RE: How Do You Explain Upvote Bots to Potential New Members?
Explaining Steemit to a non Steemer is hard work. You really have to become a writer to make it on here, and most of the FB lot simply don't want to write more than a sentence.
Explaining that to make it to trending and be seen, you have to pay for your own advertising, really nails the coffin.
They really need to enforce these FAQ rules if something is going to change, but that would mean centralization which goes against the ethics of crypto.
I mean, it could become a viable alternative for Instagram, with something like Steepshot for example. Steemit itself is more like Medium, I think. I have a couple of friend who have blogs on Medium, but are hesitant to join Steemit, specifically because of the upvote bots.
They feel that they get a lot more exposure on Medium and it feels more real.
