RE: I Was Spammed by 800 Bots: Sybil Attacks and the Economics of Buying/Selling Votes
After watching all of the action on Steemit. I think it's possible that what could evolve is a massive bot war, controlling the voting, leaving the newbie behind. However, there was one article stating that good content will still persevere weeding out the garbage content..... that statement could hold true. Dantheman seems to be monitoring closer in regards to the bots, so possibly everything will be adjusted accordingly as time goes on.
There's already a kind of bot war going on with the curation rewards, but it seems like it is a race to the bottom, and the main side effect is that bots get less curation rewards and authors get more, so I'm not sure how exactly that is gonna play out or if that is a problem. I don't want to see a voting war though, where some posts have like 1000 flags, etc..., especially when it's just noise. Thanks for the comment :)
I've never seen a 1000 flags on a post, that's pretty outrageous. What I did see are bots with lots of money in their wallet.
