Kudos to you for speaking your mind, but I personally don't like and won't respect @charitybot.
1.) He's creating low-quality posts - primarily memes and some weird content which is missing formatting.
2.) There is no roadmap to which charities the received rewards are going to be given out. And I'm not even talking about proof that this will actually happen.
3.) He is acting like an internet-troll from the last century with all his LOL and ROFL.
4.) All of his text is full of swearing, which also displays that he has actually no clue about what he is ranting about. Pumping from one exchange should be the only reason for the price-increase of STEEM? Do you even know about SMT's?
And a personal message:
@charitybot - if you want to be taken seriously, put some work into your posts. Because right now - there is NO reason why I should give YOU any rewards at all.
Oh and
I like how people say that steem is getting more decentralized, how the whale group got smaller and other groups got bigger recently. No, you dumb fuckers, that's called cashing out. They have cashed the fuck out and you are holding the bag. And you aren't even supposed to be holding the fucking bag, some idiot on Upbit is. Sell your shit while you have a chance, for a couple of reasons.
Why the f* are you on STEEM then if you believe that this is a sinking ship?
Please note that I am simply defending myself here, I was actually not aware that any of this was going on or being said until very recently. Not trying to stir up any more shit, I'm just trying to clarify some things. I'm posting this mostly for the sake of anyone else who is unaware of what's going on right now. I don't hate steemit as much as people might like to believe, I want us to have a better user experience in the future and don't want people to be surprised at what happens in the markets when certain things come to pass.
Quality is subjective, I wanted to help create some memes of decent quality, so I did. I eventually created an alt account when I read a post that I could and should do that. Maybe you're talking about some of my entries for writing contests? The writing, not the formatting, was the focal point of those posts, and, hey, not to brag or anything but I at least won or placed a few times.
I literally invited people to recommend charities to get voted on in my last UBI post. I am one person with one opinion and have not been here a long time so I asked people to help me out with that one. How my voting power would be divided up and used was detailed in another post.
I live under a bridge, so this one is true.
Do we even Upbit bro? Look at SBD volume on exchanges. Steem is a little better, but not by much. Please educate yourself on the Tether situation, their massive printing leading up to and accelerating in December and collusion with Bitfinex to raise prices, how the price skyrocketed after SBD/Steem were listed on Upbit near the end of November, how Upbit price action leads the rest of the market, yadda yadda so on and so forth.
Coinmarketcap's SBD volume
1 Upbit SBD/KRW $39,575,000 $5.32 95.20% Recently
2 Upbit SBD/BTC $1,047,560 $5.16 2.52% Recently
3 Bittrex SBD/BTC $916,809 $5.13 2.21% Recently
4 Poloniex SBD/BTC $30,671 $5.02 0.07% Recently

I'm not saying that Steem or SBD don't have intrinsic value to the users here, I'm saying that the prices have become decoupled because of outside forces over which we have little control. I am simply trying to make users aware of these situations as they unfold. I believe that steemit users would be better served if they have this knowledge at their disposal, instead of being surprised as hell and wondering what happened if we simply ignore the issues and blindly cheer about prices being elevated.
I don't really know him all that well, I heard he got off to a rough start and seems a bit overly aggressive, but
He's memes are actually some of the better quality ones which I have curated over on #decentmemes. Sure, many other bigger users who write posts with more content may have an alt account where they fool around and try out zapps or memes because they don't want to abuse autovotes on their "short-content". Generalizing someone as a "low quality" poster because they post memes seems a bit harsh though and not something I believe Steem is about considering quality is pretty subjective in general and most of us have a vote-slider to reward content depending on quality, length and depth.
Again, I didn't even have time to read this post in full length but disagreeing with someone just because you glance over his account and notice he posts memes sounded a bit wrong to me so I had to write this.
@acidyo
I understand what you're saying and it's not about the memes for me. I should have put that point at the bottom, because the main reason I wrote this comment was due to the fact, how much hate @charitybot has for the plattform.
Let me quote:
and
Steem is not perfect and def. has some flaws, but he pretty much attacks everyone on the plattform - even you - and I believe that's not ok.
I simply mentioned the memes because he is acting as if he's the next Steemit messiahs and is trying to bring good to Steemit by giving back to charities, but does that without any real effort.
Haha, yeah he seems to have some issues. :D Wouldn't be the first newcomer to come to those terms and overreact about short-term price, there were many of those around during $0,10-1 prices too. ^^
But yeah, like I said I didn't really read the post but I remembered reading some of the comments on the original way back. Even people like him who come off overly aggressive and emotional in comments do bring some sort of value to the platform and I'm hoping that in the future people will lay off downvoting comments due to disagreement and instead reward those they side with more so the readers can judge on their own. Plus that way it won't give them an excuse to shout "censorship" as their last resort even though we all know that nothing can get censored here no matter how flagged the comments/posts get.
There are a lot of these types of posts, by many people ... I am with you on low content @therealwolf! Stop with the gifs, bad grammar, and lazy writing people.
Good point too about whether he left or not? According to the reading above, he cashed out then it says let's see if he does?
I'm with ya Wolfy... This so-called "charity-bot" maybe made 2 good points out of the first 8 or 10 so I went all TL:DR about 1/2 way thru. Excessive fucking cursing gets old, anyway. As you can see I'm not totally against it, but excessive cursing just drowns out any possible "message"... and there was precious little of that. Some, not much.
WORD!
You have to admit though, he was entertaining.
Plus, I hope circle jerking, boiler room selling, ostriches that stick their hand in the sand even when it comes to them read this though.
