RE: @the.masses account has been shut down :(
I added it to my up-vote script ages ago and it was actually earning some good curation rewards while supporting some good content.
I always cringed when I seen it being used for controversial topics. I guess we all knew this day would come.
In my mind it is a measurement of how far we fallen as a whole.
RIP @the.masses
That's cool! Yeah, it really is too bad. I know so many people that were actually using the account for various things and having fun with it. I did see way more 'good' come out of the account than 'bad'. It's sad it had to end :(
I agree it was more good than bad, but it was always on my mind that the bad was just waiting to happen.
Honestly, I feel the same about a few other steemit features, once the masses gets involved what we have all seen as a positive can quickly turn negative. No pun intended :)
Steem on Tim, I know you took heat for this. I hope you learn from it :)
Agreed. Thanks :)
