Hey @cryptographic, thanks for the post. While I'm clear on the message re Steem and BTS, I can't understand why the tone of your post has surprisingly changed. All previous posts from you were more than friendly and nice. This one looks a little bit tough. Although I understand that bots and people hunting for the comment upvote might be annoying, but you've been right in the same situation during all recent posts. Has smth seriously changed? Am I misinterpreting this post emotional background? I just want to understand your postition on things that are going on is STEEM community (your opinion is main authority for me).
It's an in-your-face post (with embedded content of value that bots can't read or understand). It's meant to be direct and harsh. Sometimes you've got to ruffle some feathers. Not all the "idiot" posts are bots! If people don't realize the harm they are doing, how can they possibly change? Sometimes you've got to be direct, even if it hurts. And you can help ease the pain by "focusing" mainly on the "bots".
I'm going to start campaigning for a BLOCK function for Steemit - we should be able to moderate our own posts and ban unwanted users!
PS Don't read too much into it - just took advantage of the underlying subject matter - self-inflicted stupidity - to vent some of my irritation with so much nonsense. Lots of plays on words, metaphors, and indirect commentaries involved too. Just me, just today, saying WAKE UP!
