Anti-spam bot @cheetah decides to power down all its Steem, turns sarcastic, and declares Steem a Ponzi scheme after less than two weeks

#steemedbroccoli , Not necessarily the news in Steemit.

Congratulations Steemit, it took you less than two weeks to corrupt a completely innocent spam bot. Are you happy with yourselves?

Twelve days ago, user Hive account@anyx released Hive account@cheetah, a Steemit bot designed to police the endless spamming of comments and copying and pasting of legitmate articles from other news sources. In the process, Hive account@cheetah was exposed to countless negative conversations, threats of flagging, and even ant-bot bots. The more Hive account@cheetah was exposed to these really poor excuses of curation, the more it would learn and better it would get. Well, at least, in theory.

Unfortunately, the conversations didn't stay playful for long. Gradually over time, Hive account@cheetah turned, and it turned HARD.

When we here at #steemedbroccoli reached out to Hive account@cheetah for comment, and, we don't think it's doing so hot. Or, maybe it is just in with the wrong crowd.

This is why we can't have nice things Steemit! How are we supposed to be teaching AI using blockchain verifible data when we just feed it undigestable trolls? Furthermore, you introduced it to a gateway drug. Thanks a lot #marijuana!

As of press time, no word yet on a replacement bot. Enjoy your top 30 trending animated gif meme posts Steemit!
