This is a very good response, but actions speak louder than words.
I hope you are not just shuffling the #spamcard to the bottom of the deck to be used later. If people decide to accept your plea, there will not be any third chances, I am pretty sure of that!
Peace
Everyone sees bot upvotes differently and if majority consider bot upvotes a spam then I am sorry to say that whales created this spam. Everyone on steemit here is to get some rewards.
Now if there will be rules like what to post and what not to post. You need to write an essay type post etc then how we will call it a social media platform ? How it will be called decentralized if whales want to control it ?
Peace here as well
