RE: Some Bot Drama again?
Reputation has almost no meaning in here or at least for me not. I look in trending and without the bots there are only +70 rep accounts which some post same content every day.
You are completely right that the bot influences the reputation, but only the bots that have a high reputation. If a bot has reputation of 25 his influence will be minimal or almost to zero.
The Bottracker tool has like most things, two sides, the good one, you know what to pay and when to get maximum exposure and profit and the bad side the bid sniper with very low content.
Thanks for replying! Reputation has a meaning for a newbie with 25 or 30 reputation. When he sees one with 60 or even 50. I won't even go at the above 70.
I honestly would want a reputation system, but an algorithm that can't so easily be used outside its original intention.
I get you about the trending category monopoly. That shouldn't happen either. But trends build hand in hand with influence, because it is based on the amount of rewards received on a short amount of time. And if whales upvote certain accounts by default (and not necessarily their content), or they upvote each other, it is difficult for others to have a trending post. This is where voting bots could be useful, as you mentioned in your post.
