I read a nice post from @anyx today where he talks about the Cheetah bot here.
If you don't know what Cheetah is:
Cheetah is an informative robot that might comment on your post. If she does, she will claim that she found similar content somewhere else on the web. This is because you likely copy and pasted some form of content -- whether it be your own or not. This is not an accusation of wrongdoing, but merely an informative comment for the reader.
For me one of the most positive things, besides other cool things, I got from his post is strangely this:
> The second issue I am running into is the 20 second comment limit. There are 86,400 seconds per day, which means you can comment only 4,320 times per day maximum. Guess what? Cheetah has hit that limit on popular days!
With the amount of new people joining Steemit the bot is more busy than ever.
Therefor it also makes sense to me that the amount of posts which Cheetah reports on is increasing with a similar percentage.
It shows incredible growth!
And confirms the growth numbers we have been seeing lately in another way.

>Cheetah bot reaching her limits shows growth on the STEEM blockchain.
Yes! I absolutely agree with you. The daily starts are there for everyone to see and it is glaring - more and more people are joining steemit, many posts are created in minutes and all together more and more contents are being created on the platform every minutes and cheetah certainly has a lot of work to do.
However, this one right here goes to the developers of the bot: Can you try tweaking the bots algo a little bit cus people are learning how to bypass it and also it is also commenting on posts it is not supposed to comment on - mostimes original contents that doesn't relate with the similar content she's talking about.?.
And oh! Maybe someone too can help in developing something else. Maybe leopard, lion or even tiger. Lol
Oh!! I think copycat will be better... Cat, you know the feline family thing. ๐
Happy Steeming
Plagiarism is a problem, every new platform faces and have to deal with it somehow. I see many users C&P comments from quora and reddit to various posts on Steemit. ๐ด
The number of users are growing day by day which means more plagiarism because newbies come here when they see the insane amount of rewards many people are getting on this great platform.
They think that shortcut is the key and this is some "Get rich quick" scheme. ๐ด But they fail to understand that Steemit is much more than money paying arena. We don't have to fight and compete with each other. We should rather help each other and provide as much support and value we can.
Cheetah is doing a fabulous job to avoid this. And I hope minnows and new users will learn from this. Cheers @exyle and thanks for making this post.
Hey man
Interesting re:@cheetah maxing out, I hope we see a duplicate account in the near future.
With regards to @dan selling, I have no issue watching that. On the stock exchange, the large sellers are not always visible (until they pass though certain %'s) but here, we can just watch and see where the selling pressure is coming from.
If/When @dan is done selling, and this visible 'iceberg' is cleared, we should expect the price to steady and probably rise to the next level. Just my opinion.
I'm not worried right now, things are looking great over here!
Have a good day!
