RE: WAIT another contest! Yes that is what we are doing this weekend! 5 SBD Prize!
I think shadowbot is working well and pretty fair for all, its nicely balanced, my only issue and its a big one is the abuse i highlighted, I think there needs to be clear rules in place for that on what is ok and what is not.
Too the lower SP people - what you have to understand guys that shadowbot is not a get rich quick scheme, you cannot expect to join with the free SP given too all new accounts and expect to start earning loads. Almost all accounts with a high pool priority have been invested in steem and for a long time, not only with time but with money - this has to be recognised and rewarded otherwise people with higher SP will simply leave.
What shadowbot offers to new steemit users is upvotes they simply would not get if they were not members, not only that but it gets your posts some exposure. Its a marathon not a sprint, set your sights on the long term goal not short term and in time you will be rewarded.
Exactly and as you pointed out we are evolving to focus on these types of things. For example our last big upgrade was including user's SP in their pool priority and voting weight allocation. This was the first big step toward ensuring those who invest in their SP earn more!
Our focus is now on getting users to Power Up each week. As you can see in our latest few posts we are implementing policies that reward powering up and discourage abuse.
Those who stick with the program earn! As you said "It's a marathon not a sprint"!
Yes that is a good change for sure:)
Okay 👍
