Thanks for the update.... and for all the work you do to help keep the site "clean." It is a massive task, I am sure... even with some of the other anti-spam, anti-fraud initiatives now starting to work. So a sincere thanks for that... 20 years of content creation on sites similar to this tells me Steemit would be an utter mess (and NOT attractive to newcomers!) without efforts to contain the garbage.
I certainly hope Cheetah continues to be viable... I toss a few upvotes her way when I come across her; I just hope others do, as well. If volume continues to rise... then what? CheetahToo?
Thanks for the support! :)
Really, for keeping Cheetah going the hope is that activity correlates with price. If the volume of posts doubles, but the price of steem doubles, then the cost of running her can still be paid by the logs. If the volume doubles and the price halves, we're in trouble.
In terms of the posting limit, I've been lobbying to get rid of the 20 second comment limit, and do a better job for the bandwidth limitations. So, a low steem power noob might spam a bunch of comments rapidly, but would eat all their bandwidth and couldn't post for a while while recharging. Cheetah I can just keep with high steem power, and have enough bandwidth to do all the posting she requires.
