RE: Is Steemits' ranking system being destroyed?
I know a high rep isn't a good source for content but atleast you use to know who has put in time and effort on the platform, now that doesn't mean shit.
I didn't even realize there was a #nobidbot tag! I will be using that one on some of my upcoming post for sure, and its somewhere I will go to look for posts too..
As far as looking at my own feed, I do that often too but that doesn't help me to find new steemians with good content, I also like to help out new steemians so they have a better chance at staying on steemit.
I don't know how to solve the problem of bid bots either, I don't think they are bad all together, I just think the abuse of huge upvotes is getting out of control. I just think starting a conversation about issues is better than avoiding them. Hopefully the right people will see it. :)
Yeah, hopefully. I think the bidbot discussion is well underway, and there are people who are doing a few things. We'll see where all that goes.
Yeah, it's tough to know longevity anymore, and the bots do have a lot to do with that.
Have you gone looking at the ASAPers stuff or Newbie Resteem Day? There's a few newbie related things associated with them. They try go get through as many of the newer people's posts as they can.
