RE: Steem Experiment: No Bots vs Botted
I think this post is quality and I actually just found it in the new section, because I felt it stood out.
So I think manual curation can and should be possible. Else steemit is not a social blog site, and just turns into a gamified blockchain experiment run by computers.
Everybody talks about getting their posts noticed, but if you pay for that then you're just trying to shout louder than the next guy.
And you might lose sight of why you're blogging in the first place.
I believe that if you enjoy writing then you already got the reward just from doing it and quite often the audience will follow in time because the passion and joy will flow effortlessly through your words.
Indeed...
I agree and that's what I already argued with some people about, but said people see the blog as a job and a full-time money maker, so for that reason it's advertising and business as usual.
On the other hand, @teamsteem also made a valid point that if good content producers dont use bots, then bad ones will monopolize the hot and trending pages, giving a bad "window shopping" experience to outside people.
They might be right, but you could also argue that if people didn't use the bots it would be easier for the big-SP curators to bring good posts to the hot page.
And the window shopping experience right now in this bot-controlled environment is all about flag wars and reward pool cheating. So not the best first experience anyway.
