RE: 10 little idiots: trying to answer | if everyone delegates to bidbots?
Hello Mr Popular been busy ruffling feathers lol.
It does appear so.
You are lucky as you got involved with Steemit early on and could grow. What about the new people we are totally screwed.
Yeah, this is what I am trying to work out. the Bidbots are not the answer.
I enjoyed the comments as a lot of sense is spoken here and the replies are more than one line which is rare in Steemit.
Sometimes it gets interesting too :)
There is one solution that may work. You are only allowed a percentage of posts with bidbots. If you posted 10 articles a week why not allow a 30 percent ie 3 of the posts to be botted. That way the other 7 articles would have to be at least half decent or they get nothing. It would also free up the stealing of the reward pool. I may be wrong but it would create a better balance and at least they are still getting there money albeit a little less plus they would have to participate in the community to get back to where they were financially.
perhaps but it would require an updated list that all bots hold and not even all bots are listed. There are 'dark' bots too. It seems that profit over participation which essentially kills any concept of community.
At least it would be a start. This way you are still keeping bots for those that use them. Obviously the dark bots (didn't know about them) you can't control for now. Just saying it would be a compromise and could work.
A fair deal in business is when both parties are not overly happy. A balance has to be struck so they up it to half the posts then. That would free up half of what is being currently taken in the reward pool.
There are also the problems with alt accounts. Because there are no real enforceable limitations, even if one account is limited, they can just send the votes to another.
