I would like to touch few points there.. You have opened Pandora's box this night... :)

STEEM No4 place.. It's awesome... communism, capitalism, socialism.. I DON'T CARE... :) Every one of them is good... Until people take an advantage of them... Just like you said about bid-bots and really trash posts (I don't talking about cats... :) ) Talking about mumbo-jumbo posts and similar...

And regarding content quality... You have mention Facebook, Twitter and their cats, dogs content... What about television? That is even more trashy than everything online... Reality shows? C'mon.. What is valuable in that s*it???

And.. Sorry Rich, we have to talk about content... and I am 100% for cats, dogs pictures on Steem, because maybe that cat/dog is all that someone has in the life and it means a lot for that person... Actually, that would be great topic for some of the conferences in Bangkok...

And bull run will come when it comes.. :)
