@themarkymark Why not run off of a whitelist? Every bot owner contribute some time or sbd to see its operation. That Steem Power that buildawhale grows is your nest egg and payment. If we do what's right and promote a clean healthy Steemit, then the price of Steem will go up(to $3,$4 or maybe even $10). That is your compensation for the time and work investment now.

If however, you have NO longterm faith in Steem or Steemit, we can all ignore the spam and just grab all the cash we can atm and try and be the first to bail when the ship gets overrun by rats and starts going down.
