RE: Almost All the Bigger Bid Bots Are Making Max Post Age To 3.5 Days
There's no data that shows bots changed their max age due to @grumpycat. Further, there is data that suggests some bots were going to change even before @grumpycat existed.
Last I checked there are 0 bots claiming to be grumpy compliant. That is none are using the seal of @grumpycat or attributing any changes to @grumpycat.
Sure @grumpycat stirred up a lot of bad feelings and stole a bunch of innocent people's earnings while at the same time rewarding those abusing bots. Let's not forget that @grumpycat used 6th day voting bots even after announcing how bad they are. However, this is nothing that suggest bots altered max age because of this.
This is the equivalent of a primitive race worshiping an idol because it appeared the same day a drought ended.

Dude, I have noticed these changes coz of @grumpycat coming into this.
Before that I didn't notice anything.
Whatever @grumpycat is doing it's upon him, but you can't steal this credit from him.
grumpycat is a monster, and doesn't deserve you kissing his ass. he flags innocent accounts under the guise of "morality", and anyone stupid enough to support him clearly can't see the big picture and the real damage that grumpycat is causing. Or you do see the real problems, but you just keep stroking grumpys ego in hopes that he will upvote you.
Let's also not forget the disgusting selfvoting behavior of grumpycat, rewarding himself over 160 dollars in an upvote for BULLYING A PROJECT DESIGNED TO WELCOME NEW USERS TO THE PLATFORM.
Regardless of if he helped the problem with the bots or not, that is a completely separate issue. This type of self voting is right up there with the shitty behavior of @checkthisout, @rewardpoolrape and @ieatrewards. This whole "crusade against the bots" is just a thin veil designed to blind people to the real damage that he is causing, under the pretense of "I'm just trying to help the platform". If he wanted to help the platform, then he would actually LOOK at the accounts that he is flagging. We aren't all scammers and spammers. If he cared, he would try to reach out to some of these innocent people instead of blindly flagging EVERYONE for doing something that he himself is guilty of.....
