RE: Analysis of Steemit Bidbot Business - Steemit Business Intelligence
Thank you again Paula for your efforts to provide us all with the quantitative insights on what is happening on this platform. This sort information allows for better rational discussion rather than purely perceived observation.
30% is hefty amount and now confirms the suspicion held by many that using these bots is indeed making a few people very wealthy for little or no effort.
I'm hoping some one such as @dan comes up with a better platform.
it is to my understanding that @dan is creating a new platform that will address issues like this, however this is the hear and the now. Steemit is the platform we are on and steemit is self governed. I believe we have the power to stop this if we really want to .
To stop it, the top witnesses need to be on board. But, it would appear that they don't care because some are in on it. I have my suspicions that the last hard fork was done with the intent that the mess Steemit finds itself in would happen, because, those in on the know would profit.
The other option is vote in other witnesses to steer the ship. But that is going to be a long road I think.
As for @dan, we can only hope that he's been taking careful note.
yes there are some top witnesses involved and making considerable money leasing SP to these bots. Eventually there will be a witness voting war over this.....I can feel it coming....
Do you think the witnesses not involved in bidbots here on steemit are not taking notice? forks are dependent on witnesses and as we self govern Im sure they have something to say. we should be shouting out to the witnesses here on steemit not @dan
The cynic would note that witnesses with access to broad swaths of bid bots have a ready-made army with lots of ammo ready to rollout in the case of any sort of voting war.
Let us not forget that the bots with huge amounts of leased SP carry just as much power when they put in a witness vote.
Ehat do you mean by a witness voting war @paulag. Do witnesses really have the power to stop it?
