RE: Moonbot : One Small Step for Man, One Giant Step for Mankind
hi sir, you are right in your observation it is definitely a much better approach to benefit meaningful contents. But in reality, we cannot tell people that their votes must only be used for specific purpose. There are many good artists that gets overlooked. Although I support this effort (@moonbot), there are other communities that I am trying to build which will give revenues to artists, one of them is paywithsteem which will have an artist's segment where sales generated will be partly shared with the artist. The will be an incoming initiate which I strongly believe @moonbot will be supporting is a community building project called 'steemit-cartoon'. This is to give wider publicity and more exposure to cartoonists.
I agree with you in every aspect of your comment. But there is also the commercial side of steemit that we cannot ignore, but despite this approach, we constantly remind ourselves there initiatives for community must still go hand in hand.
Hi, I hear you, but voting bots are deaf and dumb! The very artists you wish to support are losing rewards to those who may not deserve it. The rewards pool is not bottomless and bots simply dilute the value of uploads from those of us who upvote discerningly. Besides, It’s not only the upvote you should be seeking - it’s genuinely interested follower who wants to support you. No bot can deliver that. Bots are not ‘the commercial side of steemit’. In this case it’s just a cover for greed and it is counter-productive.
