RE: A Possible Cure For Steem?
That might be the truth now, but the sooner we start to work together, the faster we will be able to change that my friend.
Inmediate solutions are what have driven the world to the disaster that is today
I whole-heartedly agree with you there!
I run a weekly SBD giveaway with the intention of forming a self-help support group that does NOT include the use of vote-bots (I believe they are damaging the SOCIAL aspect of this site). I would be pleased to have you as a regular participant and contributor to that effort.
Well there are good bots and bad bots.
What you are describing sounds very similar to what i'm trying to implement in small scale for Venezuelan Steemians, and i think if we have a chat we both can share and expand our goals and points of view.
I can resume my main strategy into: using the techniques of evil to make good...
For example i made a twitter bot that monitors and auto Retweets #ServicioPublico hashtags in twitter during the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
If you autorize it your account helps spread the message requesting medical supplies... (You become part of a good bot-net)
I'm working in an ethical voting bot for encouraging participation in an Ágora (A pilot for my country but that can be replicated in every society)
Oh yes, that sounds wonderful. I'm certain that there are ways to do good using automation. However, this is a SOCIAL PLATFORM, so when we automate functions that should be done by humans, we remove the Social aspects from the platform. Many of the vote-bots were made with the intention of doing good, but there are side effects that were not expected. Of course some of those vote bots were made with the sole purpose of making more money for the creator of the bot. Unfortunately, both types do cause undesired side effects.
I have no clue about programming and creating these bots, so I do admire those who are able to do that sort of thing. I would be very happy to chat with you about working together for a common goal.
