Wow, congratulations on your 2 year anniversary! I had heard of Steem when it first launched, but I remember thinking that it wasn't for me as I had never written or blogged about anything before.

Now, I'm enjoying it quite a bit! An unexpected thing, a pity I didn't get on earlier, but that's how it goes!

Glad you guys set up the @classical-music stuff! I never would have dared to do anything like that!

Thank you for all you have done for the classical music category! Before you know it, you will be in the exact same position that I am in today (if not better off). You are quite good at what you do here on Steemit!

Sounds like you've had a couple of great years.

You were one of the first people to make me feel welcome here a year ago and I'll always be grateful for that.

Thank you @winstonalden! I am glad to have met you! I hope you and your wife are still doing well!

Congratulations for completing two years on #steemit, Looks like your steemit journey had many ups and down, but it is the way steemit and our life works. I am here for 6 months and I'm happy with the progress i made <3

wish you good luck for the upcoming years @cmp2020

Thank you! 6 months is a great achievement. It means that you are committed and here to stay. You are already better off in the long run than you were 6 months ago and then many people will ever be. For that, I congratulate you!

Hi there @cmp2020 , after two year on Steemit, how does your view about voting-bots has changed or evolved?

Can you talk about this?

In current state of things, do you agree with this:

?

Waiting to hear from you,
thanks!

See you around!

b.b.

I do not think of voting bots in the same way that this meme depicts. I think anyone can succeed at curating and a bot is only as good as his programmer and the investment that went in to creating him. Bots distribute author rewards and hold a stake. This means that they do bring value to the platform. Thank you for this insightful meme.

I have a hard time to agree with that. Bot owners -in general- do have a big stake, but they are not using it to "curate" the platform. In fact, they are 'selling' their vote power - in blatant detriment to the "Proof of Brain"concept, which is the heart of "fair distribution of pool rewards".

If you sell your vote to anyone wiling to buy -in order to promote low quality content- the "Proof of Brain" is destroyed. Rewards are not going to feed the producers of "good content".

Well, this is my current view... I keep thinking a lot about this, also reading here and there.

Indeed, there is a relevant fraction of the Steemit community discussing this theme.

Thanks for your inputs!

See you bro,

Oh hey congratulations on reaching 2 years here! It looks like it's been an amazing time for you. I'd like to thank you and your dad for the bots. I appreciate the upvotes. Thanks again. (^_^)

Thank you! If our bots are voting for you, you have earned it! Thanks again!

Awww. That's really nice. ❤️

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

yes right i think you always right ^_^ i happy you reply me

Congratulations on your anniversary. Here's a comment to test steemauto comment voting.

And here's another comment.

Oh yes, it's a big day mate!
Many many congratulation and happy steeming!

Thank you very much!

Congrats to those two years! Impressive how many initiatives and ideas you've started. I've been around for roughly 5 months now and it has been quite of a journey already. What i like here, is the room for complex thoughts, just like your commentary series. That's something you don't really find on other platforms.

Thank you! Yes, this platform presents a quality unheard of before it (except maybe reddit). This platform has room for long detailed posts as well as short "tweets," which is one of the things I love about it. Anyway, 5 months is also an achievement! Good luck in your future endeavors!

Nice post, very interesting to see the change from your point of view. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much!

steemit is the best platform and congratulation!!

Thanks! I agree somewhat. I left my reasoning for using Busy.org in this article. But Steemit is also a great platform!

Congratulations to you @cmp2020 for your 2 years anniversary....you have done well for yourself...greater height for you i pray

Thank you! I pray the same for you!

congrats buddy for this huge achievement.

@cmp2020 congrats on completing 2 years on Steemit. and happy journey for future on Steemit.

Thank you! Likewise!

congratulations for completing your 2 years in steem...have a great journey on it

Thanks! Likewise!

Very interesting reading the anniversary post of one who has been "at it," for 2 years @cmp2020.

"... I think one of the biggest changes to the Steem platform this year has been the overwhelming amount of new users that found Steem."

Yes, I might be considered one of those. Not sure what brought me to your attention, but your post came to my attention due to your choosing to read my recent post. While I started simply as an investor, I decided to get more involved on May 14th. Learning as I go, I've learned SteemWorld is a great tool to keep track of what is happening.

Now I can find out more about my fellow Steemians. And find encouragement, as I've done with your post here, from those who have "blazed the trail" a bit ahead of those we all hope will follow.

Now following. Thanks again @cmp2020! 👍
