RE: With GREAT POWER - comes GREAT RESPONSIBILITY: NO MORE SPAM!

@smartsteem
I have written a few posts moaning about this, lol I say "moaning" in the nicest possible way, but really it gets a bit tedious when you spend hours and days and sometimes even months setting up a post and you write your heart out, and then you get 2 cents, if even that. Then you scout scroll about and find post that make no sense have no content no pictures no video no effort and they earn $100's. I usually take out my tissues after seeing that and cry myself to sleep.

But alas seems we may have a super hero at hand to save the day. thank you for great initiative and best of luck evening the playing field by rooting out the weeds.

stay blessed

Hey @michaeljn,

I know what you mean! Let me quote what I wrote earlier:

While much of this is subjective - sometimes a meme can be worth a lot of money - but not when it's simply copy, pasted from the web. Sadly, that's what mainstream-media is currently telling people to do - as this earns the most money in the traditional sense (through adsense etc.)

But STEEM (incl Steemit, Busy etc.) is something different - and thus we also have to act different. Originality is the most important part.

It's not difficult to create a script which creates 4 posts every day under the technical analysis scheme about a random altcoin and then makes transfers to bid-bots based on bid apis.

So that's what we, as bot and service-leaders/owners have to be aware of.

Thank you, great points and thank you for taking the bull by the horns somewhat, I guess someone has to do it.

I however will continue con my quest for decent content and pursuit of my own expression, regardless of the reward, if you happen to wonder by, a tip of the hat would be greatly appreciated.

stay blessed

PS. Sometime when discouraged, I slide into a feeble attempt, but i realise now that I should not succumb to meritocracy, and try to maintain a relatively, at the least, good standard. :-)
