RE: Is Bot Activity Harmful To An Economy Such As Steemit?
It's a bit of a tricky situation, a lot of newbies are creating quality content just to make a few cents on those posts and hardly receive any votes. Many established heavy weight user only vote on their own or other whales, so many minnows have no alternative but to use bots.
indeed.
So, how do we get heavy weight users to discover and vote on new content within the platform instead of relying on secondary bots?
increase curation rewards
So, should Steemit incentive whales in some way to upvote Minnow's content? Content that may not yield as many organic rewards as just voting on another whale?
Reduced voting power costs, maybe? So, they'd be less afraid of 'wasting' votes?
Maybe a New Member page that makes it easier to curate newbie's content?
Or we expect minnows that want to be whales to make the investment needed to get there. No free lunches. No instant gratification. If you don't want to or can't bring a bunch of money to the platform to move toward whale status, then expect you will need to invest a lot of your time to get the same outcome.
