Steemit is overrun by bots, auto-voting bots, AI and scammers. Linking your real other account or doing as others have been asked to do would immediately clear up the possibility of deception.

Wouldn't even slow the bots down. What it would mean is that people who do not have other social media accounts and have no desire to dox ourselves or be doxxed would just go somewhere else.

Problem ain't bots. Bots are owned by people, they don't just "exist". They have a cost to acquire and a cost to maintain. This cost has to be less than the bot will earn for it's owner.

People will use bots because they are a force multiplier. To stop the bots you need to change the incentives so low value tasks aren't rewarded enough to cover the cost. But neither msgivings nor mibenkito are bots.

Not sure I would even put these two in the same category and I have more reason than most to hate msgivings.
