I am really surprised by a lot of the dialogue that I'm reading in the comments.
From what I've read, @stellabelle was voicing her concern about bots raking in a lot of money.  *Of course* there's a person behind creating the bot, and good on them for finding a lucrative way to play the system - but it costs the community and flesh and blood creators who are trying to navigate the platform and find footing.

Her statements about Asians was not an attack on them but  her own experience and interaction.  I tend to say that I'm half-Korean.  I've only said "I'm of Asian descent" a handful of times.  

@mibenkito and @knozaki2015 - I would like to respectfully point out a few things.
Steemit and basically all paid-for-content sites have a history of bots, plagiarists and article spinners.  Not only do these things jeopardize the quality of content, it is a reflection of the platform which it sits on, and affects the community as a whole.
Stellabelle's reputation score sits easily in the top five.  She is considered a whale - and her votes are significant.  If you read through her body of work, you will note that she is also a creative soul, and as she's gained Steem Power and rank, she has been tremendous at promoting people who are struggling ***because she cares about Steemit.***

May I also point out that *consistency is king.*  You may have been singled out because of that.  People tend not to change their writing style from article to article.  Now, if you were posting a mix of things - let's say you post a picture one day and an article the next, obviously the article will be scrutinized more for things like grammar, spelling, the turn of a phrase.  It's like comparing apples to oranges.  But if your articles are showing high quality and then dropping to low quality in general form, you're going to raise some red flags...not just with the whales, but your potential readers & followers.

As a whale, stellabelle has inherited a duty to curate quality work and find new talent as she maintains her own creativity and stays in touch with those she follows.  She didn't ask for this responsibility but she takes it on with grace.

Did you know that you could be flagged into oblivion?  She has given you freedom to express your cutting remarks.  I've seen people flagged for lesser infractions, and frankly, I am impressed by her self-control.  

That being said, my interpretation of her post is this: AI is here.  There's no point fighting its development and implementation, but as a person with powerful votes, perhaps she'd like to know exactly who she's voting for.  I am personally okay with some bots, but the developers have also been forthright and honest about its identity.  At least the population *knows* and can make a conscious decision to upvote or not.

**Finally** (sorry the comment is long)
@mibenkito - while it's true she called you out, if you read her post again, you would clearly see she is *expressing her concerns* and not outright attacking you.  Your comments clearly show a human behind them.  But if you look objectively at the situation, understand that stellabelle has been part of the uninformed masses which helped msgivins earn that much money.  It was a mistake to do and admitting to it is tough, especially when people look toward you to be a good example.  if English is a second language to you, consider this phrase for this situation:  ***Once bitten, twice shy.***
### Peace.
