RE: Analysis of 11 factors in forming "reputation" in STEEM
However, due to the appearance of various types of bidbots, we can easily earn a reputation score
Yup, bidbots screwed up the whole system, look at me, never used a bidbot and have a really low reputation when compared to some of the other Steemians that started at the same time I did and used bidbots...
The whole byteballs airdrops was proof that the reputation system is broken and needs fixing... the worst part is that seeing my reputation so low actually makes me think if I shouldn't use bidbots once or twice to increase my reputation, even though I don't want to...
Its sad to say, but a high Reputation (even though it's totally artificial and can be bought) still holds some sort of 'oh, they must be a reasonable poster, have been here a while, and not a spammer'.
I wouldn't hold it against anyone writing reasonable stuff if they decided to go for the bot approach. It doesn't need to be excessive, but 5/10 STEEM a post will certianly help nudge this annoying number along.
Well done. I think you have a great mind for maintaining the STEEM ecosystem and improving the overall value.
When the price of STEEM was high, there was a lot of discussion about the bidbot issue, but since the STEEM price has plummeted, there has been no discussion, and the bidbot business is still growing. In fact, there are a wide variety of bidbots in various forms, as well as bidbots in the narrow sense.
Unlike some users, I think this is one of the causes of the STEEM depreciation. Personally, I sold all of STEEM for $ 3 to $ 5 with disappointment about bidbots, circles, and so on. I do not think it is still undervalued in terms of fundamentals.
As each person's thoughts and understandings about STEEM are different, this problem will eventually require systematic solutions rather than leaning on individual good will. It is very difficult.
I know that Byteball has differentiated the air drop size according to the STEEM reputation. But I did not know there were those who improved their reputation with bidbots for that reason. Looking at this point, it seems difficult to lean on good will.
If possible, let's keep our pride and values. Good luck!
