RE: Why distribution is important
This issue has been discussed over and over again yet no change, it only gets worse, more bots are being coming up.. At the end of the day, people are going to do what they will do.. After all, it is their Investment and Money, so they believe they have the right to do whatever with it regardless of the negative impacts it has on the community.. I won't blame them much, humans are greedy and selfish by nature..
Let's do the best we can do individually regardless of our stake in the system, hopefully things will get better..
There is no problem with more and more bots coming up, as you can see here in the comments there are plenty of good bots too. I am mainly talking about the selfishness of some users and those creating middlemen services which bring little value to the blockchain and unfairly enrich the creators based on greed of investors, i.e. bid bots.
When I say bots, I meant the ones being selfishly.. Sorry I wasn't clear earlier..
Have you checked Steeve out yet? It seems to offer a good front end with option to filter out bid bot posts. You have the reach to start shifting people over to front ends like that, perhaps even do a campaign for limited time where you curate only not promoted posts?

Equally greedy, maybe more, are humans who come here without forking any of their own money and expect those who do put in a lot of their money to carry all the burden of making the platform work.
