biggest takeways from the messages transmitted in the video ads:

  • Steem and steemit.com go hand in hand.
  • Being rewarded for content creation is (still) the no. 1 selling proposition.
  • Steem is an opportunity for people and businesses.
  • Steem can be many things to different people.

Now I'm glad that the winners will be selected by the community, because I honestly couldn't tell you which one of them I liked best.

Let's go start the voting!

Pick your winner!

It's gonna be a tough decision, so please take your time to vote for your favorite steemy ad.

The voting will end with the payout window of this post (in 7 days from now). Winners will then be ask to set up a celebration post since we have a couple of sponsors who promised bigger upvotes to the winning artists. But I'll provide you with more details, once we know who the lucky creators are!

The entries are listed by payout as follows, starting with the most expensive one. Once you've decided who you want to vote for, you'll find your favorite creator down in the comments.

You vote for your favorite entries (as many as you want) by upvoting the corresponding comments, the voting is stake weighted (as announced since the very beginning).

You can go check out the @dtube videos by clicking on the account names below or by browsing through this list on steemit.com.

Honestly, I recommend you to go have a look on the entire list and then come back here to vote for your favorite ad. This may be the most comfortable way.

The voting ends with the payout of this post (in 7 days from now).


Fun fact: While I put this post together I lost my internet connection about a hundred times (cheers to the island life!). When I had finally set up the post on dpoll I suddenly realized that this app doesn't allow you to introduce more than 20 anwers (entries). Yay! We've got 36 here... So I had to start from zero again and create the post on eSteem Surfer. What a night!

I hope you guys have fun with this voting and those five hours were worth it :-)

See you in a week for the award ceremony!

Happy weekend,
Marley -

Beautiful Steemy Coffee intro @ashtv
I loved "This guy just made more money than he would in a year on Spotify" whatever that is.
Nice jab at facecrook. Looks like she is not making money.

Hi @surfermarley! I will vote once I get the chance to review all of the contestants..... potentially this weekend.... but next time you should consider using DPoll as a voting mechanism. It’s a STEEM based polling application by @emrebeyler which would make it very easy to keep a tally for something like this!

Cheers :)

Hey Jeff! As mentioned in my post above, I would've loved to use dpoll but it is limited to 20 answers and we have 36 entries here. It took me two hours to set up the whole thing on dpoll until I noticed that the app is limited in such way. Maybe @emrebeyler wants to consider improving the tool accordingly...

Ahhh I’m sorry, I apologize for not reading that far... that is a shame. I’m sure he will consider the change, it seems to be a work in progress currently at the very early stages. I can think of lots of different contests/polls where 20+ poll responses would be necessary. Regardless, have a nice weekend!

No probs, it's a long article... I wish it was structured in a different manner but we don't have any better tools on Steem right now. So I tried to put this together in the best way possible. If someone has an idea on how to make it better, then I'm completely open to that.

My weekend starts now - so thank you and best wishes for you, too! :-)

Actually, I'm new in discord. To be honest, I joined many community about a month ago such as #bdcommunity #drisers #duinte #onelovedtube and #steemitbd. So I don't has so many idea/knowledge about it but I'm always trying to learning from my mistakes.

After all, I never lose, I never give up.

I believe,

Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all the odds. #Marta

Therefore, I need an chance to prove myself that I deserve it. So I will waiting for your response @surfermarly

I think spam is a hard word in that context. People are very excited about this contest and many have invested a lot of time and efforts to participate. The prize pool is incredibly attractive, so I understand that the creators want to get as much attention for their entry as possible. Probably not everybody is a hero when it comes to sensitive self-marketing, yet i don't think that should be a reason to say that he doesn't to deserve to win the contest.

You should rather blame @pranto for not spelling my name correctly in the promo message 😉

Good promotion mate. Your video creates good awareness regarding applications on Steem. Your video shows what this blockchain has to offer rather than simply promoting it as a place to make money. Considering where Steem is in its life cycle your advertisement is appropriate. I hope you win, I have a feeling you might ;)

Hey @steemersayu907! I'm just reviewing all the entries according to the established rules for the contest, since the decision day is coming closer.

I have a question regarding the song you used for your video which I just identified as Michael Aasen's song "Problem".

Where did you download the music, is this a royalty-free song? I'm asking since we're planning to spread the winning clips all over the internet as advertisement for Steem, and we need to act 100% according to the copyright law. If this wasn't a royalty-free song, we wouldn't be able to use the clip as official video ad for Steem.

In advance thanks for getting back :-)

EDIT: If you decide to not reply to this comment (or one of my comments on your posts as well as the discord message) and if you can’t prove the music is royalty-free before the voting ends, then this video will be disqualified. Thank you!

Hello @surfermarly, I'm so sorry for the late reply. I have explained why I was late and DM ed you the reason.

But see, the song I used for this video was from a website which provided only NO-COPYRIGHT songs. I often use em'. But for this case which one I used, I don't remember but I assure you that this won't face any copyright issue.

I've been using many songs from the internet offered by NO-COPYRIGHT websites and this one too came from one of them. I really don't remember from which website I picked it because I downloaded many songs for the edit and finalized this one.

I've been using such websites from a long time and have never faced a copyright issue till now. So I believe that this song too can't be copyrighted. On the other hand I didn't took the full song which I downloaded, I just took a part. Slashed some part from the starting and some from the end and kept some part of the middle portion. This can't be Copyrighted :)

I hope my little entry is still eligible :-)

I again Apologize for the late reply ...

Hi @steemersayu907! I have been searching the song all over the internet but the only sources I can find is Spotify, Amazon, iTunes and Youtube.
You need to provide me with the link where it says that the music is royalty-free, otherwise I can’t accept the entry.

I furthermore sent a message to the producer himself on Twitter:
0FBF9B75-F7D8-49F1-8141-8C4D6AA271F6.jpeg

That is actually something you should’ve done by yourself being the creator of the artwork. I mentioned if from day one: a commercial video ad cannot contain any third part elements, unless you’re holding the copyrights.

If we don’t get a positive response from the producer or you can’t provide me with the needed information til the contest / voting ends, I won’t be able to let your entry pass.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Hello @surfermarly,

I heavily regret not keepin the source link with me, but I've good a lil scope of proving that this can't be copyrighted.

I have check throughly upon YouTube's music policies and also looked ut for
the song PROBLEM and The Artist namely Michael Aasen

I did not found this song there. So I would request you to please have a look upon here -
https://www.youtube.com/music_policies

And clear the confusion :)

And thanks a lot for tweeting him, I too did that just now.

I hope it's now good but still would love to hear from your side..

Thanks a lot for your efforts

I can’t it find either.
As I said before: this is a music track that’s for sale on Amazon and iTunes. Why would the author offer it for free somewhere else?

If there is no clear proof that this is a royalty-free track, your video can’t be used as commercial ad.

That’s basic content creation law: never use the art of someone else, unless they allowed you to do so.

Again: we need a written copyright description for that song or a positive response from the producer. You’ve got still a couple of hours of time, good luck 🤞

I'm regretting so bad !! Yup, you're right why would someone give it away for free.

I have texted Michael about the permission for the same though I think I would get any kinda reply :(

But see I looked it out upon ITunes and Amazon as well, but I didn't found on both of the sites.

The Page was Not Found on Amazon

As well as it is neither on Spotify !

The same music is nowhere but on YouTube and on YouTube it doesn't own a COPYRIGHT.

Can that happen ? I'll be very happy if that can be done.. I can do it in just 30 mins..

Please give it a thought of yours..

You said you downloaded the song on a website for royalty-free music. So why don’t you just provide us with the link then?

A new video can’t be submitted now, it’s too late and all the community votes have already been cast.

The voting will finish in 8 hours, so you still have a lot of time to provide the necessary information. I’ll be back here in the evening.

I mean I won't make a new one. I can just replace the audio track on the current video only . The YouTube video I can do that in just a second.

Can I do that, I'll just change the audio nothing else on the current YouTube video..

The video will be unchanged just the audio will be changed and on the same video only..

Can I do That ? ( It'll Take just a min, I've selected a music already I just have to hit SAVE CHANGES )

That's a pity. I liked the video. It really shows off the strengths of the platform. If it's a copyright issue with the music, I guess we can't widely distribute it.

Hey @spectrumecons,

I'm very glad that you liked my video :)

But Mate, Trust me ... The song I've used in the video is from a website that offers only NO-COPYRIGHT musics. I picked it from a website, I heavily regret not mentioning the source of it. I'll give a try to hunt down the source but I can't make a commitment as I used a number of sites from where I downloaded 7 songs and this was one of them. But I can assure this video won't face any copyright. You can count on me !

Cheers!

I tried to be fair all the time actually ... Some people will still find things to complain about here, but I guess that’s just because they want to find something :-)

Have a nice day!

Fairness is a perception thing. Not everybody sees things the same way. All we can do is try the best we can. If there are things people are not happy about they should be considered for future contests.

A key thing to remember is, you won't please everyone.

Hello @chatwithkat,

I too believe that,It deprives others and don't let them have what they deserve but see I haven't used it from my side !

Trust ME I haven't asked anyone to do it as well ! Please think from my side.. If someone else buys votes from his/her side, What can I do ? I really don't know who have bought them for me.

I admit that I went to a number of people for their support but never asked to buy votes for me. I really can't figure out who can be that person..

Anyone can do that and to create a bad impression about someone on others, this can be done..

:)

Hey @surfermarly ! I didn't sent any STEEM to anyone !!

I have also seen that @devilromit16 sent two votes to the comment valued 0.6$ and even wrote that He's my friend on his about.

But trust me I didn't do that ! Neither I sent him STEEM nor He's my friend

Please have a look into this matter and think over it. There's nothing that I should be blamed of and especially of the thing I didn't commit :(

Hi @done, Yup there's an issue with the music.

But I hope it will be soon solved, I have asked @surfermarly that I would replace the music track with another one on the same video. Just wait8in for her Approval !!

Plus !! I'm very glad to receive such huge support from the community !!

But a bit sad as well as a guy namely @devilromit16 bought me some bid votes with approx value of 0.6 $ which is a bit controversial for me. But Trust Me I didn't do that.

And you can check the activities of @DRisers and get to know my true intentions. That's the reason I am fighting against these kinda allegations :(

Anyways I believe that the sun shines the brightest !!

hehe thanks a billion for your blessings :)

Copyright infringement is a total no go in general. I made that pretty clear right from the start. This is not about a link that’s missed - it’s about using a piece of art that’s not yours. In the advertisement space that’s absolutely impossible. Do you know how expensive a take down notice can be? Do you want to pay for that then? I don’t.

Chapter closed. I don’t have time for this.

Yep, I can get that and totally regret not having the proper permit to use that sound track.

But still I can replace that sound track with another one, ( IF YOU ALLOW ME )

I promise you, I'll be very careful from now on. Maybe this was a very big lesson for this 16 year old kid. I have a lot to travel upon content creation, I literally love editing videos and make vlogs.

So can I be given a very last chance to change the music?? ( Pls, this means a lot to me )

Do consider it at least once :) As changing the audio would make sure that there won't be any take down notices ever.

As well as these allegations are hurting me very much :(

Hi @surfermarly, great to see this up and running!
However it seems there is no link connected to the images to take us to the videos.. plus on the Partiko app, upon clicking it, my entry says it's an invalid URL but other seems to work...
Can these be edited/fixed? Thanks!

I set up the whole voting on dpoll until I realized that the voting there is limited to 20 answers (but we have 36 entries). Then I moved the whole content to eSteem Surfer but apparently some links got lost. I fixed this manually now and all links to DTube should be working - that's at least what I can see on eSteem and steemit.com now. If partiko has problems to display the content correctly, then this may be an app specific issue.

I've been six hours with this now and need a break :-)) Happy weekend and good luck for your entry!

    LET THE WINNER VIDEO BE PART OF A STEEM MARKETING STRATEGY

    This is a great initiative. Thank you @surfermarly for kicking it off. And it's really difficult to decide. Maybe this helps a little bit:
    In developing a marketing strategy for the Steem ecosystem, Steemians have identified some top priorities:

    Think about consumer attractiveness.
    Focus on communities, not rewards in marketing.

    Why not take this into account when voting for one of these videos? The video could then be integrated into a larger marketing campaign.

    Lots of very worthy entries; I just wish more people had approached this from a "pretend you're talking to someone who has NO IDEA what a blockchain, cryptocurrency, dApp or decentralized structure is" perspective... we really need to reach OUT to the world. But I guess that will come, in time!

    Hello @surfermarly,

    First of all I would heavily appreciate your awesome initiative for promoting STEEM to the world. It's really an enormous contest which is comin up with productive outputs.

    But The Question I wanna ask you is that

    • WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND THE WAY TO SELECT THE WINNER ?

    I'm asking this because I have a ton of thoughts are are wandering upon me and are clashing with each other. So I thought I better ask the Organizer of the contest ( @surfermarly )

    So The thing is,

    You have said that the

    • The Voting will be done by the COMMUNITY
    That's perfectly fine :)
    • The Sponsors Promised Bigger UPVOTES To The Winning Artists.

    But This doesn't looks a perfect one :(
    sponser.PNG

    You said they will Upvote the 5 best Ads, But you didn't said @oracle-d would select the best ones :(

    spon 1.PNGspon 2.PNGspon 3.PNGspon 4.PNG

    I would love to hear the reason behind it :) @oracle-d

    Moving on...

    • You (@surfermarly) you're the ORGANIZER, How come you voted certain entries ?

    MY TRUE OPINION -

    I THINK THAT THE WINNERS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SELECTED AND THE PEOPLE HAVING ENORMOUS STAKE ARE MANIPULATING IT AND CHOOSING THE WINNERS WHO THEY WANT TO SEE WIN, AS WELL AS I THINK THAT THE ORGANIZERS AND SPONSORS SHOULD BE NEUTRAL IN SUCH CONTESTS, BUT IN THIS CASE IT DOESN'T SEEM SO

    MY TRUE SUGGESTION -

    IF YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE THIS VOTING FAIR, KINDLY WITHDRAW SUCH HIGH VOTES AND LET THE STEEM COMMUNITY HAVE A SAY WITH THEIR STAKES BECAUSE LITERALLY PEOPLE CAN'T COMPETE WITH SUCH HIGH STAKES LIKE @oracle-d HAS AND ORGANIZER SHOULD ALSO REMAIN NEUTRAL IF THIS IS TO BE MADE FAIR

    All the fellow Participants Have A Read :)

    @ashtv @coruscate @bitrocker2020 @travellit @waybeyondpadthai @olegw @steembirds @ivansnz @dcooperation @blanchy @spectrumecons @edprivat @steemersayu907 @midlet @kaerpediem @emsonic @lucylin @capitanzek @jeronimorubio @pranto @honoru @mamun123456 @mediahousent @enmy @toufiqurrahman32 @flash07 @mitchel55 @hmetu @anikearn

    Hey there! I couldn’t agree more! Remember the slogan “steem is for the community” and basically what is it now? It is far from any community any democracy or anything alike equal rights! Well, welcome to the world
    We live in.. the biggest stakeholders take the run, its like with everything in our world... the richest takes the vote, the most influential political will always win, the democracy does not exist! Its always about the monopoly , and in the end.. the contest.. the vote has already been decided (as the biggest account could upvote and 1 vote would change the whole thing) (EDITED and added this explanation). What with the community, what with the the solidarity? Apparently what the community thinks does not matter...

    Hi @travellit! First of all I'm happy to see your video raking first currently since I really liked it a lot :-)

    Second, the voting procedure had been announced three weeks ago and so far nobody had been disagreeing with it. Why now?

    Currently the algorithm on Steem consideres a stake weighted voting, the ecosystem is based on DPOS ever since. Of course such a system has PROs and CONs. An important factor is that it encourages people to invest in Steem and like that gain more influence within the community. From a business standpoint that's a pretty important point.

    On the other hand I agree with you that for someone who doesn't have the financial possibilities it's tough to be heard.

    Yet, so far no better algorithm has been proposed or at least not been considered worth its implementation. Ned has been proposing a one account / one vote mechanism for SMTs / Oracles, but we don't know if those will be implemented in the near future. Pennsif's State of Steem Forum on PAL tomorrow evening may bring some new information on the development process.

    Again, it's sad that nobody had been coming up with all that right from the start and now two days before passing the finish line you're criticizing the whole process at if it was a whole scam.

    All I can say is I've been doing my best to make this a fair contest - and to date I really thought people were appreciating that.

    Have a good day and all the best for your entry ;-)

    I’m just sharing my opinion with @true-opinion and understanding him/her. No one usually shares their opinion so great he has done it and he’s not scared to do it! :) It’s not a criticism towards anyone or anything, just wanted to share how we felt about it as well, also when we realised and understood what “stake weighted means”. I guess we haven’t been participating in that many contests to know it so well. And then people asked when we invited to vote “what’s the point of me to vote i have only 0,001 cents? I cant make a difference and my voice does not count”. Happened just recently and made us think that it goes a bit contrary to the slogan. You’ve explained it very well and so i can pass it further to the people who asked the question! :) And you’ve done a great job putting all of this together to promote steem! I guess this just opens a possibility to make any future contest better.

    Hi travellit! I understand your point, but a world where everybody is equally provided with wealth will never exist - neither on Steem nor somewhere else.

    Yet, what we do have on Steem - and I disagree with your point here - is equality of opportunity.

    It goes a bit contrary to the slogan your voice is worth something

    For a start, that’s the slogan for steemit.com and not Steem.

    Having a voice doesn’t mean being provided by an infinite amount of tokens not doing anything at all. Having a voice primarily means being part of a community where one can reach out to others and team up. Having a voice means having access to a huge audience.

    My vote is 7 Cents. Probably nobody would’ve cared about an upvote from me as reward for the winners of the contest. So I reached out to some larger stakeholders and asked them for their support. Now we have a massive prize pool because people decided to bundle forces.

    Everybody can do that. It doesn’t matter how large your stake, literally everybody has a say here. As in life so on the blockchain: if you want something, then you need to go for it.

    @starkerz said something very valuable in that context once:

    Steem is a mechanism that rewards voluntary action.

    The secret lies in voluntary action here.

    Again, thanks for your participation and for bringing this up. I know it’s an explosive topic, but people need to learn that few things in life come for free - and that also applies for success on Steem.

    Have a great day! :-)

    Hi @true-opinion! Happy to meet you :-)
    First of all thanks for your appreciation, I'm glad you like the contest.

    Second, you're mixing up a couple of things here. Let me clarify that:

    The voting on the entries is stake weighted just as it has been announced from the very beginning (3 weeks ago):

    The voting will be stake-weighted and end after 7 days on the 15th of February. - Source

    I haven't received any complaints in that context so far, so there is no reason to change the rules of the game now that we're almost passing the finish line. During three weeks everybody seemed to be cool with the procedure.

    @Oracle-D is one of the generous sponsors who make this contest possible. They have promised to upvote the winners of the contest, and that's what they're going to do. Since the contest is running two weeks and payouts for posts end after 7 days according to the Steem algorithm, we've agreed on encouraging the winners to set up a celebration post after the award ceremony, and then the sponsors can allocate the promised votes accordingly.

    Besides being a generous sponsor, @oracle-d is also a stakeholder of Steem, just like all of us. So there is no reason why they should be excluded from the voting. At no point in time there were any restrictions communicated, everybody is free to vote for the entries they like.

    The only thing I'm worried about is that not many other larger stakeholders have placed more votes during the contest so far, but believe me I'm doing my best to encourage them all to participate.

    I appreciate your suggestions, but you're asking me to exclude larger stakeholders from the voting just because they have a large stake - and that to me doesn't make sense at all.

    This is a DPOS world. One account / one vote is something that may be considered with SMTs and Oracles in the future (see SMT whitepaper), but currently voting on Steem is stake weighted and so it has been announced for this contest three weeks ago.

    Again, thanks for your feedback & have a nice day! :-)

    Oh my gosh!!! There is so much INCREDIBLE talent here on the platform!!! I can't get over it. Do a blindfolded vote and we'd be fine. However, because I don't want to make it too hard for you, I am sticking with my two favourites from the beginning...I CAN'T choose between the two, so I'll leave it in the capable hands of the universe lol.
    My 2 favourites are @ashtv and @olegw's third entry with Morgan :)
    @coruscate and @travellit are great second choices for me,
    Man, you've all done a great job and you're ALL amazing.
    Good luck to everyone!!!

    Hi @surfermarly, the trails can vote? I consider it an abusive advantage since no one can assure that all its members agree to vote for a certain video ...

    I run a trail and I do not use it because it would be disgraceful. You should check because there are several voting in this contest ..

    Congratulations for the initiative, incredible material has been obtained to promote Steem

    Hi Daniel! Thanks for your feedback :-)

    As mentioned before I’m unable to change the algorithm of Steem and exclude specific groups from the voting. This is an open platform and everybody is able to participate.

    If we wanted to change the way people are able to cast votes on Steem, then we’d need to change the backend of Steem.

    Now if you think it’s unfair that certain groups participate here, you can also reach out to them directly and ask them to remove their votes. Furthermore, we are provided with a downvote feature in order to balance votes - so you can also make use of that in case you considered that being the appropriate way.

    I’m just the organizer here and no police woman :-)

    Look, a few days ago @theycallmedan he made a contest through dpoll, perfect for these cases. It is our big dapp for voting in Steem, so it is not abused because each person votes for himself and does not steal his vote in a trail. That would be the perfect solution that gives us the blockchain to not be a police officer;)

    Did you read my post (the one you’re commenting here)? The whole voting was supposed to be set up on dpoll, but unfortunately the “big voting dapp” as you call it, is not ready for such an amount of entries. I mentioned all that above...

    Thank you.

    I want to vote, but I cannot. These ads are all so different and would attract a different type of demographic.

    So, where are these being used? for whom are they meant to attract?

    There was one that I personally didn't find appealing. I'm 41. But, it's a great design for a younger target market. It would basically fail hard for 40+ year olds. There's other ads that are excellent for my age group.

    Oh, I'm so confused. lol

    help?

    BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko

    Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows

    Friends, creators, truth-tellers—

    Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.

    There is no downvote button on Blurt.
    Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
    Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.

    On Blurt, your words are your words.
    They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
    Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.

    Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.

    On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.

    And when confronted, they shrug.
    “Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.

    But let us be unequivocal:
    When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.

    It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
    It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
    It is power pretending to be principle.

    Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
    No downvotes.
    No hidden juries.
    No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.

    Just you.
    Your words.
    And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.

    So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:

    If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
    If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
    If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.

    The world needs to know.
    Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
    Not because it is loud—but because it listens.

    And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
    Blurt offers something radical:
    Silence for the bullies.
    Space for the rest of us.

    Keep speaking.
    Keep sharing.
    Keep building.

    Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
    it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.

    And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.

    @themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:

    Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.

    Key Concerns:

    1. Systemic Manipulation:

      • Coordinated downvotes from high-HP accounts suppress dissent, creating a chilling effect on free expression.
      • Automation and alt-account networks allegedly exploit rewards, distorting organic curation.
    2. Community Exodus:

      • Creators flee to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes don’t exist, fearing punitive curation over engagement.
    3. Governance Crisis:

      • Hive’s credibility hinges on accountability. Who decides what content thrives? How do we audit power structures?

    Solutions Needed:

    • Curation Transparency: Publish clear rationales for downvotes to foster trust.
    • Community Audits: Leverage blockchain data (e.g., Bilpcoin’s analyses) to identify abusive patterns.
    • Reward Reform: Adjust algorithms to penalize manipulation and reward authentic engagement.

    The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.

    Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.

    #HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"

    A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates

    Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.

    @themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,

    How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.

    @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.

    Key Issues to Address:

    1. Downvote Practices: Silencing dissent erodes trust. Constructive dialogue, not punitive curation, fosters growth.
    2. Accountability: Transactions and curation trails are public. Scrutiny is inevitable—integrity demands addressing concerns openly.
    3. Community Impact: Driving users to platforms like Blurt/Steemit weakens Hive. Creators seek ecosystems that value collaboration over conflict.

    A Path Forward:

    • Engage in open discussions about governance and fairness.
    • Audit curation practices to align with Hive’s decentralized values.
    • Prioritize transparency—publish explanations for downvotes or collaborative reforms.

    The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.

    Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.

    #HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"

    @themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.

    Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.

    Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.

    It’s over.

    The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.

    @themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.

    TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM

    • STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES
    • STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS

    Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:

    The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:

    • Downvote abuse
    • Farming schemes
    • Speaking disrespectfully to others
    • Encouraging people to avoid certain users out of personal dislike
    • Self-voting with alt accounts
    • Self-funding projects through self-votes
    • Promoting games that don’t even exist (LOL)

    These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
