RE: The FreeBorn Society is getting on it's horse to ride!

You make no sense. Your argument is false: not everyone only wants money. Being driven by money alone is unlikely to make you happy, it tends to lead to depression and a poor sense of mental health.

Your comprehension of what I wrote and perception of me are wrong.

I can't force the spammers to stop spamming

If you had a lot more money you could.

I can only encourage people to visit my blog instead, by constantly creating good content.

And if you had a lot more money it would have encouraged them even much more.

it's primarily a blogging platform. Not a financial market.

Bandwidth here is garnered with STEEM, the local currency.
The ability to defend your content from being downvoted to negative value and to retaliate is bought mainly with STEEM.

It is both a blogging platform and a financial market.

No. If I had 50.1% of all the steem on the market, I could project my own will onto everybody else. I believe in the right to free speech and thus cannot stop the spammers from spamming. But if I publish really good content, I'd attract more viewers – and people would move away from the spam posts, and upvote them less. If I resteem other good content, then more people will read that to. By becoming known as a publisher, and resteemer of good content I can deny the spammers.

You were wrong even this time.

However, as far as war against spam is concerned, much less than 50% of all STEEM in existence can suffice.

I believe in the right to free speech and thus cannot stop the spammers from spamming.

And this is why I believe STEEM will not last until 2024.
A recent discussion I found can make it last longer, but in the end it is still not scalable to FB dimensions even if for this reason alone.

Another example of extreme naivety and cluelessness.
Spammers need no authentic people's votes, their mastery of bidbots fueled and reinforced by self votes are enough to let them grow.
