This is a fascinating post.
I’ve followed you for a while and have often wondered about the contradiction between the work you do combatting reward pool rape whilst simultaneously running a bid bot. I could never reconcile the two. I was almost at the point of removing my witness vote from your account for this reason. (I’m not really that influential but hey! A guy can only control what he can control 😂)
Reading this post though showed me the discussion from a couple of perspectives I’d never considered before. It’s really opened my eyes to a few things. These kinds of discussions fascinated me and I think they are essential to the long term success of steemit. Getting inside the head of someone who is working so hard in the background to make the system better has been great.
Great work @themarkymark. Keep it up please! We need more like you!
