What a day...

You called everyone self-righteous in your comment. Everyone. I pointed out how your actions are self-righteous.

If someone wants to compete with you, when you buy a vote, you force them to do the same thing.

Go ahead and call me a bully all you want. Go ahead and attempt to make me feel guilty for thinking an even playing field is a good thing. I don't care. These votes are free.

I have a dollar, would you like to buy it? It'll cost you a dollar, but after curation you'll only get 75%. Does that sound like a good deal to you? That's all these bots do. You need the free votes to make money here. What's so wrong about encouraging people to work towards that? Nothing. I honestly would like to see new members here have the same opportunities I had when I started, but instead, they're contributing to this madness of buying votes and shooting themselves in the foot. I haven't been purchasing these votes. Everything in my wallet was earned here through hard work. That's all you have to do to earn money here. Work. You can't just post and expect to see money. That's not how it works. It never worked like that.
