RE: Vlog 312: Steemhunt, vote bots, incentives and why they need SMT's.
The flaw is clear though, it's most likely that not the bests hunts are in top 10.
Nothing new there then @exyle.
I like @abh12345's suggestion that he referred to in his article yesterday about how @steemstem is trying to tackle this. Pretty clever I thought! 😊
Thanks Gillian
As steemstem team are manually curating, they will be able to check for bot use and plan accordingly. I think they allow some bots, but the size of the bid is a factor.
It's not ideal here though with a bot voting the Hunts based on number of up-votes, and I think they need to look at this one sharpish!
I agree @abh12345. It's even more critical with a review site.
Reminds me a bit of Amazon. The reviews there are totally meaningless now due to manipulation by sellers.
If they don't sort it then someone else will just build a better version when SMTs are available, I would think.
oops, wrong account :)
I think steemhunt has affiliate links out to amazon for the produces Hunted that are sold on the site.
So with a bunch of bought votes promoting the 'best' Hunts and products...… I'm going to say no more :)
Blimey. That didn't take long did it? 😱 😁
What do you mean? 🤣
@zapncrap is my play account, he's friendly though - votes for lots of people!
