RE: Say hello to the NettyVoter Bid Bot - 0.10 SBD minimum bid, 50% votes, 1.2 hour periods
I don't mind bots. Just voting bots. I use them for publicity sure. Just the fear of another bot to be abused. Making it as easy as just spending 0.25 to earn $1 leads to lower quality content. We should be trying to improve visibility for real accounts. Not letting them get lost in all the spam. I get this is a way for you to make $$ I just hope you don't let it be abused like others.
EDIT: Paying others is what creates spam btw
EDIT EDIT: Also kind of explains why you didn't care about the @promoted bot that's causing all the spam.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: lol I arrived here accidentally btw. Not my intention to slander you or anything close. I can see how the "EDIT EDIT" may appear as so. I just meant you cant go bringing up another bots problems and then release yours a week later. It would seem like you were doing it for slanderous reasons to promote your own.
The voting bots are great. It doesnt lower the quality, quite the opposite. If a bad blogger writes trash content and promotes it, it's still trash content. Sure he will make a little bit more money. But for those who write good content it's a great tool to get more traction and a lot more votes.
But it doe's lower the quality. It is not a trash blogger that is my concern. It is people who abuse those bots and it does happen. I have clearly pointed out how to you.(In the past)
EDIT: whoops just presumed it was netuso I was replying too.

And what about those with great content who use bots to reach more people? Is that wrong too, according to you? It doesnt really matter if someone with crap content uses bots to earn more. He won't get any more engagement because..well, his content still suck.
My issue was with spam. Please actually read the link I provided.
