RE: Do You Feel Steemit Has Turned Into A Rigged System?? - Stop Complaning and Start Changing!!
This is something that really disgusts me. A post made recently that can be read here.
The author explains how he doesn't upvote good content simply because he makes more money selling his votes to bots. I think that is a disgusting practice that has a huge negative affect on the community and good content creators.
Why would these content creators want to continue if they know the whales won't vote because they'd rather make more money for themselves selling their upvotes to bots?
Very discouraging and terrible, imo.
Not just in your opinion, the community seems to think so...infact this may be that one point which may bring down steemit as a whole!!!
@voiceshares I agree. Also, as far as I know, according to the Steemit TOS/AUP bots aren't allowed. Which makes this issue even more confusing.
I don't agree with banning bots. But, the selling of votes to bots at the expense of the community and content creators is terrible.
So, basically anyone can throw money into Steem, and then with that money invest it into Steem Power to sell their votes to bots so their greedy asses can make more money at the detriment to the community and content creators.
This complaint seems to be appearing a lot lately. Something really needs to be done about this. Perhaps if we all start flagging these bots? I'm not sure what kind of effect that would have though?
I've posted some good content and gotten a lot of upvotes. But, it's like I'll make a post with 20-30+ upvotes and only make $0.08-$0.20. It's really discouraging.
I have begun flagging bots. Probably going to tank my rep or something, but I am sick of it. I have had posts get 50+ votes, I even get some damn bot telling me my post is undervalued... because that helps... not. Never made more than a buck or 2 on a post. It is NOT about how much I make or how much someone else makes to me, it is about actually trying to get GOOD CONTENT to be what pays, not just good bot strategy.
