RE: Steemit's Biggest Problem, The One That We All Pretend Doesn't Exist
I followed a suspicious looking comment back to the author's blog once, to discover that the entire account was automated. It was pulling posts from the internet, and cycling through one of ten or so comments on random posts to get attention back on the blog.
I expect that many don't realise that account is fully automated. There's probably a lot more of them that I haven't come across yet too.
But yeah, I'm not saying it's difficult to deal with, but it certainly does effect my overall enjoyment of the platform. Luckily, I enjoy it here a lot. So, even with the problem I mentioned, it's still fucking decent.
Yes, I hear you. Someone in SteemSpeak challenged me on hating automation for the sake of hating automation. After I challenged myself, I couldn't come up with a reason it is a problem. :) But I do understand that it bothers some.
I don't mind the bots too much. But, we have seen that they can be used as weapons, or as tools of abuse. But, what cannot be twisted into a weapon these days?
