RE: Why I Am Not Against Bot Votes: An Anarchist/Free Market Perspective
While I tend to agree with your points, there's still something disappointing about seeing 77 upvotes, and then noticing that only a dozen people actually read what I wrote. On most forums, the numbers are usually reversed, and the upvotes feel earned. Here, it's getting eyes on the page that takes work.
Yes, and I don't want to be mistaken here. You have brought this to my awareness in a greater way, and I really do think it is a problem. I am just not so sure I would advocate regulating it, because it seems to me that that would take away from the most beautiful part of the platform for me, which is its open-source, free, free market nature.
It's because I think it's a worthwhile experiment that I continue to contribute posts :D
I love this platform. It has really challenged me to explore myself, improve my writing, and improve my communication with others. I think that many here are like me, and that that, ultimately, is what will make/makes this platform successful.
