Has the @cheetah bot turned into yet an other comment bot style scam?

Right out of the gate, are you kidding me? Is this satire or something? Not putting me in a good mood by calling something that I'm actively working on, and have been for almost two years, a scam.

Whitelists not updated

No. Read the FAQ.
https://steemit.com/cheetah/@cheetah/faq-about-cheetah

If you're designing something like a weekly challenge or game, make sure to do it on a separate (designated) account. If you still get comments, message @anyx in steemit.chat.

Seems you either a) didn't read how to get yourself whitelisted and are just whining that life doesn't hand you things on a silver platter, or b) you did read, and didn't bother to take action so you could use it to further your agenda. Message me or @patrice. The lists ARE updated and maintained.

Lying about upvotes

If you read anything about cheetah, such as my last witness update, you'll see that I discovered a bug on steem with voting. This has been reported to the steemit developers who are working on a solution, see here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1808

More comments means more upvotes. More upvotes means more profit. An upvote bot typically wont upvote the post it comments on.

....I would much rather have fewer comments, as generating each comment costs far more than it receives in upvotes. You clearly don't understand how this works. No one upvotes the comments anyways, only the logs. Cheetah costs hundreds of dollars per day to run. More comments is proportional to more copy paste on the site.
That's it.
Also, cheetah has been bleeding money for 2 years, costing more than she gets in income. What kind of "business" is that? I'll give you a hint: public service.

So anyone involved with @cheetah, please show me wrong by commenting on this post with arguments against my observations and reasoning rather than with flags.

You didn't even tag me, the creator, in this post. I only heard of this through the grapevine. How do you intend to get a response if you don't even bother doing any reading or investigation to something?

If you think something is wrong about the development of cheetah, I'm all ears, and you can help! Specifically:

1. Give me your technical solution (I want to see pseudocode, or formal logic/proofs, or even better, a mock solution in python) to get better than 99.8% accuracy in saying something has some element of copy-paste.
2. Donate your time to @steemcleaners and help us manage things.

I'll be eagerly awaiting your volunteered time.
