RE: The Dehumanizing Factor of Voting Bots
What are your thoughts on manual voting from a curator and their trails?
I share your thoughts that money talks and I've seen way too many posts that have a high reward because of some big trails and then you look at the interactivity of the post or viewcount or the viewcount of the video and its many times lower than a small % of the SD it is being rewarded.
The worst is when this happens from curators or bots that don't even curate on other content or try and distribute the votes on a wide variety of authors. Greed is a big factor in it.
We are all greedy. Greed runs the world no doubt. The point here is the mentality I think. The old guns of crypto that pretty much are the whales, still have the short-term investment mentality. I agree you can't really convince them otherwise, but they have to realize that things are changing in the crypto-sphere.
There is a massive opportunity for Steemit to become greater than facebook. If they start treating curation as a human act the rewards will be much greater int he future. There is a huge wave of newcomers and they need to experience this human-to-human reward rather than a random faceless robot. They need to see it as an investment, not a pump and dump.
Part of the reason people are fed up with Facebook is because they are not treated as individuals. We have the opportunity to do this here and still remain greedy.
I think its gotten a lot better now during the experiment, I don't think it would hurt to start delegating more inactive SP to new curators and fresh minds that join the platform. Not having the same curators all the time would do it good I think.
I agree. The entire crypto pump helped a lot as well. We need to ride this wave of change wisely.
