RE: How Do You Explain Upvote Bots to Potential New Members?
Yeah, it's like explaining prostitution to a toddler. Awkward.
Hilarious :'D
A different type of front page would be nice, but you'd still have the issue that post ranking is determined by vote sizes. I guess they filter out bot-upvoted posts, but that would also turn them against their largest investors.
I do agree that for being a completely different approach to social media, Steemit does work incredibly well. It's completely normal that we have these sorts of issues, since it's a stake-based voting system after all. My biggest 'complaint' is the lack of a roadmap regarding the voting bot issue, I would assume that this isn't exactly intended behavior.
I agree, the voting bots have too much power at the moment. Another way to improve the front page would be to weigh votes by UserAuthority, a new kind of reputation score that was just launched.
