I read through the comments between you two and others opinions mixed in as well. I must admit troglodactyl had a semi valid reason for what he did, it was still wrong of him to do it. As you said, the free sbd was meant to help the little guys and new comers. We live in a monetarily driven society. If you want to attract all people give them money. That was the original intent of steemit. For those that like to just browse and comment, instead of creating new content, your free sbd is a great way to keep those people coming back. Hell, I'm one of them.
