Okay i must tell you that the experience you highlighted there was very sleazy, but do you know what's more sleazy, someone copying my exact comment, and upvoting it so it goes above mine and seems like i copied, oh oh, i was very upset. I didnt flag though i warned
Like i said, anyone who does not like to read cannot stay on steemit, and the importance of reading to reply instead of reading to understand cannot be over emphasised
Sometimes i wonder what keeps these spammers spamming, but then i realise some people actually encourage it by upvoting them because they are more concerned with other things. This as well is bad for the community
Relying only on the big accounts to grow the platform and provide rewards is very risky, as we can witness currently. This is a community and it requires a community at all levels to work toward an improved future
Essentially
You are too nice. Don't think anyone will steal my comments though. I am more concerned about grammar and spelling replying To Taraz as I know he is picking up all the mistakes as he reads them. I can see how some don't get picked up straight away as Taraz must spend hours each day replying. Not many people would do that. Replying to everyone must take as long as writing the post and in some cases longer.
I flag them if I recognise them.
It is a numbers game where they know that some number of their nonsense will attract a lazy or tired eye. There are some large accounts who don't care so upvote all to get more numbers in. pathetic.
I wonder though, if i was only a large investor, and i had no idea about these practices, maybe the numbers game is a misconception for me and i dont know the implications of it or any other of my action here have i done wrong?
Yes
I feel it is every investors(large or small) responsibility to ensure they acquire proper knowledge of the platform they are investing in, as the success of their investment immensely depends on the success of the platform. So as not to damage the whole place because of ignorance.
It is the responsibility of us all to consider what we are getting paid for, and how it happens.
