There are more than 120 000 accounts on Steemit.
So few of them are ownership of active users that make this network alive. They have more or less original and quality contents. They are writers and heroes with their good days and bad days. That results with good posts and bad posts. A good Steemer can write a shitty post from time to time. A Steemer who is not so successful can make a good, interesting and quality post. That's how it goes, these guys support each other and that's the core of this community.
There are so many inactive accounts that had one or two posts or comments, from then, their owners do not care about them. But there are also a lot of BOTS!
Bots are obedient grey creatures and they don't need to think about anything, just follow their leader. In the most cases, their leader is an active user. Bots do not have their opinion, they are programmed to follow their leader and support whatever he supports. And bots are very happy about it, they don't need to make decisions . They are deeply convinced that they make all active users accounts happy and their digital souls are satisfied with that. Maybe it doesn't happen always but, face it, it is nice to see a large number of upvotes on your posts.
One day, the bots noticed that their owner started to rush things.
But they didn't complain about anything, they served their master and supported whatever he supported. That was the BOT life and they were pretty happy about it!
So, few days later they were all waiting in the long line to upvote the posts that their master has ordered.
But when the turn came on the one particular bot, the connection was lost!
All bots surrounded that particular bot and asked him:
"What just happened in the moment of your upvote?"
"I didn't want to upvote this!", the bot answered showing on the post, "I don't like this post!"
That made all other bots to freak out! They were all shocked. After they calmed down, they asked him:
"You read posts?"
"Yes, I do! I read them all the time and I am tired of upvoting meaningless and stupid posts like this one!", he answered.
"Booooriiiiing!", they were mocking on him.
"It is not boring! Posts of users are great, you can learn many things from them! Or they can make you laugh! You should all read the posts!", he said.
Bots were very surprised with his reaction and couldn't say anything on his words, because they knew that posts should be read! So, he continued with his speech:
"And I noticed that this post is very rude and inappropriate for this friendly network! Read it, each of you, and you'll see!"
Some bots did what he said and told the others:
"He is telling the truth."
And then, they could see the truth. But the bot who didn't like the post started to talk about crazy theories how he and them maybe can "turn blue", how maybe they can become active users! Then, he saw that he crossed the line and just concluded:
"I think that our owner lately doesn't read posts at all! He just upvotes some users that he used to upvote without checking their content!"
In that moment, the owner of bots noticed that this bot didn't upvote the post.
That made that active user very mad and he forced the bot to upvote. So, the brave bot had to upvote post he didn't even like!
Posts like this make me want to read every post
