RE: Thousands of dollars in rewards recovered to the reward pool.
agreed. automated vs organic... its a tough battle to win. can it be won? its like recycling will the earth ever be free of waste? but we can always do our part to recycle what we can and know we are making a difference no matter how small of an impact 1 can have on a planet. These things always begin with awareness and then adoption. For me trying to get outta bed and into the gym before the work bell starts is always the expectation but it doesn't always happen. But when i do i know im working on a better me. Same goes For @themarkymark here I'm proud to see 1 browncoat here trying to mop up the automated trash in steemit. Cant seem to stand it when users are abusers and destroy the organic things that make a place so great. It's great to see someone taking their time to focus on making this place better for us, and with the difficulty of onboarding new users, and this trash getting in the way, it doesnt make things any easier. Theres a new sheriff in town... and he's comin'
Organic upvotes are always better, they are a sign that there are people who truely appreciate your content. Nonetheless if you can make money and get your content seen by a large portion of the steemit community through inorganic upvotes there isn’t a problem with it unless it is abused.
Understood. Just two different paradigms of thought hoping for favorable outcomes
좋은 정보 감사해요!
I'm more confused than ever! I just stay away from the bots and keep plugging away old school hoping to build a tribe of people that actually want to read my stuff. :)
im in the same boat my friend but reach out to people always to educate myself on how they work and what they are. They are an integral part of Steem. As a new user a month in i am staying away but educating myself as i grow i may need them who knows. People like @themarkymark are governing the space to make it better for us, as he has bots as well and is always willing to educate anyone on best practices, including bots :)
