The livelihoods of photographers, musicians, artists, filmmakers, content creators being demolished in the digital age by centralised platforms starting with Napster now Instagram, Youtube etc is a universal tragedy - I thought the point of Steemit is to bugger off all of these centralised platforms that funnel wealth up to a handful of people? It might be an old rant but I'll gladly harp on about this and stick up for anyone who I think is getting ripped off. Um yeh anyway I had no idea that you'd paid for bots. There's alot I don't know about Steemit. I presumed other users were upvoting posts they deemed of value like it says on the tin.

Thanks for the offer about helping with a viral post. I don't mind if my posts get no attention. The Tom Cruise morphing into a talking vibrator post was a bit disappointing in its lack of attention to be honest but that's life innit. What percentage of posts go viral without bots? How much time are you spending on Steemit? Are you creating your own work or mostly curating? Did you go on that recent Blockchain cruise with McAfee?

And 'half-baked rewrite etc' was a misguided critique - nothing to do with you personally. Some of your other posts are heartfelt and brillliant.
