RE: Your post is worth how much?!? Not as much as you think, And that's the problem with steemit. What in the hell can we do?
The problem that I see with bots upvoting your content is that it doesn't help with building an audience.
Quite often I notice more votes than readers on a post.
Wouldn't it be a lot better if you followed writers that you enjoy, maybe bands or artists that you like and could upvote them or not as you see fit.
Followers should be like subscribers. As if you've signed up to readers digest os Nat Geo.
That kind of follower. The 1000 true fans type of follower.
I don't see that to be possible on Steemit in the present setting.
This a flaw in the system. it's the glitch in the Matrix and I'm not so sure that it can be fixed.
Can it be?
What I am sure of is that this is the thing that will stop Steemit from becoming huge.
It is definitely a problem, that we agree on. But as for the paid votes, it does help you get followers. If I were to post this very same article right now, on a different account or with the same account with with no vote bots, I wouldn't be talking to you right now, because you would have never seen it. Being able to see lower voted posts is the big issue they need to solve. Me personally scrolling to the bottom of a endless page that constantly reloads more paid content isn't a solution. But I do totally get what you are saying about paying for votes. If I didnt have to do it, I sure as hell wouldnt.
