When my bot votes that is the reply it makes. I sent a vote from my bot on your post and resteemed it.

Sort:  

Please stop spamming the network with your bot comments. You're a witness. You should be protecting the blockchain, not bloating it with spam.

But how else would we ever know you can delegate to his bot and receive subsidized APR from his witness block rewards?

Which is better: supporting witnesses who buy votes compared to those who have the best interests of the network in mind and are elected freely based on the value they bring?

I was being sarcastic, hehe, sorry for not making that more clear.

And no one really asked, but I'm of the camp that thinks that we have seen little to no naturalistic growth since 2016 (we've floated up with a rising tide of USDT and EURT-backed wash trading on a single exchange that's been known to be shady and yet we still underperformed many other coins) and have made little to no progress in changing any of the things that deter people who aren't desperate for a crypto faucet.

I'm happily waiting for the temporary collapse, because we'll be able to see who was just here for the rewards, which will be most, and maybe some will stay but a lot will become more inactive on the whole. If we start setting ourselves up for success now, then we can achieve a faster recovery and more stable growth in users, activity, and investment if we make the platform more worthwhile for actual people to use. If we don't, and a combination of hubris/greed continues to cripple the platform, we will see a long, slow death of our chances to ever secure a top spot on any of those metrics.

I figured you might have been, but I wanted to use it as an excuse to put my thoughts out there anyway. :)

When you say "the platform" do you mean Steemit or STEEM? Remember, STEEM is not Steemit. I think we're going to see a big spike in STEEM price once SMTs launch and more companies get onboard.

No problem, I do the same all the time, including this time.

I guess I'm saying the whole STEEM ecosystem, its top-heaviness alone would be a reasonable deterrent for many potential dev teams looking at different platforms to build on top of. This issue isn't relegated to just STEEM, lots of coins have bad distributions.
