Nah, I'll let things pan out. I don't "need" a steemit account.

All the information is public now, so the ball is rolling. You can report them for TOS violations if you like, or join the discussions.

Not sure how much traction it will get, but seriously they are a poison on an otherwise interesting social platform.

My account was never about me getting rich, or making a living. I just wanted to write occasionally, and these fraudulent, for-profit TOS violators stepped in.

If they left me alone, we'd all be happier - and probably if they left everyone alone too.

It's like a less bad version of the terminator.

The bot is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are spammed/downvoted.
