RE: The Next Generation BidBots: A Proposal
Well i'm certainly not going to upvote any poster than consistently uses bidbots, and nor are any of the people/guilds that are looking for high quality content. Those are the people that have the power to give minnows the exposure they deserve in an organic way and you are losing any chance of gaining that genuine exposure by the consistent abuse of bots.
This is my opinion
:)
It may be possible to run a "mixed strategy": using whatever earning potential arises within steemit to then support further minnows. That is the aim of the new MAP Rewarder.
Everything that has a net outflow of funds - however well-intentioned - must rely on either investors or delegators or some income-generation, otherwise its voting power becomes limiting.
Is the MAP rewarder a human curation team? If there is a group of people using leased SP to upvote quality content then I am all for that and this platform needs more of that. My question would be, "should I lease SP to a service that offers upvotes for payment" In this case, could it be that it would be used to upvote content of questionable quality. I want to be confident that the SP im leasing out is only used to upvote quality content.
Hi, as you know from being a MAP member, upvotes on their own have a limited supply. I do not have the luxury of 100-500k SP to make a significant difference to someone's post rewards, hence MAP itself (and me in particular) have leveraged knowledge to help minnows make themselves visible in their best niches.
I have used the analogy before that that kind of curation work is akin to a digital content agent. But that agent needs to find a publisher for the writer. And publishers do not have only one department; literary fiction or popular science rarely make much money compared to pulp, but the profitable sides support the less profitable creative or speculative works.
So, I will upvote the pulp only because it makes a profit that can further support upvoting curated content.
this is the point even if the content is high quality you will not upvote just because he is using bots i really don't understand why???
It should be different like for example if you see a good content you directly upvote it without checking who else give upvote
Like what i did in this post for mr @rycharde
I will upvote high-quality posts that have little or no reward, as will the likes of curie. Post with small votes from the likes of minnowsupport have always been supported by curation guilds. However, posters who are consistently using bidbots to the tune of 30SBD per post would be exempt from that kind of reward.
If you are here for the financial rewards alone then fair enough. I, and many others are here for the community aspect and that sort of thing is very hard work. Its taken me 6 months of real devotion to this platform to make any kind of inroads but now im starting to feel the benefit.
thank you bro nice talking to you all the best
I personally refuse to use "pay to play" upvote bots, I hope that my #steemitnovel can grow organically. It may take a bit more time but, the fruit of which I hope is much sweeter in the end. No hate on those who do use them, the temptation of which is hard to pass up. As a sign of goodwill I'm upvoting, I'm not trying to make any enemies here. Just stating my personal opinion.
Another potential community (for the new communities feature) in the making. I love finding great novels for curie, it's one of my favourite curation subjects. Keep up the good work.
