RE: Steemit: A Social Platform Or A Bot Gaming System?

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

The problem is that I don't think we'll ever get rid of bots. I think it one of the few things that are driving the demand of sbd. Look i understand that steemit will get new users but if they don't buy any steem the price of steem won't increase. But bid bots do provide a type of advertisement that capitalizes on the exposure of new people. Right now 90% of all stemains are blogger themselves, we need a reader audience as well.
Second when we get a lot of humans in they'll need to have a steempower to be worth anything. How will they counter the bots will be interesting. In fact I think bots well thrive even more in the hivemind community feature in steemit. Now instead of using bots to fight to get on top of the hot and trending page, they just use the bots on the community hot and trading page. Make bots even more useful.
Just my food for thought, I could be wrong :)
