RE: In a response to a comment on my last post (what is the real issue)
Yes you are correct @anthonyadavisii it doesn't make it right! i totally agree!!
- I think boosting in itself rates poorly on the platform
- Exceptional amount? can you point me to the link on the rules of the bidding bots and the amounts
that can be used?? - I think you are promoting laziness too by targeting me and not others!
I don't think i am being dishonest in anyway! Now i might not understand the value of steem's curation algorithm correctly! So by what you are saying the bots effect this? and this is what is effecting it working properly?
All I want us to do is give better appraisals to the quality of our content which includes not boosting it WAY over what is reasonable for the type of content otherwise it is bid bot abuse. If we all do what you are doing, Steem is not sustainable as how will investors be able to take us seriously as a blogging platform?
Hint: They won't.
That's exactly what I am saying and it doesn't change unless we are the change. Thank you.
So is there not a way to have the bots kicked off the platform if they are the cause of this? If they are the root of the problem is this not exceptable?
It has been for some time but people are slowly starting to realize it is far from the ideal. Read the last post by @edicted I resteemed. It talks about these issues and how we can work together to solve them.
that was a very good artical thanks for sharing. I apologize for my actions and have no ill will. I think i am more upset about seeing other posts where nothing is said. I will stop my actions and support pob have a good day sir @anthonyadavisii
Hi Anthony, while there are a lot of people that do agree with you, it has also become clear that bots are accepted by many in the community.
Bots have some value for us. For example, I started utilizing the steemvoter app so that I can be upvoting people when I'm too busy to be here. Additionally, this ability draws in investors because people that invest in things like to earn money passively.
The content producers of the community are the engine of this blockchain, but it also depends on getting fuel to run. The thing about that lifeblood effect, investors, is that they tend to not want to be active. For this reason, bots are a great value to the community and a symbiotic relationship can form between investor and content producer.
The real problems I see here is that its not a true meritocracy, or at least, it doesn't encourage effort enough. I hate the very concept of SBDs, its confusing and needless. The math could be much simpler if we only had STEEM and VESTS and rewarded at least something for a positive action.
I wish there was at least a minimum reward for all people. When I upvote someone's comment it should never be 0 rewards for them, at the very least they should get 0.001, and I'm happy for us to add more decimals there so that we can reward at least 0.000001 STEEM. In that case, we're guaranteeing growth of the small.
We both know quality content doesn't simply go up to the top because its quality. That's just the reality. Plus, the design is not set up to properly reward quality either, because of that stupid 7 day reward limit on profits. Its a fast food design that will lead to fast food quality content. If we want quality content we need to pay them enough for it and people are not getting enough for quality here, not yet. But I can't imagine them ever getting enough when the revenue earned only fits within a 7 day window...
