Is hostility in the "spirit of steemit"?

Sort:  

I think you need to look up the meaning of hostility. I'm being honest and giving my opinion. Like I said and as you will see everyone else here will suck up to you. I won't. If you think that is hostile then you have some things to learn about life.
Edit: People sucking up to you are not friends. They are doing it because they want something. It's one of the downsides of being wealthy in real life and it works on here too.

I think you missed the part where I said the relationship is somewhat like employee-employer. I suspect you have never been an employee or employer and don't understand that such a relationship is based on professionalism and not friendship first and foremost.

Also I believe that it is hostile to characterize a professional relationship in the vulgar way that you have. Characterizing it that way will do little to sway others to your way of thinking, nor will it make me feel "bad" about anything I do. The internet is full of trolls, and I have become quite used to rhetoric like yours. I guess it's time for you to escalate with more vulgarity, so be my guest...

"If I vote on 2-3 posts per day there will be fewer and bigger winners."
@steemed I agree that is a problem. Those with the most voting power probably don't have as much time to review posts but another way of looking at would be to say that it reduces the net effect of whales on the system. On the other hand like you suggest it could slow down distribution.

Anyway I don't see an easy solution so whilst I don't agree with the use of bots I can sympathise with why you do it.

I'm talking about people on Steemit not speaking their minds about the use of voting bots. People won't speak their minds about it on HERE in this post because they don't want to piss people like you off and lose the chance of you "hiring" them as you call it. That is ALL I was referring to.

I perhaps wasn't clear enough in expressing that. Also I'm not trying to make you feel bad about anything.

I was just pointing out what seemed to be the spirit of Steemit i.e. that people read a post and then vote on it as opposed to a bot up-voting it and you reading it later.

It seems like an unreasonable self-imposed constraint. I try to avoid those because they limit what you can achieve.

Another thing that everyone selectively overlooks is that automated voting allows better distribution of rewards because I can make more votes. If I vote on 2-3 posts per day there will be fewer and bigger winners.

Pick your poison.

Good luck on the magazine, the more news sources for the crypto world the better!
