RE: A look at transparency and hiding beneath the surface
Nice post on this important topic. What strikes me is that if new users use the bots extensively, they have to bring some SBD from an exchange as an investment. Or they are all side/alt accounts? Interesting. 🤔
It is kind of interesting isn't it? SBD has high prices, bidbots really only take SBD. The people buying in however really only have to buy once unless they are buying bots at a loss.
I may start to think that every platform can be farmed. On Insta and facebook people buy followers from clickfarms. Here they buy votes from bots. It's just one big ball of shit ... is there any platform that is kinda sincere, I have my doubts. Where the masses crave for fame or money, few will make a business out of it.
Yeah. They should at least be honest and open about it and advertise it as such instead of claiming how different it is from other places. The only difference between here and the centralised platforms are the number of dicks once bent over :P
Maybe the idea of such a platform is utopic, as soon as the people come in greed and easy money take over. Human nature is a bit weird.
Any change for the better is idealistic as given the information of the moment, it is what it is. Though, that shouldn't stop us from trying and enacting change. The introduction of 'easy money' is a personal hurdle that many can't surmount. The drive of the ego to have more than the next person is endless until one reflects on the process and the implications. Our society as a whole no longer encourages self-reflection though, despite all the Facebook and Instagram -esque quotes on sunset photos.
It's just sad that the majority seems to be not interested in self-reflection. Steemit has already a quite high percentage of users that tink for themselves. It is way worse on other big platforms. Not to mention cryptorelated telegram chats...Lambo! Moon! 😱
I agree we should try to get better, even if it's like good old Don Quichote fighting the windmills.
