RE: Spam Bots, retributive downvoting and censorship

in #doyourpart8 years ago

I believe all will come in order with time, the day this has any real impact the admins will take care of it, or it would be too simple to destroy the reputation of someone here. Actually your post is standing out, i clicked on it because it has so many down votes and i wanted to see what is it going on.

Sort:  

the platform seems to be getting worse with time, not better. I want to believe in steemit, but every time i start to, things just get worse. I wanted to continue to hold the 5K or so steem i have, but at this point.

Also, this does have real impact on me. I know i don't matter, because i dont kiss the whales ass and im not on slack and i dont have nice tits, but most of the people theyre trying to get interested in the platform are kind of in the same boat.

If you look at my posts i don't kiss the ass of anyone neither. I do what i like and that's it. Who cares if you are downvoted 50 times per post, their votes don't have any meaning or power. Your account is much more powerful than all the bots together. And you are standing out from the crowd with your downvotes, anything you post is going to attract attention.

my account is more powerful than them, but i have to use up my votes upvoting all the comments i make... this means i can only protect myself for so long before im just effectively shut out of the system when my votes lose power.

Also, given that these bots are likely run by the same whale that runs wang, its not a given that i will always have enough power to fight them off. It looks like there are 25 of them right now... it would take around 5 times that many before i couldnt fight them off anymore, but thats not completely out of bounds for someone to make.

yeah, a system like that seems like it would be great for those already recognized authors that bots like wang and weenis support.

Or you could simply create another account and start over, and this account keep it with your power and vote some nice posts only.
