There seems to be a lot of them lately.
.
they are like a swarm of locusts
.

.
they contribute nothing but they take all that you have worked for.
.

.
Those of you who have been reading my posts know that I do NOT like bots
.
or Flagging
.

.
I seem to be in the minority
(nothing new)
.
I've been told repeatedly that flagging was necessary for Steemit
.
and that nothing could be done about 'bots.
.

I DISAGREE

.
So what can we do about bots rapacious pests?
.

.
Recall the Whale Project some time ago?
.

.
A group of whales decided to down vote OTHER whales for reasons
.
I didn't much like it when it was happening.
.
I lost a lot of Steem during the process.
.
But now I can see the benefits...
.

AND

.
it set a precident.
.
if it's OK to downvote whales
(if you have the SteemPower to survive retaliation)
.

AND

.
If it's OK to HAVE bots on Steemit.
.
Then it follows that it would be OK
.
to program a bot to downvote other bots.
.
(they set the rules)
.
In another thread Could this kill Steemit bots?.
.
in the comments I said

So there you have it.
A way to get rid of bots.
Of course this is going to make a great many people unhappy.
Perhaps unhappy enough to remove flaggin
AND
bots from the code.
.
awwww.

.
I'd consider delegating a SERIOUS amount of steempower to support this project.
.
would you?
.
If you would then support Hive account@locikll54 with his project.
.
send him some $$$
