I am glad there are some newer Steemians like yourself, who are still enthusiastic about Steem.
( I am also glad that you are able to grow your stake in times of linear rewards and bid bots )
I have burned through most of my excitement and just could not help but leave this bitter comment.
It’s understandable... it has been hard to watch such amazing potential squandered... but, this reboot has some teeth, and I like the people involved. If only they can get enough autonomy to make this a success.
Self-voters who use their alternative accounts to upvote every comment they publish are the reason some of them grow their stake. New users who come and see this are quickly driven away. But hey, Steem taught me that money is first priority and community is worth nothing if you don't monetize it in sneaky ways.
I agree with you. I think that Weku can do it better. No bots are alowed there. But it just beggining. We will see.
Wait, have the bid bots left?
Steemit was an amazing decentralized platform for bots for a while there.
