Oh, dear readers, you are not gonna want to miss this one!

So, yesterday I was mindlessly wandering through the content acquisition feature of Steemit, I forget which of the two it was, and I randomly found a post that I disagreed with the contents of.

I get to do that.

I then added my two cents to the post's comments so that initiates could read my thoughts on the subject.

Here is a link:

I'm afraid the young person wanted to make it all about him/her.

The ball is in it's court, it will hit it back if it wants more, I guess.


I'm going back to my day, now,....



Have a perfectly peaceful day.

Steemit pisses my off too...

Heh heh, Dr. Cream,....

Cool man, thanks for the free advertisement. But you didn't agree or disagree with my post, and you missed the entire point of my post. Your narrow minded viewpoint is just as ignorant as saying "guns are bad". It is not the tool that is "good" or "bad". It is a matter of what the tool is being used for. Disregarding the entire point of my post just to tell me that you think using bots is bad in any form just shows me that, as I said, you aren't really interested in helping or discussing the actual issues, you just wanted an excuse to troll. And it's funny, you keep insulting me and calling me a child. Also chopping what I said into little bits and responding to parts of what I said, while ignoring the actual point of what I said. How about you respond to ALL of what I said, in the context of what I said, instead of hacking it to pieces and implying what I said meant something else. Conversational terrorism is still terrorism. The fact that you pick and choose which of my questions to answer, while ignoring the issue that I was bringing up in the first place shows me your true colors, and what kind of person you really are.

Steemit would be better off without bots in my humble opinion although I have no idea how the platform will sort it out. Maybe the users will in time, The folks who don't use them will have a chip on their shoulders about them & may end them with a flag war when their reps have the power. The folk who do use them may have what addicts call 'a moment of clarity' Realize that they are being conned for short term gain & turn on them as well.
We will see as the platform grows & more whales are created there is already enough negative press on the usage of bots let's hope it gathers pace & we see the back of them.

I got no problem with using a bot to vote the authors you support, it's the buying/selling of votes by bots that give the bots a bad name.
Without voting bots this platform is a quagmire.
With selling bots there is no real curation of the content.

I didn't realize there were different types of bots. I haven't used any so I guess I'm in the quagmire?

I used steemvoter because it was free, when they started charging for premium I tried not having it for a while, but I missed out on too much content because I couldn't remember who I was looking for, so I paid the money.

Buying/selling votes is reward pool rape, imo.
