RE: Alternate voting system and Steemit Posts with more votes than views
This would definitely be an interesting system to see implemented. However, with a large enough number of bots(so the majority of the up votes) up voting, in comparison to regular voters it would still cause the bots to win. Does this just make the system more complicated, and will it in the long run just cause an influx of bots in the system.
I think the point I am trying to make is a bot will not know what to vote and their vote will risk getting less i.e. wasted voting power is they are wrong so it would be better to read a post and vote correctly than just guessing.
but would it not be beneficial to just set the bots to automatically give it a 4 star rating. This would cause the majority of the count to be in the 4 star area unless it is really bad. Then it is just dialing in the algorithm as to which posts to automatically upvote. I see how this could potentially deter bots, but It really just makes the bot creators become smarter. Realistically there is no easy way to fully deter bots. My question would it really be worth it to go to such lengths to really try and stop botting
