Meme War: Grumpy Cat vs The-Resistance

in #meme8 years ago (edited)

For those who don't know, there is a feud between @grumpycat and @the-resistance. In short, grumpycat flags users who use bad bots (for example, bots that upvote posts after 3.5 days). He then comments exactly why he flagged them to warn them about the bot, along with a recommendation on other bots to use (usually he points them to the steem bot tracker). So in the end, he flags with good intentions, since he is providing a solution to the problem bot-abuse. Sounds fair right? Well... apparently not to the-resistance. They think it's morally wrong to flag smaller users since they will be losing money.

So because of this, they had the "brilliant" idea that grumpy-cat should just upvote everyone who doesn't use these bad bots.

Yeah... that sounds really smart. And just for that "genius" idea, I made a meme in honor of the-resistance:

I think that is self-explanatory.

I would like to point out that once someone joins steemit, they accept the chance that someone will flag your content which will cause you to lose some rewards.

"but meme-nexus I wost mah .01 SBD since they fwagged me that is unfware peepol shuld nawt fwag me"

Look buddy nobody likes being flagged, but if you are that upset about it like @the-resistance is, maybe you should go back to twitter or tumblr where there are no rewards for content. You're tears will fit right in with the general populace there.

The thing is, @the-resistance claims to be helping the community... by restricting people from using flags? Once again, these are people claiming to support freedom by limiting freedom.

This reminds me of some "resistance" groups in the real world. If you think about it, they have the same mindset of (safety>freedom). In this case, smaller accounts being protected from being flagged.

But like my man Benjamin Franklin said:

If you liked what you saw, like and subscribe. If not, don't, but you will be missing out on a lot of great content. I don't just spam stolen memes, I write full on articles regarding memes, and any memes that I post or are in any of my other blogs are either 100% original or used with permission. Here's a generic picture link to my channel:

benjamin franklin was rich and only 1 son and dealt mainly with french prostitutes for the 2nd half of his life.

Parents of low means actually make that decision of a little freedom for financial stability all the ti me. It's the premise of the repub;ocan party on following their leaders when they do wrong, And it is the premise of the Democratic party when they overcompensate for past injustices against parties which had noting to do with it,,,

amen to the ben franklin quote!
