This is not a fucking proof of stake blockchain, it sure kinda looks like it now with all the ROI from bots and other services we have but that will hopefully change soon and bring back some kind of content discovery and distribution to effort.
I sincerely hope people will wake up and stop looking the other way. Count me in!
Let me ask you a question. When you see shit like this, who is the real the problem here?

Yeah it's easy to spot him here: https://steemit.com/payout_comments
unfortunately it's hard for spaminator and other stakeholders to nullify those rewards, bid bot owners need to block them from using their services.
Good link! That is eye opening.
That's eye opening, that's small potatoes compared to this guy I wrote about five days ago, he was close to a couple thousand in less than a couple weeks of showing back up on the platform...since I posted that five days ago he's bid bot himself another 1,232.16 worth on his post which aren't worth the content he's producing. Since my critique he's went to adding one more paragraph but still the content isn't worth what is claimed for it. He must be someone mighty big on the platform that no one steps up to tell him he is way overboard on what he thinks his content is worth. Over the course of the next few weeks you watch he'll be right back up there bidding this stuff out for near a thousand dollars an article just like he was doing before he took a hiatus for a couple months.

I'll also add the insidious thing about my example is he snipes rewards as the period expires, so it's harder to get a downvote in. He's not interested in promoting himself as opposed to chbartist, not that I agree with that either.

Great post! I drop in on him from time to time with some downvotes.
