RE: NewSteem Onslaught Continues as Vote Sellers Capitulate
Great post-Buggs,
I worry about the SP these big bot accounts are powering down and where it's headed. I see curation trials to be the replacement which is much worse than bidding bots. A 200 member curation trial has 1 person using 200 users voting power which is very far away from manual curation.
It has taken me 5ish weeks to finally understand why the leasing market has dropped and why it's not likely to return to 20% ROI. I never factored in greed, lmao.
Since HF21, I have seen an increase in new members to CSB and I have also noticed at least one of the bigger bots is now offering delegation for a daily upvote. Maybe this is the new voting bot model going forward.
Its be a while until newsteem can pop the champagne in celebration of anything
Thanks mate. I don't think we'll be seeing 20% ROI again, unless we totally turn the ship around and go on another roaring bull run.
I can see the potential for a manual (and genuine) curator with a trail that follows as being a lesser evil. I suspect that auto-votes could become the next big bugbear for the platform though.
It'd be nice if we had a few more curation projects sprouting, but we're getting close to 2 months post-HF21 and I'm just not seeing it.
