RE: Auto up-voting is becoming a problem. Will it sort itself out over time?
This could be a problem now, that there are only a few whales that everyone wants to upvote. But if steemit becomes succesfull then we could have 1.000 whales and houndreds of posts per minute.. you could also have a very viral post from a non-whale that bots wont catch. There are also very few people with the knowledge and the skills to create a bot, most people will just use steam as a blog... So, in conclusion I wouldnt worry to much about the bots in the long run.
I agree, the problem of bots is magnified at present because there are so few user.
When there are millions of users, we'll have a better idea how spam bots will play out on this platform and how it can best be addressed. It's social media none of the major players are immune to it.
