RE: The Scientific Similarity Between Bid Bot Use On Steem And Drug/Gambling Addictions!
Also, I think it's about feeling of your post being on trending. For some it's way for part of their ego to feel 'high' because of it's post being on trending. That way part of their ego feel important and successful.
BTW You didn't write link properly in last part of your post.
When I spoke about changing how we feel, I was referring to the idea of being accepted and 'succeeding' and thus 'being strong' (or even 'stroked') - so yes, that is all part of being 'at the top' and 'winning'. The reality with steemit is that if you are on the top - at one point in time - it means that you literally would be being paid a lot of money and therefore you could translate that into 'real world' success and rewards too. Now though, it seems that the main winners are the bot owners.
Thanks for the pointer - the link is fixed now. :)
Yes, bot owners are winners all the time. Why paid post don't go to promote section and highest payout posts without bid bots to the tending? Something like that should be in place.
The issue with anything like that is that there is no guaranteed way to know which accounts are operated by bots. It is possible to maintain a manual list of bots, but it will get messy. There will be arguments and vote sales would just go 'underground'. Did you read the post I linked to at the top here, with my idea for Steemit inc. selling votes, with the proceeds going back into the reward pool? I think that's as good as any idea I have seen so far.
I have read it now. I would agree with your approach. Not fully understanding whole process, but the way Steemit is operating now is hierarchy system where money rules. Not for everyone, there is still people who have good intention in their heart, but mostly it's all about money. More for me and not caring for anyone else. Thanks for reply, most of whales don't reply to questions.
