RE: Bid-Bots - Should you be Buying your Upvotes?
There are no "good bots".
Automated upvoting should be removed from the API so that only validated humans can vote on Steemit. By continuing to support upvoting bots of any stripe, it is continuation of supporting crap posting, reward pool rape and flag wars.
I beg to differ. Please, do not destroy all bots. The one I develop has the best intentions^^. It searches for quality contributions that deserve more reward and upvotes them WITHOUT the author having to pay for the vote.
In fact, the little fella, @trufflepig, did pick this post to upvote :-).
Doesn't matter. Upvote bot is upvote bot. Allowing it to happen allows for the bad actors destroying the system.
I think this would be great. However, there is something about a decentralised platform that makes me enjoy watching the innovation in the various forms of bots and ways to ultimately reap more SBD.
Steem will just end up to be bots upvoting posts made by other bots and then flagged by other bots.
