RE: Human trafficking & personal experiences!
Sure, I am inclined to agree they are apples and oranges and there is a little more nuance to that former situation due to the automation aspect.
We wouldn't have batted an eye if it was maybe one or two of those @homsys posts but he was cranking them out many times a day and using a vote farming system.
Basically, one of those, if you upvote me, I'll pay you which leads to a lot of people blockchain fuckery. Would be great if minnows, redfish and plankton upvoted each other instead of scheming sons of bitches like that. My litmus test for flagging guys like that is I imagine if everybody was doing what they are doing, would Steem fail. I think the answer to that is indisputably yes. Vote farming schemes must be contained or it will spread like a cancer.
Anyways, I'm glad we at least we agree in one thing. The "Thanks" guy should be flagged. Guess we can agree to disagree on the other shit.
Why this guy got under my skin, is the blatant piss take if you like, with the 1% vote on my post giving me 0 cents, and his 100% upvote on his shitty comment.
When I landed on here last December that happened to me a lot, and it is discouraging, so yes, I am full agreement that people like him need to be kept in check, as they will ruin this place for new people, and only lead to a take take take mentality.
