0.001 SBD helps people? That'll only help him right now ;-)
He wants to be wittness (or is currently), then he should also be careful not to spam the network. These are clearly spamer tactics. he could have just written a post or build his community in other ways.
This tactic threatens the network, you wonder why your bandwidth is going down? because of such actions. this also concerns you, too and all of us. he's wittness, then he knows that.
I mean the difference is, it's spam if it's unsolicited and unwanted. That is what spam is. Because you are in control of receiving it by unfollowing me. It isn't spam. It's like you subscribing to a newsletter by following me. I honestly don't think that once a month these transactions threaten the blockchain. It may not extremely "help" people, but it positively impacts a lot of people and yes it helps me share my content, HOWEVER... most of my content is written to help and educate and I am mostly targetting minnows so I'm not profiting or doing it to be malicious. I've done this ever since I started and only you and one other person have ever complained. This leads me to believe the sentiment towards this is positive. Like I said I will make a post where we can all discuss it and if people make it clear that this is an issue I will stop. You can make your case on that post.
I've personally never had a problem with bandwidth. I don't think I've ever seen mine below 90%. And personally AND HUMBLY, I believe, if this tiny of an action threatens the network, I'd say what a weak network to begin with. I do see your point, and I understand where you are coming from. I guess my question is... Was it okay when he did it before, just not now specifically because he's a witness. I am still relatively new here so I ask questions not to anger anyone, but just to learn. Over the course of the last couple of weeks I've really had my eyes open to alot of the problems Steemit has. At first I thought it was this wonderful Community that was going to usher in the future of social Everything...any more, half the time I seriously consider abondoning ship.😞
That's rough man, I think if we stick it out and help impact and influence it like I'v been trying we can make it something amazing like we envisioned
