RE: WHAT'S YOUR VIEW ON BOTS? Promotion tool or necessary evil? Let me share my personal view.
If you use bid bots for visibility, you are a loser and you'd be better off doing yourself a favor and hanging yourself.
Are you not busy going bankrupt with d.tube, @heimindanger?
That is such a lovely way to talk to the community.
You should be ashamed of yourself speaking to anyone like that.
(upvoted your shitty comment for visibility purposes)
Not talking to the community as a whole. I believe there are countless good-willed people around here and you could be one of those.
I'm talking to the part of the community that is destroying the original purpose of this network (ranking contents), because of their greed and personal needs for attention.
Im seriously confused. How come you ended up here and who are you talking to? is there someone here destroying anything?
I believe the bid bots usage leads to a distorted trending for the whole steem network and goes totally against the end goal
that's true. but why 'trending page' means so much to everyone.
it's like choosing between:
our goal should not make it even harder for beginners. i managed to build some audience but i see other people struggling and many of them give up already
i hear that. i get more for a single art, with no words, than i do for my 3-4000 words.
why put in a stack of effort, adn get nothing, except a headache from looking at the screen for 4 hrs, typing?
from what i understand it is someone trying to hang himself - someone stop him!
thank you for your support @jonny-clearwater

So I totally disagree with this comment.
I've said this before in other comments. Currently there is 0 reason for anyone to join this platform. Any newbie user that comes onto steemit will be discouraged because they will get 0 interaction.
Unless they have a whale willing to upvote them why join?
Well the bots give people a reason to join. At least they can get some visibility on their posts.
Your comment is self centered and doesn't take into consideration the experience of a new user on steemit. I would hope that you take a step back and think about why someone would use a bot in the first place.
I agree completely. As a new user who was looking forward to providing high quality content it is very discouraging to see the overall low quality of the content and massive power of a few to reward posts that are, frankly, not all that good. Perhaps it is a good sign that most of the high quality posts and comments are around these very issues.
hi @toddrjohnson
I see you just started your adventure on steemit. I will be happy to support you.
thank you for commenting. already followed back ;)
unfortunatelly I agree with all your points. it's very easy to get discouraged at the very beginning.
thank you for your comment. I appreciate it a lot
And this is the man behind D-Tube......?
ikr. ive just spent 4 hrs trying to post a video. 'please upload a video' - yeah, i did that already.... waits another hour 'upload a video'
fkthis-imout
lol
So, why everyone are here? To be known...
But sometimes you made a great post, your balance is zero. And then you need to invest some SBD in promote yourself and -why not- paying for bots. That doesn't make you a loser. Here is a people who didn't use it and still make money, That's good. But we must understand the right reason about if their lukness is the exceptional case or they are promoted by someone else. And if don't have that luck, they're forced to buy bots, very simple.
i absolutelly agree with you @maikelblogo

Agreed! It's either cow-tow and sing the tune a whale wants to hear or pay your own way to make your own way.

A bit excessive of a comment, don't you think? Certainly could have chosen some different words for your distaste of the bots. I dislike them very much but I try to voice that eloquently..
thank you for your comment @cmplxty
