RE: Bots are bad
I was surprised to see a bot introduced last week whose only function was to re-post content from "it's parent website". This is a popular site, very similar to the Dan Bilzerian following. It surprised me see that here. Free thinkers, artists, poets, photographers, financial "prophets", bloggers, vlogers, homesteaders, off-griders, anarchists, political commentators, social champions, etc, I thought this was their holy ground, free of censorship and being ostracized for having different views. However, when there are financial rewards, and in certain cases, penalties, then we must look at the men/women behind the green curtain to find their motivation. It's easy to pull the trigger when you are thousands of miles away cloaked behind a wall of secrecy built by ones and zeros. It is much harder to extinguish the embodiment of a thought in person, belly to belly, toe to toe and eye to eye.
