RE: HF20 might be the reason steem got dumped
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. While this might not be the case for all of the upvoting services, greedy robots are ran by greedy people. In case their services have to stop, they are likely to just upvote their delegators or find different ways of being selfish.
There are also ways of performing this service in a more "righteous" way, as clearly demonstrated by @ecotrain (although I'm not saying it's perfect), so you just can't blame the type of business in itself.
You mentioned the main reason : greedy people . But if the system is fair , these people should not be able to manipulate the system . steem pays it's users millions of dollars evey year and by manipulation that money will not properly be distributed and it's unfair . We should be aware that people don't directly give money to each other .this is not a donation of money this a distribution of money and people are just part of this process. this is in fact the system(users are part of it) . And it 's very important that the system is fair . I suggest , for instance , that any post that wins the highest number of votes will give the more steem even if the voters dont have many steempower.yes they dont have a good steempower mabey because they are not rich but is this mean that they dont have reason? what tool should we use to find the real value of a content? With The power of money ? Or the power of reasons( real majority). (Of course mabey there is a person who is rich and smart ).
Fairness is not logical. Fairness is human, it's a moral value. Systems are logical, amoral, and this is particularly important if it's designed to be decentralized. Therefore, I wholeheartedly disagree with you, the system does not have to be fair, just well designed.
Also I'm under the impression you are not aware of where that "money" comes from, please correct me if I'm wrong.
