RE: Open Discussion: Fix Trending & Stop Promotion Abuse
Yeah, pretty much. Buying a vote one post at a time or buying delegation for a series of self-votes is the same. All shitposters have to buy votes to be “popular.” Most people can identify shit when they see it. Steemit is a little different because of the voting/allocation system, but the fundamentals of social media and popularity are generally the same.
Yes, it is social media and the theme of social media has always been shit floats. Does it surprise anyone that the same shit that is being paid to the top of other social media is moving here and doing the same thing now that the system is built that way?
What I can't wrap my head around is the few top 50 witnesses who promote steemit vote buying on youtube are top 50 here. It will be hard to change things when people are giving these select few power. I can think of one witness who has a bot that makes money off of bids to fund ads on youtube about how to come to steemit and use vote bot services. Why isn't that problem being corrected? He has even moved to top 20 now, so I guess the consensus is that these services are good or he is just buying proxy votes to move himself up the ranks with his bidbot.
At least you can go to his birthday party for delegating 5,000 SP.
XD Good lord, panderers are pathetic.
