RE: 0000000000000111 - Proposal to Change Focus
So I also had to come to terms with this phenomenon.
Same here. Upvoting services like Tipu allow users with little power to get big upvotes - making it harder to stop (until ac-cheetah became so powerful). UpVu presents a different challenge as the delegations to it mean that users can't upvote each other so if everybody did it (and why wouldn't they?) then there's little incentive to engage with other users or post anything at all. You could probably work out what percentage of Steem is currently with voting bots and I wouldn't be surprised if this percentage continues to increase whilst users reinvest their profit.
I fully trust your views
Thanks. I'm not sure that I trust them 🤣
did you get information about Steemit.com traffic?
Sadly not. I asked and my request was ignored. Which makes me wonder if whoever has the login details was in the original Steemit team that left a couple of years ago.
I plan to make a new calculation and compare with the previous one. I am sure that voting bots will increase their dominance.
I hope you include Google Analytics code in your new interface, although it may slow down the page load by a few milliseconds.
Because so many users on Steemit and the like value their anonymity, I think there'll be an unusually high number that use Brave or a browser that prevents tracking of their activity so I'll probably need some fairly decent server logging instead (or as well). I've not really thought about tracking yet so will need to think about what information would be useful to collect and why.
