RE: No Sympathy

in #steem5 years ago

The fight against abuse is great fun. The other day we stopped a bid botter cranking out one automated post with stock images and utter gibberish after another. When we were done he'd cuss at us like a drunken French sailor. Needless to say, the idiot would revenge flag us for days on end. Then he ran out of steam (possibly STEEM, too) and left the platform. :)

Equally fun is the discovery of worthy authors creating vastly superior content that what has been occupying Trending for the longest time. There is a revolution going on.

I agree this is loads of fun. Finding the quality stuff is hard as we are more focused on looking for the bad. That will change though as we get rid of all the crap.

I recently ran into @paulmp one of whose images was published in National Geographic. He's an Australian professional photographer. The post with the NG photo earned less than a dollar. At the same time, we had crap like the cruise video immediately after HF 21 bid botted to Trending. A testament of the total failure of PoB on Steem prior to HF 21. Now @paulmp's posts make decent money. He's been to Trending twice.
