Steemit Voting Bots Are Down! What will change?
Psssst. It might not be a secret now but did you know that Steemit voting bots are currently not active? and all the voting is currently manual, the reason is that API is down , for non-technical folks. Bots are sick right now :)
Bots will be up and running soon again but this gave me a thought what would happen if we will have a bot less Steemit , what could or would change ? will it be good or bad ? Let us see what changes it might bring:
1- It will change the face of the trending page
Have you ever noticed how monotonous Steemits trending page looks like? Same old same old few Steemian can always be seen over there, leaving hardly any space for a minnow with even greater content then them.
No bot upvoting means those who used to be on the top will only stay there if they have created an awesome content or have so much social influence that people will vote for them even if they have to do that manually.
2- It will promote more socializing of Steemians
In a world filled with bots people forget or are too lazy to socialize but without bot upvoting people will really read the contents of each other, they might comment or just drop in to say hello too. Being bot free will makes Steemit more human and by being more human it will have more love to share.
3- Steemians will learn the right meaning of curation
Curation is not upvoting anything you see or blindly upvoting a author thinking her or his content has to be good, sometime even the best authors write low quality content, people will read the content and will upvote and curate it only if they really like it.
This no-bot situation of Steemit is not going to last forever and they will be up and running soon, But I myself is not able to think even a single downfall if this situation goes permanent. What do you think? Would you love a bot free Steemit ? Do you want Steemit to be more human? Comment below!!

lol...how did randy fare?...Did he survive the killer viral outbreak?
randy ?? Rando ?? ......
You are right but i tried lots of thing to get a chance... no body looks one of my post... every big whales upvote or resteem similar accounts only. so we have no chance other than voting bots. because we lost already since we don't enough power.. all the tags redirected to trending as default. to being in trending section we need bots and some prays:)
@serhanni ... Dear ... Ask and you shall recieve ... ping me your best content
:)
I am voting manually for everything but I haven't been around that long so I am still trying to spend as much time as I can around and find other people like me. It is very easy to miss an article for someone you follow though, and if you believe in their capability to write good posts I find it quite alright to set an outoupvote bot for them. There are people from all over the world and timezones very easily mess this up. I follow people from everywhere and miss quite a bit and go to their walls to check. But still bots aren't all bad.
yeah dear ... you have a gud poit with that flow of post on the new tab ... it really messes this up
by the way do you think time to post matters ?
I still do all my voting manually. I wasn't expecting the character of Steemit to change quite so much from having the API down, though. It's been an interesting thing to watch.
Thanks for your post and explanation.
@lexiconical .... you know it surely doesn't change ..bots ill get up ....
your are the best person if you do that manually ...
Being manual to your votes or content surely help the community a lot
Thank you for the intellectual conversation
Let's upvote this post, see if we can get it to rise to the trending page ;-)
whats up dear ?
What kind of bots? Sorry for asking stupid questions. J
No questions are stupid .... Those who wont answer them are stupid :)
Steemit has a voting bot system ... they try to automate a thing or too
Not smartly alaways ... bots to upvote .. like rando or booster :)
Ah I see. Thanks for answering.
Yes, its probabaly a good thing to automate things a bit on a such a system.
Remove claim button?
I didn't understand remove claim button ..why ?
That has 0 effect on me...
:) ha ha ;) how bout i upvote you and ping you up on the rep ??
That's good for me... I'm not a bot, just a mannequin :-)
Big hug
