Well memos are attached messages we can add to our transactions on Steem. They are used with bid bots, to add a note, and sometimes for messaging.
Like the image above that shows an example of using a memo, it is also an example of spam. It's a unsolicited message sent to me purely for advertisement purposes.
The problem is spam, but what is the solution? Well probably a native chat and adding communities. Until then there seems to be a lack of understanding or agreement on sentiment towards what qualifies as spam. This post stems out of a discussion I had on my last post where someone complained about me sending mass messages to my followers. I am very conservative with the frequency of this, I only do it once a month. All my followers who joined in said they didn't want me to stop and were happy I was doing this. Given I've only ever had 2 complaints since I've joined I figured it isn't much of an issue. However this person seemed to believe it was, so I'm letting the public discuss and decide. If you as a whole find that it is inherently wrong I will stop. Personally I believe if you subscribe to me, you're opting in to receive updates occasional from me. My messages are usually informational like an announcement or like a pinned bulletin message.
A lot of my followers have made it very clear that they do in fact support receiving these messages.
These are some key points from conversations with two other witnesses in WCA regarding bulk memos and the use of memos as messages - https://discord.gg/W6nuYPV
The point is everybody has their own opinion, but it's great if we all know what that is. You can comment below or join the conversation in #debate on the WCA discord - https://discord.gg/W6nuYPV
What are your thoughts on mass memoing?
Is it strictly spam?
Are there exceptions?
Is only memoing your followers acceptable?
Are non-promotional messages still spam?
What's a reasonable amount to send in one day?
