RE: This is the final proof, that STEEM is doomed to FAIL!
The bots can't be carrying a whole lot of weight when there is over 90 votes and only $3 in payout. We do the sky is falling on Steemit or we can write and contribute.
I have found that writing legit comments, aka my actual thoughts, on a post carries more weight than any curating efforts at my level. I doubt I'm alone on that.
If you include the negative votes, and the bots like @wang that can count the words of the content, and those humans that only care about the rewards but not the quality, IT IS A LOT OF WEIGHT.
Speak out the problems is important, we have to face it. If we ignore the problems, it's like living in a dream or bury our head into sand.
What you are missing is that the bots performed poorly on that post and are losing their money to dilution. The reward ended up being $3 so the curation rewards were negligible (at most $0.75 total). The dumb bots will lose money and the smartest bots, or perhaps even for a time only humans, will make money. This is the market working, but because we are early in the game everyone including dumb bots is an early adopter and there is still a bit of easy money to be made. That will change as the system matures.
