RE: New Quality Standards for Booster Usage Coming Soon!
I'm not saying this solves everything. But I like to see people have a reasonable discussion for what is at least a better direction to go than where it has been.
Also, you won't get everyone in a dpos blockchain to agree with you on everything. Some clearly see a role for bidbots, others dont.
I see no role for bidbots or vote selling. The role of bots is leeching the reward pool and creating inflation.
Promotion is an excuse because front ends wont take control of their trending page which they should because there is absolutely no need for content placement to have anything to do with vote values.
I see a role of front ends in marketing and promotion.
Go pay steemit.inc or steempeak for a spot on the top of the trending page. Support their development and get exposure.
Not give money to a middleman that leeches of rewardpool draining transactions that lack any proof of brain. (Proof of greed)
Promotion should burn steem or sbd as it was intended, not reduce the price of steem by creating "dumb inflation" (no proof of brain) and destroying the image of steem in the crypto world and making it look like a pay yourself scam run by bots.
No. Bots have no place here and no this is not a significant change. Only an attempt to stop the flags.
Changes absolutely nothing for me.
@lordbutterfly - maybe it is YOU that do not belong here. Ever crossed your mind that you would be happier somewhere else?
Such insight! YOU just flipped my world on its head. Wow!

This principle is the foundation of society. Sticks have no place voting and pretending to opinions alongside people, and they also have no ability to do so. Bots are the same as sticks, but have the ability to do what they should not.
Granting devices the rights and responsibilities of people degrades people. Allowing avarice to blur this line in the sand will be consequential in a world where a robot has already been granted citizenship by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Steem pays a price for allowing avarice to destroy society. That price is paid in capital losses, affecting each and every wallet owned by an actual person. Ending the ability of bots to be employed to extract rewards will enable that price to stop being paid.
Nothing else will.
Society is far more valuable than mere money. Most are unaware of what is really valuable, distracted by shiny objects they have been indoctrinated to seek above all else. Steem is revealing the consequences to society such ignorance effects.
Build society. Prosperity will follow. Capital gains FTW.
If it preserves some of my downvote to be used elsewhere, it's an incremental win. I'll take it.
It's not going to change my modus operandi one bit.
