RE: Let's talk about voting bots
When I asked the question of the visibility of the respective views - click counters - in several places, the majority of wise people told me: it already existed (in this ominous Steem universe before my time ;-)) and was deliberately hidden. Precisely to make the automated voting behaviour a little more opaque...
The view counters did exist for a while. I always assumed that they were turned off because the numbers were so low, not necessarily to hide the automated voting. For example, it was sort-of strange to see a post with 5 or 10 views valued at $50 or $100.
Do you know who is permitted to make such addition...? Or who has the possibility...? These are such bohemian villages for me...
As far as I know, there's no way to measure views across all web sites & dapps, so each web site operator would need to implement their own. For steemit.com (which is what I was referring to above), it would have been Steemit, Inc. If I recall correctly, SteemPeak had measurements, too - but those measurements were only visible to the owner of the account. (It's been a while now, so I'm not 100% sure if I remember that right).
