Personally I do not mind receiving memos, and like many Venezuelans who make a living by sharing content in this ecosystem, a few cents that would probably be ignored elsewhere, for me and my compatriots can make a big difference in a country where inflation levels they are astronomical figures, difficult to imagine for those who do not suffer it.

On the other hand, I perceive that Steemit has become a community of bots instead of readers, where the creative effort, because that is exactly what we do when publishing, is not properly rewarded, among other reasons, because it is difficult to reach a audience broad enough that can value this effort. The mass sending of memos is a low strategy that can pay off to attract readers, and I do not think it's an invasion of privacy.
