"A really nasty attitude"? Nowhere in his replies to you or anywhere else has @crypto.piotr displayed a "nasty attitude." Actually, it's not in his nature to do so.
As for "spam," it's the quality that counts. I get spammed after every one of my posts by various resteem services. They're annoying, but now I just ignore them.
As for Piotr's memos, at least they have some substance and are well intentioned. And they are definitely not "blatant, self-aggrandizing marketing ploys." Quite the opposite, most of Piotr's memos are intended to benefit others, NOT HIMSELF. That's a simple verifiable fact, as many others are affirming.
If you do not like his memos, please ... just ignore them. And please rest assured that he is not out to take advantage of anyone on this platform. Many of us can confirm that.
“Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.” That’s from Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamming Nothing said at all about “quality.” Unsolicited messages are unsolicited messages. Furthermore, clogging up the nodes with spam transactions or using wallets as email services is a practice completely without foresight. HF20 effectively reduced content spam. Thanks to folks like y’all, HF21 may have to address wallet spam. As for the comment spam, well—there is always the downvote option.
Each day, there are currently over 50,000 posts made. And you're worried that a handful of short memos by Piotr will "clog up the nodes."
Rest assured, they won't. But there will always be plenty of shitposts that will do much more clogging than his memos ever can or will.
As for the "spam," Piotr does not use a "messaging system" (cf. Wikipedia)
No. He abuses our wallet feature instead. And that makes it better, somehow?
Are you familiar with MIRA, by any chance? And the reason for it?
OK, you've convinced me. Piotr's memos will bring about the end of this wonderful, blockchain-based enterprise, which will crack under the burden imposed by them.
And just when we thought we could save the world. Damn!
You didn't answer my question. Are you familiar with MIRA?
Yes. Why?
