I've had to take some time to consider my response. It might be easier if we could chat on discord or steemit.chat

I alone am not the judge of community standards. Nor, are there laws or firm rules about how to use the platform.

In one sense, what the code allows is permissible. However, we have seen over the past few weeks that downvotes are part of how the community voices it's opinion, but hopefully with calm and reason.

Personally, I do use some voting bots. I have paid as much as $10 for an upvote. As you become a more established user, I think that it's just not a good look, and can easily come under scrutiny when you have a very high value post with a significant portion coming from voting bots.

Something that bothered me about this post, is that it's just a link to a video. It would be nice if there was some more text going into what is presented in the video.

I'm interested in your Steem guild, as I do a lot of welcoming type of activity, and have been writing/collecting various guides for a while, now.

Hope to find you in discord
