HELLO STEMIANS
After I posted an article 3 days ago about grumpycats making a difference post, I receive several inquiries and opinions about it, there are also some haters and some are angry at me too. I understand where this people are coming from because they were affected by Grumpycay attack.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE
I truly understand that this attack by grumpycat almost 2 weeks ago has affected many users even low or high quality post, I have many friends that were hit by this and similar to others, they have shown their frustration and anger.
In my view, I look at this as part of Collateral Damage, in any changes that we do whether in personal life, professional, in the government or in any where, there will always be something or someone that will be affected. In a police operations or at war, there are innocent people that were affected and some get killed and even though I know that it is painful and hard, I understand that these are all part of Collateral Damage.
Change is always tough because this means that it may not be favorable to others but All of these is for the betterment of the many. We must understand that Grumpycats quest for the good of steemit has made positive and great result, bidbots made lots of changes in their rule and abide by what Grumpycat had set in upvoting bid rewards.
I am not here to defend @grumpycat nor shout out to everyone that Im in favor of him,but similar to him, I'm just an advocate of the true essence of this great platform. I believe that
we should be rewarding the best people who made a lot of efffort in creating their post and showcasing ther talent and skills.
In the past, I am also guilty of creating low quality post and benefitted from those bidbots, but I realized that even if I make a high quality post, I still uses bidbots to earn more rewards, however, I dont want to see myself relying or depending to much in these bidbots, I want to work hard and improve my craft and gets rewarded for my hardwork, isn't it the best feeling in the world? Its like getting awards for your best performance or getting promoted at work.
For sure I will still use bitbots once in a while but will not be a fanatic of it. I would rather show up my skill, work harder and spread the true essence of Steemit.
To @grumpycat, thank you for your great work and your effort in making this platform a better form of social media in the world. I am with you in these changes you set and will be an advocate on what is right. I will stand by you in your true commitment in ensuring the best for this platform.
