Downvoting without stating why? What is this mess? I mean at least one could leave a five word comment giving the reason for downvoting @fyrstikken's post. What a mess. Are we now doing auto-down-voting? Is this part of #newsteem? I don't like votes without comments. I definitely don't like down-votes without comments.
I am one that believes in leading by example. Before you think this is a spam post, you all down-voted so you put yourselves out there, get over it. Additionally; putting this together took me a long time. Longer than it takes for a great deal of people to make their Trending Shit Posts. You will notice this post has not been up-voted by bidbots and probably will get more down-votes than up-votes. Sorry, just need to show people what is absolutely wrong with our community that is STEEM.

Was finished reviewing this post and its comments at 8:30pm EST (guess I am a slow reader).
Eight (8) comments related to the reason for down-voting out of 49 down-votes. What seems to be the major malfunction?
.
So why did only a few people make comments? Well hopefully it is not laziness, but realizing that the more comments on this post, the more attention it will get. You see that is how bots work. Even though there are many down-votes, if there are a great many comments, the bots will pick it up. You see, AI is not intelligent. These bots that troll the blockchain are not capable of differentiating a positive comment from a negative one. Evidently some of you my loves, are not intelligent either and follow flagging trails not knowing what posts you are flagging. I term this lazy curation. It sure is not manual curation.
If @arcange and others that use bots would come up with a code that would associate down-votes with the comments, it would not be a problem. I don't know how to do it, yet those that are good at coding could make a small script in their bot code (very easily). I am an old DBASE programmer. Don't know Javascript, C++, or Ruby, yet I know enough that doing what I mentioned above would not be difficult for a seasoned coder.
My last post? Made out of frustration. You all know me better than that. I am going nowhere.Nor would I take away delegation from those that are still active in making STEEM a great place. I take back what I said about leaving. I am here to aggravate everyone for the long term.
Many of my friends have left... some a while back, some more recently. Breaks my heart. Yet I will never surrender.
