RE: From Writer to Whale Groupie? - Steemit from a content creator perspective 1
Very true. That's why I think they are constantly changing and trying new things. If delegated SP voting can be made to work it should accelerate the process. I totally understand what you are saying though. If I had the computing know how I would put myself forward as a witness with the pledge that I would only manually curate content and try to look for new gems.
For manual curation, it might be helpful to have a different kind of bot: not a "whale bot" as described recently by @dantheman but rather a bot that prefilters content for your manual attention.
As it stands, the signal-to-noise ratio and the volume of the raw feed of new content is such that manual handling is getting tricky unless one can devote oneself to it almost full-time. It could be useful for a "bot" to filter out e.g. simple reposts (without editorial additions) of content from elsewhere on the net, carelessly written filler pieces that just randomly scratch the surface of some well-known issue, thinly-veiled advertising etc.
Interesting question to what extent such pre-filtering could be automated.
