RE: There is a way to fight @mmmmkkkk311 [Ignore this]
Now that we are actually talking...
Could you see SBI working if they were to amend how the bot works somehow?
I understand that you are against people sponsoring other people on SBI, but that payment I think can also work as a statement of trust. It's not strictly a purchase, but an investment in that person. After all, if they do not post anything for 150 (?) days, his sponsorship will be dropped and distributed amongst the rest of the pool and they don't get anything for it. (That's how SBI works currently at least.)
There is also a black list and the people that are being sponsored are also being vetted against that list. Bots and scammers will not be admitted to the SBI pool. I think that is only a good thing.
I am thinking that as long as someone is handling the bot, we ultimately need to trust that person. But that's exactly how it works in any setting of life. If you can't trust someone, you just don't give your money to them, and if you do trust them and they run away with your money they will. We can never be quite certain which case it is.
But at least the service has been running for what 2 years (?) now, without anyone running away with the money.
Now the interesting part would be if we could employ smart contracts to run the SBI service for us. We could be absolutely certain that the rules are being followed by both the people providing the service (as there are none), and those who use it (sponsors and sponsees).
The way I see SBI affecting the Steem ecosystem is by flattening the rewards in a way that there are less and less those who make crazy huge sums of money, and less of those who make nothing. Everyone could make something, not too much, and not too little.
Yes I guess you would claim basic income would lead to people not creating any quality content, but I am contesting that point as I know it can also incentivize people to actually create content.
Your turn.
Right now SBI doesn't follow any #newsteem "unwritten rules" but it's not the end of the world. Learn about Communities and SMT, I'm sure you can move there SBI and you will be stronger than ever. Good Luck!
(I didn't notice this reply of yours, until now.)
I didn't really get what you said about SMTs. What I did hear is you were attacking the communities as well.
You didn't address the part where I mentioned the reward pool being more evenly distributed because SBI though. I believe this to be a good thing, and not as you say "raping the reward pool". It makes Steem more inviting to newcomers, because there won't be so many people getting huge rewards for mundane posts, and it also makes sure people won't get 0 rewards from quality posts.
Isn't that (more even distribution of rewards) exactly what we need?
He baselessly claims it is a "ponzi scheme" which just shows that either he doesn't understand how it works or (more likely) he just doesn't understand what a ponzi scheme even is! And the blatant hypocrisy in him trying to fight "vote selling" when that is exactly what he did with his bidbot! As as bidbot owner with over a dozen alt accounts he is in no place to judge what is right or wrong here on Steem. Now he is mad that his scam has ended. So like an upset child, he has decided to take out his anger (caused only by his own failures) on other innocent people. Making him nothing more than a big bully!

I am here to counter @mmmmkkkk311's bullying. I will upvote every post/comment that he downvotes. You can support my anti bullying upvotes by delegating (links below) Steem Power to @ilovemk311. And you can help keep this message visible by upvoting this comment or by purchasing SBI shares for @mk311isabully which will help to counter the downvotes that @mmmmkkkk311 will surely send my way. Which I highly encourage him to do as the more downvoting power he wastes on me the less he can use to downvote the real content creators here on Steem that would otherwise become his victims!

With this jerk bullying innocent people we are seeing many great content creators leave due to the drama and negativity that @mmmmkkkk311's downvote campaign brings to the blockchain. While he claims he is trying to defend his investment he is actually unwittingly destroying it.
SBI is an initiative that has done nothing but help promote onboarding and community building here on the Steem blockchain. Let us not turn our back on it out of fear for getting downvoted. Instead lets stand up for this great initiative that has helped so many people and helped the Steem community to grow and thrive!
