The whole Internet is a big spam. You think you can eliminate or control spam, you are delusional. Second, I can assure you your dear steemit will end up with less than 500,000 users by the end of this year because people like you who go out of his way to harass other users. If they want to post spam so what. The internet should be free and people like you should find something better to do than to try to control spam. pfff delusional
In the same way you control spam then have a look at @welcoming that crap falls exactly on what you call service comments
Many witnesses have already upgraded their servers to 64GB RAM. Those running RPC nodes are contemplating the leap from 256GB to 512GB of memory. RAM & SSD drives are not cheap.
Whether your talking about the cost or ideology.. I suggest you create and run your own site or fork your own version of STEEM/steemit.com. You'll have about as much luck convincing the majority of the community that are stakeholders that steemit.com should be a place where 'anything goes' and that all content should get rewarded as you would convincing Twitter, Facebook, or other social media sites. If it was going to happen I think the ability to flag would have been removed from the block chain already.
Well as a witness they already get their 10% of the split you want me to build them a temple since they buy ssds for the common good with no interest whatsoever in further filling their pockets. You really are an angel, the angel of Steemit.
All seriously they are already being rewarded more than generously. Also SSDS are becoming cheaper and cheaper, not the opposite.
You seem like a smart guy, you should know better your steemcleaners are a futile intent to stop the unstopable. Without spam, 60% of all steemit traffic will simply vanish. If you really want to stop spam why dont you go after the spam accounts aka bots?
Perhaps because your only intention is not to stop spam but to bring more revenue to yourself. You know that spam is what keeps steemit alive. Anyway, sick of this platform after two weeks, only liers, and cheaters, no good content at all. Anything here can be found anywhere else.
Anyone with a little of common sense would realize what's going on. Here we have a culture that encourages and rewards cheating. Yes, bots are cheating and anyone with the time to open several accounts can build a bot army with basic coding knowledge. Add a few thousand dollars of steem power and we have a whale in no time. Depending on your time and financial situation may be worth it. Not for me, thank god I have better things in life
Would be surprised if it grows more as it seems from now on is downfall. Good luck since it seems you are really invested in this. This was a good experiment but it's going nowhere not because deep flaws in the system but because of the people at the top who made what could have been a great platform a scamit. I assure you if more people knew what really goes on here, this platform would crash and burn very quickly
Again: why don't you leave steemit then? There seems to be no reason for staying. At least for you. You can be happy that you didn't fall for it and leave us alone burning our investments into steem.
In your place it seems to work pretty good since your spam is hidden after downvotes. And some might have said fighting against the segregation in the United States is delusional. But did it work in the end? More or less. It's getting better all the time but it's not delusional.
