RE: Bots upvoting posts? An investigation
Definitely. I'm not at all saying bots should be banned, and that's a debate that's worth having. I touched upon this issue here - https://steemit.com/steemit/@liberosist/steemservices-cleaning-up-steemit-in-a-big-way
But these upvoting bots are random posting bots are just malicious and dangerous and must be stopped. I have tried starting a discussion a couple of times now, but of course it has to be a more influential steemer for the matter to be taken seriously.
True, and I'm sure there are many people posting about this even if you are not receiving a large audience. The more people that talk about it, the more likely influential people are to see it and bring it to attention. Doesn't matter if it is a minnow or a whale who makes a great suggestion to help lots of people. I would like the bots that do not add any value or proof they have even read the article or added a thoughtful comment to be removed. And their voting power must be limited to almost next to nothing with all the upvoting done quickly. It's a shame that they want to add spam, when a well thought out comment could make them 100's or even 1000's of dollars. Reputation is everything and if you are annoying people notice and may make sure your content receives almost no reward
