WELL SAID!
It's funny I just came across your post because I was just finished downvoting someone that stole photos from websites claiming it was her own to submit to one of the photo contests here. I'm gonna exercise my right to flag posts more often instead of ignoring them.
But to be honest, ever since I found people to follow, it decreased the amount of shitposts I have to go through. One thing that does annoy me are people that write generic comments like "nice post! upvoted and followed!" or these fuckin people that only read the title of my post and make a comment solely based on that. It's so damn clear they didn't read anything.
Good Comment you are good Steemit...jk... yeah I totally know what you mean about the bot comments. The other week @emmyem84 I think it was had a post about people not paying attention to posts, if I remember correctly, and I was reading some of the comments on it and they were junk comments on a post about junk comments, the irony was comical. I joked she should downvote them but she's too nice lol. She's does good content check her out.
Yeah lately I've also been on kind of a goodwell mission spending my time and my votes trying to clean some stuff up.
I think your right, I think you have to put in some legwork finding people you enjoy and people with similar interests, follow them, and keep everything targeted so you don't get lost in the brush. Busy.org helps me a bit as well in terms of a bit of an improved searchability. I'd love to see groups implemented somehow.
Thanks again buddy, your killing it on here keep it going.
LOL, I am nice...but who knows how ill be after 6 more months of the spam comments. I could be a whole new person by then :D
I started flagging some of the spammers and now they are trolling my posts lol...
Sorry for the vulgarity but just showing these spammers true colors.
LOL Your warning was not sufficient enough!! I literally spit out my coffee all over my laptop... UGH can you get some help from steemcleaners? :/
