    Well, thank you for not adding me. I will try to only make actions that the majority won't consider spam. I did promise my followers that I will send them the profits from my Gift! post. I feel that I am obliged to do this. Will sending out those memos be considered spam from your perspective?

    Not really memo spam in that case.

    The mass advertising with the .001 steem was venturing a little far into spam land.

    Thanks, I really don't like adding 'real' people to @mack-bot.. They tend to complain and make appeals. 😆

    What if the mass advertising memo was sent out to select accounts based on the different variables such as account age, SP, balances, activity, etc... Do you think that would be "less" spammy?

      It would definitely be a lot less spam.

      The problem you create at the moment is that with every transaction the size of the block chain grows. With it so does the cost to witnesses, such as my self, to maintain servers with enough memory to continue to operate. This is being addressed and will change in the future.

      One person memo spamming, comment spamming, follow spamming or vote spamming isn't a problem. It's when others see such activity as acceptable and decide to do the same.

      Thank you for the advice! I will take this into consideration in the future when building bots for the Steem blockchain.

        @money-dreamer,

        I wanted to share something with you I had come across from another user that I thinks would be helpful to put these issues into a larger context.

        I will include a section but encourage you take the time to read the post in it's entirety.

        What makes Steem special is that it operates as a stakeholder owned cooperative. The stakeholders are also the workers. This makes it difficult for many people to tell whether it looks more like a productive joint stock company or a Ponzi scheme, because the rewards given to the workers/stakeholders could either be the pay for their work, or the dividends giving the false appearance of profitability. It all depends on how the stakeholders vote. If they vote to reward those who build the community and create value, then Steem will become profitable, but if they vote simply to pay themselves and other stakeholders without any connection to productivity it will fall apart as certainly as any other Ponzi scheme.

        At present, the stakeholders are split between these two sides. The community is growing rapidly and there's a great deal of productivity, but there's also a growing part of the community that seeks only to vote themselves dividends while they can. Steem isn't a Ponzi scheme, but if the stakeholders it attracts can't tell the difference it will soon become one.

        Together @money-dreamer, we can build this platform but it is, indeed, the manner of which we build that will determine whether the structure stands or falls.
