Whales?? Wake up please!
Just a simple message here.
Suddenly we have many more powerful paid voting bots that got HUGE delegations and that let posts stick to the trending forever. Just look at the trending now and tell me if those posts deserve to be there??
I read many times whales supporting the idea paid voting bots are bad for this platform and the trending page should be fixed, but they keep delegating to paid bots. WTF?
F*** The Paid Bots
Do you realise if I have some money to spare i could buy votes from all of them and stick to the trending forever whatever is the sh** I am writing about? I mean, this is quite obvious already!
Why Not Delegating to Steem Projects Instead?
You got hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions Steem and your best idea is to give them to paid bots. Congratulations!
There are so many projects trying to get out from the dark and many of them are AMAZING! You should not even waste one cent for these stupid bots and delegate all what u have to STEEM BASED PROJECTS.
At the end this is your investment and for sure investing in paid bots is not gonna be as beneficial as supporting the best steem based projects.
Paid voting bots should not have hundreds of thousands of delegated steem, for sure not millions! Instead we have projects with almost zero delegation and paid bots with millions delegated. Does not make sense, at all.
Are You Lazy?
DM me. I have a list of dozens of projects that could benefit from some delegation and a list of bots from which the delegation should be taken away. You don't have to "waste" your time to look for good projects to delegate to. People here are already doing that for u. You just have to push the delegation button, for one time, on the right things.
I totally agree!
Thank you @elear. Being somewhat of a newbie and collaborating on the development of a steem community, this is a concern as we learn more regarding paid bots. This is one of the reason why we are Steemians and not on FB, IG, YT, etc. I will pass on your valuable comments to my co-founders.
Hi @elear ! I totally agre with you. There are so many great things going on with the steem blockchain. @utopian-io is updating as the speed of light with improvements everywere, and this projects you mention could really benefit all the blockchain if they had about 10% of all this delegation to paying bots.

Maximizing those profits was always the name of the game here on steemit, never ending cycle of greed is constantly repeating. It would be perfect if every whale would look further than their own profits and look for the greater good of the community, the unfortunate reality is that there are more and more greedy whales coming into steem blockchain and we all have to live with that fact.
Nice post friend and i agree with your points vote selling or buying a vote from a bot is not a good idea to work in steemit because at the end user who buy a vote not able to gain profit from it and the peoples who delegating their sp to such voting are also wasting their sp instead of that they can delegate their sp to utopian-io which is a brilliant project and beneficial for all users, thanks for sharing your nice thoughts with us, Stay blessed
Whoa are you telling me that making money incentivizes people?????
I am totally new here, but what You are saying here seems quite terrifying for me, because the very first reason I decided to use this platform is its transparency and fairness and those bots seem to mess up with it a lot. It's disappointing and misleading especially for new users coming in right now, looking at trending feed and asking ourselves - are those really the best posts? REALLY?
I am happy some are already delegating to meaningful projects and to users too. I hope your messages get to change some who haven't already. Thank you.
The Bid Bots are just too popular, because of the easy and instant returns.
We created a community Bot that gives back to its users, and it is free to use @steemdunk Now how much delegation did that Community Bot get from the whales - 0
I agree with you @elear, the paid bots take away from the steemit platform. I honestly, don't really see the benefit that these bots add to the community. Like you, I would also like to see this money be spent on more productive projects in the steemit community. This will only add benefit to the community overall and attract more users for sustainable growth.
