The presence of voting bots raises concerns about the authnticity and genuinenes of interactions on the Steemit platform. Sincebots operate based on predetermined rules and algorithms they lack the subjective judgment and emotional response that humans bring to the voting procs. This can lead to a system of content evaluation that is less organic and more mechanized.
Voting bots have the potntial to be misused or abused which can contribute to the rewarding of spammy or low-quality content. Some users may exploit bots solely for their personal gain without contrbuting valuable content to the community through this can result in a decline in the overall user experience and undermine the trust and credibility of the platform.
How does a voting bot works on steemit |
---|
A voting bot on Steemit works on steemit typically operates by following pre-set rules and criteria to automatically vote on posts.

Configuration: Users set up the voting bot by specifying parameters like voting power weight timing and criteria for post evaluation.
Post Evaluation: The bot continuously scans new posts on Steemit based on the defined criteria. This includes factors like post age author reputation quality engagement or specific tags.
Voting Decision: When the bot finds a post that meets the criteria it determines whether to upvote or downvote based on its programmed rules and algorithms.
Vote Execution: If the bot decides to vote it automatically casts a vote with the specified weight and timing. The weight determines the vote's influence and timing can be immediate or delayed.
Rewards: If the post receives an upvote from the bot the author may earn Steem token rewards. The rewards depend on the bot's voting power and the overall voting weight received by the post.
NOTE
Different voting bots may have their own variations and options. It's important to note that Steemit may have guidelines and restrictions for using voting bots to ensure a fair and balanced platform.
Is it worth using the bid bots to get upvotes in Steemit? |
---|
Personally in my opinion I choose not to use bid bots for upvotes on Steemit. While bid bots can provide a quick boost in visibility and potentially increase rewards I believe in the importance of organic engagement and genuine interactions within the Steemit community.
Using bid bots may give a temporary sense of success but it can create an artificial and distorted perception of the value of my content. I prefer to focus on creating high-quality and valuable posts that resonate with the community attracting genuine engagement. Building meaningful connections participating in community initiatives and fostering authentic relationships align more with my values on Steemit.
The cost associated with using bid bots whether through fees or delegating Steem Power may not be justifiable for me. I would rather allocate my resources towards further improving my content or supporting other users within the community.
I understand that bid bots serve a purpose and some users may find them useful for various reasons. However for me the integrity of the Steemit platform lies in promoting authentic content creation and fostering genuine engagement rather than relying on artificial means to boost visibility or rewards.
Why are posts with bid-bot upvotes still downvoted on Steemit and why does Steemit still punishes it's users for upvoting with bots |
---|
Through my Experience I have learned that the Steemit community has the ability to downvote posts that are supported by bots for various reasons. Bidbots are automated systems that allow users to buy votes for their posts bypasing the organic voting process. Some comunity members see this practice as manipulation where users can increase the visibility of their content without actually creating valuable or engaging content.

To discourage the use of bots and maintain the integrity of the voting system Steemit does not endore upvoted posts and penalizes users for using bots. The comunity may express their dissatisfaction by rejecting such posts. Steemit aims to promote genuine involvement and reward content based on its quality and value to the comunity without relying on automated voting services.
Steemit has implemented several strategies to address bid-bot accounts and the associated problems.

Community Downvoting: Steemit allows community members to downvote posts supported by bid-bots. This discourages the use of such accounts and indicates community disapproval.
Penalties: Steemit imposes penalties on users who engage in bid-bot voting. These penalties may include reduced rewards loss of reputation or even account suspension in severe cases. By enforcing consequences Steemit aims to discourage the use of bid-bots.
Education: Steemit puts effort into educating users about the negative impacts of bid-bots and emphasizes the importance of genuine engagement. They provide guidelines and resources to help users understand the platform's values and promote authentic content creation.
Transparency and Reporting: Steemit encourages transparency by allowing users to report instances of bid-bot abuse. They investigate reported accounts and take appropriate action against those violating the platform's guidelines.
Platform Enhancements: Steemit continually improves its algorithms and systems to identify and mitigate the influence of bid-bot accounts. This ongoing development ensures a fair and balanced environment for content creators.
NOTE
The fight against bid-bot accounts is an ongoing process and Steemit actively seeks feedback from the community to address emerging issues.
Advantages and disadvantages of voting bots in Steemit |
---|
Voting bots in Steemit offer both advantages and disadvantages. Let's explore them:
Advantages of Voting Bots: |
---|
Increased Visibility: Voting bots can help increase the visibility of your posts. By receiving upvotes from bots with significant voting power your content has a higher chance of reaching a larger audience and gaining more engagement.
Time Efficiency: Using voting bots allows you to quickly receive upvotes shortly after posting. This is beneficial if you want immediate feedback or recognition for your content without having to wait for organic engagement to build up gradually.
Reward Potential: Upvotes from voting bots can contribute to higher post rewards especially if your content is of high quality and receives additional organic engagement. This can be appealing for content creators who seek financial incentives or want to grow their Steemit earnings.
Disadvantages of Voting Bots: |
---|
Artificial Engagement: Upvotes from voting bots may give the appearance of popularity and engagement but they may not necessarily reflect genuine interest or community approval. Some users may view such engagement as artificial which can impact the authenticity of your content and your reputation on the platform.
Financial Costs: Using voting bots often comes with a financial cost. You may need to pay a fee or delegate your Steem Power to the voting bot. This cost can accumulate especially if you rely heavily on voting bots for upvotes. It's important to consider whether the potential rewards outweigh the financial investment required.
Community Perceptions: The use of voting bots can be a contentious topic within the Steemit community. Some users believe that relying heavily on voting bots contradicts the platform's principles of organic engagement fair distribution of rewards and content curation. Depending on the community you engage with using voting bots may result in negative perceptions or potential conflicts with other users.
Potential Overreliance: Relying solely on voting bots for upvotes can lead to a dependency on artificial means to gain visibility and rewards. This approach may discourage the development of organic engagement and the cultivation of genuine connections with the Steemit community.

Greetings brother @qasim78
You have posted a very nice and informative entry about that challenge and clearly gave the answers of the questions. Yes you said well that bots are an important part of the Steemit ecosystem which provides paid votes. But it is totally against the rules of Steemit platform that is why that types of users are always demotivated and discouraged by down voting and flagging their posts. That is why we should always try to avoid that kind of things and keep the Steemit ecosystem neat and authentic.
I wish you very good luck for the contest ☺️
