I try my best to be fair and accurate when I am not using humor to make a point. I saw a lot of the word "spambot" being thrown around and not used the proper way I understand it to be used. It just seems weird that people are claiming to have been labeled falsely and then turning around only to misuse the term "spambot" in a counter-accusation.
The 2 bots that you own are pushing people away from Steem. Like holovision said " It just seems weird that people are claiming to have been labeled falsely and then turning around only to misuse the term "spambot" in a counter-accusation." The reason why is they don't understand that's its a bot. They think its a human person that harasses them and causes them to leave steem. One of the females in "Photography section" were targeted by the bot are slightly scared and cause them not to post freely. You're hindering growth community wise. I don't know if you review all the posts that bots flag at all or don't know how to program it. Spend an extra 200k on hiring a proper developing team to create a spam bot.
Obviously anybody who labels @badcontent a "spambot" knows it is a bot. They just place the bot in the wrong category. I can see a problem though with the @badcontent bot making a reply on posts whose author clearly is using english as a second language. An english speaker can understand the nuance and infer that it is someone's bot. I think users not as skilled with english tend to read it literally as something official from steemit and when they realize it's not official their misunderstanding tends to make them feel deceived and tricked.
Add in the fact spammers don't like being called spammers.
Those people are pretty weird sometimes. A few times when I see @cheetah identify a steemit post as similar to an internet article I go look at the internet article and the only real difference between the two is the title. Are there people on steemit who really believe changing the title somehow changes the whole article? That must be it because that's the only way I can rationalize why that happens.
When you add a financial reward to every action on a platform, people will do anything to get some of it, and even more to protect it.
Why is it considered acceptable to post 1-2 a day?
