RE: Are Bid-bots Good For Steemit? - Yes or No? - Best Argument For Each Position Wins 5 Steem!
There are enough people on this planet living life in robot mode. So, I don't think we need robots doing the same.
Assuming that the humans using SteemIt are like other humans, I suspect that people will discuss politics on the platform. As soon as political candidates start using it as part of their campaigns, the Steemit Community will find itself pulled into nasty political discussions.
Is an upvote for a political candidate a campaign contribution? Is the purchase of bots a campaign expense?
The bots will be a major bone of contention along with the international flavor of the community with people yelling that Russia is trying to interfere with the election through Steem.
The widespread use of bots makes will amplify the political use of the platform.
Thanks a lot for adding to the conversation and sharing your thoughts with us @yintercept. You make some really interesting points concerning a possible and potential future for steemit that many would do well to consider. I like the forward thinking. :)
Hope your day is going well my friend.
