RE: Manual Curation & Changes to Bid-Bot
Well stated. There's going to be a lot of experimentation in reaction to the HF. The projects with the best ideas to adapt will be the ones that survive and thrive, this is in contrast to the ones that lash out at the community in their death throws.
Im actually hoping that bots will slowly shift into "Curation services"
This seems like a good step in that direction. This goes way beyond simply implementing anti-abuse measures you should have already implemented months and months ago.
Nothing regarding anti-abuse is simple. A user can behave completely fine for a year, and out of a sudden promote content that is clearly classified as abuse. You might still remember the banfield bathroom incident.
However, there are plans in the works to fight abuse like never before. Whether those are successful is not guaranteed, but we're doing our best.
Agreed, but there's a wide gap between attempting to and not bothering to. If that is the plan then I applaud those efforts.
Once we've done the re-design, we'll be monitoring the progress. If the situation does not improve, moving away from the current promotion model is of course on the table. But we're confident to be able to improve things.
Regardless, this is still great news!
