I have invited over some of my friends to try the Steem platform and one thing they immediately noticed was the number of bots currently in place.
Their introductory post alone got 5+ comments all from bots, the rude part is that most of those comment "greetings" are being self-upvoted or upvoted by some large account. Personally I think for a newbie just trying to test out this platform, I think it is not nice to see that a comment on your post gets more payout than you.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that, a lot of people now are just looking for things to justify their own greed.
exactly and i remember when i first enter i had made a half bad intro post, i never uploaded a picture of my face, just a drawing :P with the date and stuff to verify my existence in an extend and then i had a bunch of comments all by actual people that welcomed me and giving me tips. how cool is to see that you are welcomed and that people are willing to help you without knowing you only by what you wrote and we have what you mentioned :P
