I agree in certain situations automated posts are needed and informative. In most cases that can be subjective so it is hard to call.

I disagree that is the case this time. The posts receive zero engagement from the community. With 5 minutes of research it quickly becomes clear to see that those post's hold zero value and are just a remnant from #oldsteem.

I just figured the whole attitude of do whatever you like with your stake was a dying one.

If you disagree with @haejin doing so then why would it be appropriate for someone else. In the list of priorities you speak of this is a situation which could be stopped quite easily. It would not take more than 3 or 4 decent sized accounts to combat it and the downvotes are free.

A saying I hear often pops to mind. "Why put off something until tomorrow if you can do it today".

You asking me to downvote it is a drop in the Ocean. Would make less than a 1% difference. I would gladly contribute to doing so

. This is a direct quote from you:

"While many love to talk about retention, we do not want to retain every user. We want to retain the best, the most talented, those who bring good energy, and some will fall away."

You can see where I am going with that right?
