Hi @mooncryption, @transisto, @inquiringtimes.
Were sorry if any of our posts offended you. Our steemit bot defender post was an honest attempt to offer a solution to steem that otherwise did not exist.
Our recent show posting we boosted by about 70 dollars. After the boost, several hundred people up-voted us and increased the value of our posting by almost 100 more dollars!
There are many steemians who really love our inspiring and engaging posts.
We are here to add value, love, awareness and consciousness to steem. We are also promoting steem on other social media outlets, we have a steem guild for new steemians to get started, and we use our voting power to upvote our minnows that use the earthnation tag.
Were doing the best we can here to add value to the community. We bought our steem from blocktrades with btc as an investment into steem. We don't intend to power down past 5000.
How can we help heal this? Would any of you like to get on a video call with a couple of our coordinators?
We truly only want to add value to this community. There are quite a few other accounts that are using bots too.... It's part of the growing steem culture. I think the entire steem community (ourselves included) is trying to find a good balance between organic upvotes/bot upvoting.
I've had to take some time to consider my response. It might be easier if we could chat on discord or steemit.chat
I alone am not the judge of community standards. Nor, are there laws or firm rules about how to use the platform.
In one sense, what the code allows is permissible. However, we have seen over the past few weeks that downvotes are part of how the community voices it's opinion, but hopefully with calm and reason.
Personally, I do use some voting bots. I have paid as much as $10 for an upvote. As you become a more established user, I think that it's just not a good look, and can easily come under scrutiny when you have a very high value post with a significant portion coming from voting bots.
Something that bothered me about this post, is that it's just a link to a video. It would be nice if there was some more text going into what is presented in the video.
I'm interested in your Steem guild, as I do a lot of welcoming type of activity, and have been writing/collecting various guides for a while, now.
Hope to find you in discord
