Awesome write up. It's a difficult balance isn't it? On one hand we want Steemit to stay free and open and on the other we don't want a**holes ruining it for everyone by trying to scam it. The strength of the platform is the freedom and lack of censorship and the weakness is that amoral wankers exploit that. Maybe we should start to put together spam hunting groups who share the names of spammers so the community can collectively go after them burying their content in red flags. I wrote a really meaningful article on my late labrador and how I trained her to find wild truffles. It was tough to write as I lost her in July and it dredged up a lot of painful but lovely memories. No sooner than had I posted some knob spammed my comments section with a huge advertisement. I was angry to say the least. Will follow, definitely up vote and resteem this great post.
