RE: What is appropriate use of upvote bots? A survey. - My response
To be honest i love reading your posts and without meeting you i believe you are a stand up guy so please don't take this personal. I think the bots are bullshit. I truly believe it takes away from finding "quality content" and rewarding it. It makes it more of a game of , i can buy a big swinging dick and shove it in everyones face. I am very new here but in my 1 month of being here i have totally stopped looking at trending and rarely look at hot because i know they are mostly all bought and paid for trash articles. i stick with new and what comes up on my feed that i have verified are good content providers by following them. I have seen a LOT of good articles in NEW that end up with like $1.25 by the end of the 7 days and you can tell they poured their heart and souls into it. So i give you my idea as a new guy that has a different view point and is by all aspects probably just a dumb ass. My view on it is that the bots are part of our lifes now, no going back. The solution might just be right in front of our faces and you said it yourself in your post. Promotion......We have a promotion section that no one looks at anyways. Why not bump a post over to the promoted section once it becomes promoted by a bot?
Well said @doomsdaychassis. I concur with your opinion 100%.
Well @themarkymark, then, just for throwing something non-flammable in your bonfire. In order to keep in control the height of the flames of your biased opinion and belief in your opinion that bidbots owners are doing a great service to our community. I also believe you prolly would like to read a post of a good friend to complement your bias with something else. Check this out! }:)
