RE: [Discussion Post] Where do we take STEEM from here? A post for STEEM community discussion
I am glad that the community is moving forward, the 100 Days of Steem I think is a great initiative. I am hoping to see more of it in the near future.
Your use of bidbots is I think justified if they can somehow regulate this where only quality content can be used with bidbots.
I think this is how some Steemians made significant earnings in the past, some income that is worth their time. Also a chance for newbies for their content to be shown with a bigger audience.
Bidbots should prequalify the content, some simple qualifications, like a requirement for at least 500 words and must be original content. Must also pass readability score where there is at least a topic intelligibly discussed in the article.
My view on bidbots is complicated. I don't think the community should shun it, but I don't personally agree with using them. The only reason why I have been using them for these posts is because I want to reward community discussion, and the bigger the article payout, the more liquid rewards for @penny4thoughts to distribute to the participants.
I think this will eventually be the case whether they should or not. As more and more people use them, they get mroe requests than they can fill. As a result, they have to choose which article they think will bring a better curation reward. Generally speaking, the article that is 500 words of original content will usually win in this scenario.
