RE: Operation Clean Trending
Other than moving to an alternative platform, perhaps one based on EOS, I don't see any particular solution other than perhaps attempting to make the bidbots unprofitable to use. Hurt their scheme by hurting its customers.
It's being done. It won't be enough.
The real fly in the soup is stake-weighting, which will precipitate profiteering without fail. Even on Steemit v.2 that @dan is building. Given his sentiments, I expect stake-weighting to feature on his new platform.
Before there were bots, there was circle-jerking, and self-votes. Actually, there have always been bots, but it's a veritable infestation now. Much worse than before.
Dealing with stake-weighting may solve the bot problem.
A cure worse than the disease, according to some. I disagree, but I'm not very avaricious.
