RE: Will Steem succeed or commit suicide?
I would strongly support better filtering.
I'd also strongly support being able to filter out posts that have been upvoted by bots.
I would upvote none of them.
That's an interesting idea! I hadn't thought of the bots option.
The problem is you'd have to restrict it to users who used the bot themselves, because otherwise you could censor anyone by throwing them a randowhale vote. Then, you'd have problems regulating this, because people would just use another account to trigger the bot...you'd end up having to manually weed these out.
I think the technical limitations here might be a problem. Perhaps all bots need to be disabled unless whitelisted by community consensus (cheetah, steem cleaners).
I'd very strongly support disabling bots that curate. Unless folks consider AI to be equal to people in rights, then I don't want bots voting. If folks do consider AI to be equal to people, Imma quite voting altogether.
There are other bots that do good stuff, such as bots that ferret out good content and suggest it to people. While this treads close to the edge, I wouldn't mind a bot that provided a list of posts that contained no recipes for baked goods, make up tips, or pics of Kardashians.
The real issue for me is curation. I remain unaware of any bots writing posts, yet, so am not exercised about that.
