RE: Are Bid-bots Good For Steemit? - Yes or No? - Best Argument For Each Position Wins 5 Steem!
The most negative effect I've experienced is lots of artists and creatives that Ive been following for almost a year, leaving the platform. Bidbots devalue everyone else's time while making a profit from a gambling system. I might be wrong, but won't investors get worried if the main system on Steemit is earning money through possibly illegal gambling? Loot boxes got enough attention so governments had to do something about it. It's a risky game for short term profits for only a few.
Hey Kristy. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on the subject. I'm not going to express my own opinions on this post as I have already done so in the past but I just wanted to agree with you about the artists and others who've come and gone in the time since we've been here. There's definitely something that needs addressing in terms of retention of users. :(
I'm missing a lot of familiar names in my feed these days. I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with bots or not but it is a shame nevertheless. :(
I actually stuck around coz it's a hobby for fun and to de-stress :P I still hope to see some artists return, just like I did. I had to take a break for personal reasons, so I guess some others did too.
I will be trying out the upcoming ONO social media for creatives. Apparently I can even revive some of my old Steemit posts :)
The thing I hate most I guess is that posts are dead and useless after 7 days. On ONO it should supposedly be different.
My brother is enjoying Steemit, but I totally lowered his expectations before he joined xD
