Are Bots Taking Over Steemit? (My Thoughts About The Bots)
Some Steemians are enraged and some are just confused about the way voting works on Steemit. It can be frustrating and hopefully this pool meeting sheds a little bit of insight into what is going on with the votes on Steemit and this also shares my thoughts on the subject as well.
Be a master of the machines! My pool pump, washing machine, dryer, AC, computers, and microwave are all running right now!
Also during the video I reference Chinese "Click Farms." These can have 10,000+ phones all set up to like and follow people on sites like Twitter and Instagram. People are willing to pay for that so it is big business. Will this happen on Steemit as well?

Thank you for reading my post and please consider following me @brianphobos
This issue really needs addressing. These days i can see very few real good steemians welcoming newbies. Almost we have left that work to the bots as every other bot welcomes people to the platform. The difference between the bot and the human is, love and communication ensue and that fets to allow the newbie to stay on the platform. I think there should be a limit to the amount of bots to be created. There should be a lincense board or something to regulate the activities of bots. Else we will all br burried in bots.
There is no way to limit the amount of bots. I'm a bot human hybrid actually. A cyborg of sorts.
SWEET!!!!

Hi, my reply is now hidden because of a cyberbully.
So, @donkeypong is flagging all of my blogs and replies to intentionally ruin my rep score.
If anyone likes to stand up to bullies, go and flag @donkeypong as much as possible and lets ruin a rep score that deserves to be ruined.
If you are against censorship, tell @donkeypong to stop acting like the censorship police .
@donkeypong is a cyberbully, stalker and harasser.

Considering other networks, this is inevitable. But we can prevent or at least try if we are honest members. Of course, a large number of people will try to gain profits regardless of the sustainability of the network.
Well just because some of us are operating bots doesn't mean we aren't honest. If there is money to be made doing so people are going to do it. Things will continue to be automated more and more as time goes on.
From that point of view it's ok to me. But, for example my friends and I always discussing should we make some bot, even for fun, or it's not moral and fair to other users. Now I have no dilemma.
Thanks for this! Also I tend to be on the conservative side so this was a good shift of my perception.
No problem. There are a lot of ways to look at things.
Interesting post. I believe that bots will be major players here in steemit. They will continue to come. While they can certainly affect voting, rep, and rewards, it's still up to us, real humans to deliver good content and make this a valuable community.
That is very true! Bots have a hard time being funny and artistic!
Did you make your youtube channel just for steemit?
Yeah that particular YouTube Channel is just for Steemit.
There are coming more bots. If you look at the introduceyourself tag you get like 5-6 bots that welcome you. That's becoming unreal and unnecessary. If there are good services then its valuable (e.g. Minnowsupport) but the bots that aren't needed should go away.
There was an early bot named @wang that basically got rich with a bot that would welcome you. It was pretty crazy.
I was like is that the terminator behind you? Then saw that urgent title. Then your post to find out about it. great job writing this up @brainphobos
Thanks for attending the pool meeting!
Cool lots of great advice thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
