https://media.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/5/005/0b6/3c8/27e50d3.jpg Slapping Steem/crypto FUD-related jargon on the proverbial title windshield is insulting. It shows everyone, publicly and permanently, that you need to deceive people to get views and upvotes. Do you lack faith in your talents and abilities to attract readers organically? Do you really need to manipulate and influence Steemians to click on your bait title, when they otherwise wouldn't, since it's not what they're interested in? It's no coincidence that many have most of the rewards generated by self-paid bots to try to get on the hot/trending list. It's like putting sawdust in the engine just to appear like it's a valuable post, when it's more inflated than the US dollar. Tack on begging for upvotes and resteems, while neglecting to meaningfully upvote those who comment on your posts, and this is how your future content will register when I see it... http://www.gifbin.com/bin/112010/1289306647_lip-blowing.gif Stop manipulating people and wasting their time. Hopefully a few of you see this and realize how ridiculous you look.
