RE: Thinking about tomorrow, today. Reinvest and Power-Up!
So a 'savvy' user from the third world should be'savvy' enough to put 6 months pay into promoting a blog? The use of bots is growing exponentially, and somehow if you think focusing wealth into these services is healthy for steem and makes it appealing to the average social media user, well - we just aren't going to agree on that. @grumpycat is striking fear into the hearts of the users trying to game the system, knowing that they could lose their ROI with one flag. Unfortunately, when greed is rampant, it is only consequences like these that can cause change.

The community is pretty sure @grumpycat is not the user's only account. There is a network perhaps a guild of accounts. It's all just round-robin upvoting and reward pool abuse. They like to refer to it as SBD correction. I'm sure you can do your own research on this.
I am glad someone else here saw that. I didn't want to start a whole thread based on @grumpycats 'hidden account' that he upvotes as 'sbd correction', or 'placeholder'/
So, speaking of stealing from the rewards pool... He likes to make an example out of someone making $100-$200 on a bidbot, when with that money they generally reinvest via powering up. Or they use it to boost their future blogs. At least the funds tend to stay on the platform.
Meanwhile, with his 3 million dollar account, he powers down and rapes the pool by hidden selfvoting.
Meh.
