RE: Introducing STEEMLOOKUP Filtering Tool
Thank you for your comment.
Feature you are referring to is in our plans, and will be available soon. You will be able to exclude authors upvoted by specific users in certain time period.
For example: Exclude all authors upvoted by nonameslefttouse in last 12 days.
Fair enough.
which will of course allow you to specify the known vote sellers and exclude authors who have votes from them :) You can save search settings and I believe (but didn't go back to the channel to confirm this) that a feature in the works is ability to share saved searches or have some presets basically, one of which could be the current list of vote sellers loaded in to the exclude votes from filter once that is active.
Even adding an icon much like we'd see on Youtube, Google, Facebook, everywhere else that highlights the fact the content is an ad/promotion/paid programming after the use of bots is detected would be a good step. Content consumers like to be informed. Many feel mislead after signing up, viewing trending, selecting a post, thinking that post is there because it's popular; only to find out the content wasn't popular, it was just placed there by the author hoping to cash in on misdirection and the ignorance of the new member. People leave feeling like they were duped. That makes the rest of the honest content look shady as well, which is unfortunate.
Yeah I have been saying this exact same thing for a while now. Agree with you 100% on this point. @transparencybot is a good step in the right direction but you only even see that if you look in the comments.
