Dear @hotsauceislethal

Thank you for sharing link to your publication with me.

Fighting with spam and spammers is never going to go well, as long as it's profitable for them to do whatever they do. The only way is to reduce their insentives to the lowest levels ever.

Bots and spam used to be great way of building followerbase in the past (mostly on platforms like instagram and fb). Those days are gone. So it's already harder for them to exist.

Since price of STEEM is constantly dropping, I can only imagine that it's not going to be profitable for anyone to invest in STEEM just do earn some small payouts from spam. At the end they would be losing their funds.

Anyway, I noticed amount of spam to be reduced greately within past few months (since hf20) and it seem that we're heading in right direction. I'm so looking forward to see how HF21 will change this platform.

Upvote on the way! :) Great read.

Yours
Piotr
