I also dislike the idea of bots for the most part. I'm somewhat open minded to it though I think it opens the doors for a lot of abuse, though on the other hand not totally sure how you could stop it without much more strict identity verification which I also would dislike..
And no worries I don't feel pressured, I just like supporting stuff that I agree with. There's another guy on here who does similar to you and i tipped him as well and I think one other person too.. So.. It's just something I like to do if I can when I come across someone doing somthing I support.
And yeah.. I hear some day they plan to sort of "free" the system entirely, so I assume that would include the whales.. Yet.. Then we'll just have different whales.. So.. Who knows.. Kinda hard to escape that entirely either, some of this stuff seems somewhat inherent in the system as long as man continues to be spiritually less evolved, though the more we evolve I think the less we'll see of predatory and unjust actions on others.
