Steemit: The Land of Spammy Bots

One of the things that have been more and more common on steemit lately is bots controlled by users that constantly spam peoples posts.

Now as if we don't have enough new people already that are spamming peoples posts asking for upvotes and follows, we now have bots that do exactly the same except in a larger scale.

On steemit, we have recently reached over 300,000 users (which is not a good thing), and most of them are bots. Some bots are good and don't spam like the @cheetah bot or bots like that. And the majority of these bots constantly spam peoples posts asking for upvotes and follows etc.

The amount of spam on here is unbelievable... and is pretty annoying. just saying....

And I think if we want steemit to excel as a platform, we need to get rid of these bots...Not only are the bots taking away from the rewards pool, but they are annoying people with their spammy comments. We need more legit users on this platform, meaning less of the spammy bots and people who are posting genuine content.

As of now, steemit is flooded. Steemit is at that point to which if you follow even 50 people you like, you can't even catch up with their posts unless you specifically go to their post. There is a rapid amount of spam posting on steemit and a rapid amount of people joining at the same time. Which in my eyes, is not good at all.
