RE: The Domination of Steem by Vote-Selling Witnesses
Using the massive SP of your bidbots to vote your witness spot, that’s dirty pool in my mind. Bots shouldn’t be able to vote for witnesses, but the system knows no different.
Bottom line, if people would set aside greed, pride, and popularity and just do what it right, things would be amazingly different.
I have the opportunity in my occupation to make more money for myself and charge the customer more because it is overtime. Instead I ask them is they absolutely need electricity to their pump tonight. If so it will cost them twice as much to have us fix it than it would to wait until Monday to fix it. Ya I could have said nothing and worked all night long and made $1000 or more but that just isn’t right. Give the customer the option. If they want to fork over the cash then ok I will work. If they can wait until a weekday then it saves them money, yet it takes extra money out of my pocket.
Oh well
That’s how I roll, but maybe I’m just different.
That's the thing. Some people just don't know how to to do that.
Greed can get to the best of us at times, everyone has been greedy a time or two.....or 10 😉
Sow a good seed and you will reap good fruit.
You covered so much in this post and I hope the right people find it and It is enough to get them to step back and evaluate their actions.
I think that is really problematic and a serious flaw in the Witness voting system. It's basically self-voting, but worse.
This whole bidbot thing just keeps getting worse and worse. From a false sense of achievement to utilizing them to to increase your witness vote. What a racket!!
