Some of this, well a lot, I agree with. However I do not like people telling me how or what I should vote on, so I can not support anything that tells others how or what to vote on. I still see nothing changing with HF21, I have never believed the use of bots would decline, I still do not think that will happen, and evidently from your post you do not think it will happen either, so HF21 is going to be a failure at resolving this issue. I also still believe it will be a failure at the down vote issue being used primarily for excessive rewards.

I honestly hope it all works out, I after all do still use the steemit front end, (mainly because I do not see the ads). I still think that steem block chain can be a fantastic social place if the down vote issue could ever get resolved.
