Absolutely, @glenalbrethsen. Count me in.
Those bots undermine Steemit's potential to do that rare thing - inspire and drive social impact for millions while creating financial value for all involved at the same time.
Enough of us holding the course, and change will happen.
I'm wondering, if it would be a good idea to have this as a quasi-community of some sort?
It might be a good idea. That community might already exist for all I know. I wouldn't be surprised.
Sad thing about the bots is, many of them were created to help people as a workaround. So the intention was good, just not the solution.
And since the solution is based on a long term outlook, we need to continually remind ourselves and others, that's what it is. Long term. It's not a quick solve.
