I checked out that view and like it 100% more, although I might still have questions about the system of what gets filtered out: Are there posts that could potentially be falsely flagged by an algorithm? I'm just curious, is all.

Glad you like it 🙂

For the bot users, I have a list of known voting bots (which probably needs updating) and then every 12 (or 24, I can't quite remember) hours, a list of users who have delegated to each voting bot is updated.

For the blacklisted authors, there are a few possibilities - they might post plagiarised content, they most post shit / lazy content or I might just dislike them. I basically blacklist people / content that most would consider to be trash (I've also not updated this list for a while).

For blacklisted tags - these are posts filtered out that have used a hashtag that is known to attract a high level of shit content. It might be a specific community or simply the #krsuccess tag. Like all of the lists mentioned, they're maintained manually so I haven't updated them recently.

There's still quite a lot of low quality content seeping through but the current options filters out about 60% of existing content on Steemit (I can't remember the exact amount but I remember it being more than half of all posts)!
