RE: OkAY nOw, LeT uS GeT tHiS oVeR wItH... To bOt Or NoT tO bOt?
I see your points - and yours would qualify as a "quality post" - but people who make and run voting bots do it for the profit. Either that comes from YOU or the reward pool......Do you really believe that this post is worth around $150 before creation?! I don't. Sorry - this is a great post, as I said, but the rewards are not realistic, to me......I can't blame you for wanting a slice of the nice big pie that everyone else is gobbling into so greedily but what is steemit going to become is the question? Peace :)
Hmm, maybe we should also look at how some of the content has evolved on older soc. media like Youtube. Are the 'likes' on Youtube realistic for some of the content on there!? It's a mix of the sensational and information, but that's the diversity or current status of the platform.
I think a lot of the content on Youtube in some ways has got more competitive and therefore smarter. But they keep feeding a certain audience.
Just as with bots there are ways on Youtube for those trying to win that initial audience, to 'acquire' likes and hits just be resubbing etc, but i think for serious content providers... determination prevails and allows them to make the content they really want to. In other words: getting a following needs work you can't just get rewarded for writing quality content from the word go. That's a community and you can buy your way in to most communities. Not always ideal but unavoidable, that's life i guess. Just thoughts...
Is there a possibility of making two trending pages, one with an organic only trending, or a limited amount of bid bots used, and another trending page with no limits on the bot? That way it would give the reader some control on which trending page to personally support and read, upvote or share, and vice versa?
no, of course not :) I invested half of that 150$ into the post and doubled my money. i think? lol i wont know until the final payout. Ive invested in steem, promoted my post to get it to trend and i did accomplish that... and got lots of new followers and new people to follow.
but yeah, it really makes you wonder... is this sustainable long term?
