RE: @grumpycat, Why Did You Upvote My Anti-Grumpycat Post?
@anthonyadavisii, here is the original article that he upvoted. If you look in the comments he admitted why he upvoted that article. If you really believe that what he is doing is good, why would he get off on the bad publicity? You'd think one would want to be applauded for his virtuous acts.
@grumpycat was most likely being facetious with the bad publicity comment. They are making light of a serious issue. Regardless, I am more concerned with the impact vs the motive.
Grumpy was successful in bringing down a bid bot abuser from a 48 to 46 reputation today. I had been working on them for a couple days and posted to the community a flag rewards campaign to help take them down with little support which is sad tbh. That scammer gained 2 rep by continued abuse but GC stopped them dead in their tracks. That's virtue right there. When a community is too chicken shit to handle the problem facing us all but instead give resources to those that perpetuate that problem (by supporting the problem bots), @grumpycat is a breath of FRESH AIR!
Creating quality posts does not absolve you of the wrongdoing of supporting these bots. GC is correcting the problem and it's not his fault for those that CHOOSE to be entangled in it.
Be responsible, @snowpea, to your investment and to mine. Stop paying the abuse enablers and we just might be able to get a handle on this EVER GROWING problem on Steem. If not, watch those investments get flushed down the toilet!
