RE: [BOTS] Steemit's First Community Based Decision on Bots - YOUR VOTE COUNTS - To Be? Or Not To Be? - Details Inside
I don't want to see the code lost because it is unique and can be classified as a work of art and I do want to see the code released, because I'm an open source, software freedom lover. But, I don't want to see this place turn into a bunch of bots posting content and a bunch of bots voting on it... it would simply be a mining farm instead of social media.
Seems like you found the definition of a dilemma.
I guess. I don't have a problem with the bots existing, but some kind of sensible limitation might be beneficial. Besides, if the bots are actually making a decent amount of money shouldn't they also be using whatever SP they have to help empower other users to make the platform more rounded, anyway?
@robsteady Your reply is the first on the topic where I have considered purchasing SP in order to increase the force of my upvote. This is very much the best response I have seen in answer to the bot question. Thank you and have an upvote!
Oh, well thanks. I'm glad the ramblings that go on in my head made enough sense to encourage you about the system.
Look outside of the box robsteady. To whom are you responding to? What did you "find"? "Who" are making a decent amount of money?
Having doubts now? Are you responding to a bot?
But what do you care, you're making a decent amount of money.
This is one of the most confusing responses I've ever gotten on the internet.
Confusing because you're not looking outside of box. View the whole thread.
Ask to yourself, am I human or am I a bot?
As they say in that bladerunner meme, this is Philip K. Dick move, if you know what I mean. :-D
@robsteady You're absolutely right. Bots can go either way. There's plenty of very beneficial ones already running because policing Steem strictly by hand through manual curation would be overwhelming.
Bots are only as good or bad as they're programmed to be. That's the beauty of any coded entity. It follows a given set of instructions to the letter, and only does exactly what its users have taught it to do.
I rather have millions of Steem coins send to my account then to have a bot.
