RE: New Improvements in Steem Bot Tracker!

in #steemit7 years ago

Ultimately I think self upvoting is completely entrenched in the Steemit ecosystem at this point. I dont know the history of that development but I must say that I feel it completely harms the content as it makes money for people regardless of what they are posting. So Steemit becomes a giant "circle jerk" or even masturbatory self-upvoting machine, but actual content and dialogue and profiting from social interaction become secondary or are even made to be impossible by this bot model. What's your feeling about that?

I think that self-upvoting is good because if you don't think your post is worth your upvote who will. Now every system is abused so I believe self upvotes should be capped per day and per amount.

Upvoting bots are just a way for minnows to get more visibility for their posts as they don't have money to buy 100k SP and give themselves that exposure.
