RE: Steem is a Free Market, Therefore Buying Votes is Voluntary and Not a Problem (or is it?)
Thanks @krnel to giving my multitasking brain some food for thought.
- I've been thinking of doing a post along the lines of:
- I LOVE & BELIEVE IN FREE MARKET
- Given the opportunity (which is rare nowadays) the free market helps the most amount of people...
- I LOVE & BELIEVE IN FREE MARKET
- I have been looking at Steemit (the current hard fork) as the law.
- You cannot break this law.
- That is impossible, because it is hard-wired right into the program...
- You cannot break this law.
- Here in the United States, we have the Constitution which is the law of the land.
- If in the course of human events, the Constitution is found lacking, it can be amended to correct problems.
- I think we must trust the whales to correctly influence the progress of "amending" the Steemit program, to correct problems.

- I've been on the fence regarding vote bots.
- I've experimented a bit with them and have seen an increase in cash flow, but have not figured out how to see if it was actually a profitable adventure.
- IMHO, if the voting bots are "legal" why does anyone have any "right" to say people shouldn't use them? Even if it's for copy-paste crap...?
- Please note. That is my IMHO today. I reserve the right to a completely different IMHO tomorrow. For I am constantly trying to learn about this platform...

Hopefully posts such as yours keeps the discussion going,
- resulting in positive change
- so Steemit gets better and better
- on its march to becoming the #1 Social Media Platform!!!

What do you think happens if a majority of people use the services? Will you get a return and profit? No, because the voting bots power will be saturated, and the vote you get won't be worth as much. This scheme/scam only works because not everyone "plays". The way Steem was designed for people to earn votes through other people voting, does work when applied to everyone on the platform. Vote buying does not. It fails when applied to everyone engaging in that behavior.
