RE: Minnowbooster : Sell Your Vote to MB for SBD! Upvote Bot Market (UBM) Revealed!
What I wonder is: the massive use of bots will not destroy steemit? Slowly but surely will make the platform less credible. If I have no faith in the upvotes then the platform will seem fake and people will ditch it. Youtube had this problem 7-10 years ago and it messed up with their advertising model. For steemit there is the same sort of legitimacy problem. Think of it as a programming arms race: clever programmers circumvent the system, but youtube has a legion of nerds too.
Costant battle.
Steemit is small and vulnerable. It may survive, it may not. I think of steemit as an experiment.
Many of us are using bots and contributing to the ROT!
Minnowbooster is actively working on improving the current botting situation and you can expect us to overhaul the botting landscape over the next month.
Spammers will have a harder time making profits and legitimate users will get deserved attention. This new service is only one step in our roadmap to make steem better :)
More transparency is needed with all of this jargon being tossed around by all of you nerds here on the steemit platform.
I buy your votes and I appreciate the you use the originalworks bot. That's a good step in the right direction. I'm very glad your service is here for little minnow to use.
hi welcome
Hi @reggaemuffin
but the user will no support without sending sbd on the service..thats the reality..
YES! This is my ideology. Steemit is based on moving accurate and worthy posts to the public view. What happens when bots start upvoting random, unworthy posts
this situation is kind of similiar to how Google has been dealing with spammers so they can used as an example for this. For them a vote is a link, the more of those you have the more like you're to be on the 1st page. So, they implemented ways to make sure it's not just about links (votes). They created ways to make sure that content is also good by looking different factors like original content, lenght of content, weight of the votes (what used to be pagerank) or here could be whate followers/votes and random manual review if some flags come up. The same can be implemented here with bots and time goes by they can become a lot more sophisticated. I see steemit becoming its ecosystem with its own complex search algorithms they can take rewards beyond 7 days with news way to earn them.
This is interesting comparison, it's hard to implement it in the "system" of steemit... so we need the community to make sure that this happens. but....
Speaking about search.... steemit has one of the worst search/filtering system I've seen in a (social) website... we need a better search... probably a website like google that is offchain (for faster searching) and has as many filtering systems as possible (by user, by multiple tags, by content, and by images)
yeah there's still a lot that needs to be set up but that's what's so exciting about being here now. It's being there when the top internet sites were poping up but being able to learn from their mistakes
They are a bots which control the spammer, also minnowbooster use the originalworks bot so there are no problem and @minnowbooster is in the right area 100%.@minnowbooster helps us to contenue in steemit because we are minnows and he give us the hand of help. I wish you more success @minnowbooster. I love your services keep it on.
I've never seen @originalwork find a single thing that was plagiarized. It's garbage vs @cheeta
the important think that steemit control the spammer
@minnowbooster help minnows to grow , and if there are a spammer there are also a bots which control the posts and flag them
Agreed the platform will only yield results if th platform delivers geniuen value to the you
The most discussed post on steemit are the post discussing the platform unless and until the platform delivers value it will die
