RE: What is appropriate use of upvote bots? A survey.
Yes, It shouldn't matter how they got those votes if the posts are actually interesting and valuable, but when all the shit posts are flying around, bot votes are only helping them to get onto the front page (trending/hot) leaving all the interesting posts never to be seen.
We need to see more great content getting better rewards, because remember, new users will always take the examples that they see when they join.
If they join and all they see is memes and two sentence posts earning hundreds of dollars, they will obviously attempt posting shit as well. Thus, the amount of interesting content will be decreasing with each day/week/month.
I understand the argument, it's been made for the whole year I've been here.
people will degrade to the garbage they see!
whales should be pushing better stuff to trending
its not fair!
people will leave!
and yet, they go to 7-11 instead of whole foods anyway.
Markets gonna market. Adapt, improvise and overcome, or don't play?
All the good content creators find each other.
This is planet earth. My television has 270 channels. I don't watch the shitty ones, just because they are more prevalent than the good ones.
And which ones are the good ones? Cartoon network? Or A&E? I find A&E boring.....
