RE: I Wonder If Bid Bots Can Be Made Less Harmful?
These 10 posts will be boring, that's for sure. There is a big difference when there will be 10 uninteresting posts every day or 1000 like now. Also, I thought these 10 posts would be published in one separate tag. That way no one will come across them.
There is also an obvious advantage for investors, because they will not have to publish anything and they will receive the maximum profit. I think that if such a bot appeared, it would become a leader among existing bots.
Yes, there would be less for sure, but they would still be the top posts on the trending page very likely... which in all honesty could make it look even worse if the top 10 posts on trending all said "voted for delegation payments" and had nothing else to them...
Personally I liked the idea of filtering all the posts that used a bidbot or delegation service and excluding them from the trending page. Only posts that were voted by users would show up on trending... though we would need that to be part of the DIP program or the steemit development team, which doesn't seem it exists at this point.
