RE: Bots : Steemit killer or a strategic use of time?
For sure I see nothing helpful with bots that participate in the voting system. In my opinion this is cheating the system. Popular Steemit posts should be made popular by the people, this ensures quality (at least the quality the Steemit community wants). Upvoting with bots makes it possible that we see a lot of low quality posts up in the hot and trending posts, which I think nobody here wants.
Bots that detect plagiarism (which I think can be quite precise) are great!
Plagiarism is unfair to the people who are really dedicated and spend time writing their posts.
I think I can say that the 'referee-bots' are a good thing, the 'cheat-bots' not so much.
I like the discussion, keep it up!
I completely agree with you. I think it should be beneficial if Steemit banned upvoting bots. They are a way for spammers to game the system and I have already noticed there are things posted that remind me of junk trying to plug products that I would delete from my email as spam and they are upvoted, probably because the spammer paid a bot.
Great comment and point @tappit
I concur...bots that upvote are bad for the community in the long run as good contents is sacrificed.. Someone can just snap a dog poo and post knowing he has over 100 programmed upvote...and you see them in hot!
Good point, I agree. @cheetah is doing great isnit it? @banjo acts like a drunk buddy haha . Thanks for your comment
