Why do you sound as if the bot business is a personal threat to you? Because it is? Then, why is it?
There are as many opinions as there are forms of expression. Also here on Steemit. The diversity of the comments shows that very nicely. Why shouldn't the community decide how it wants to deal with content and bidbots on the basis of a democratic consensus election, based on a simple procedure that could be set up at any time? Which I describe here.
My own behaviour may serve as a yardstick, and I assume that most people are like that. One day I am completely unimpressed by whether someone is stuffing their pockets, another day or at another hour I am not. I have mood swings and I have different reactions. My lifestyle may change, so may my circumstances, and on the basis of these events I decide sometimes so and sometimes differently. I call it the reality of life.
There should be an opportunity to incorporate this into decisions: On the one hand about the amount/ratio of the distribution of my payouts as well as about my intentions to vote someone down.
Why not support the moment of decision by incorporating a "rethink" option?
In this way, I am urged to check every single post, every single comment and every single reaction, positive or negative. This could be solved technically quite easily. It would probably have a greater diversity in the whole system if I didn't always have to choose between two or not enough options. A technically built-in time delay between impulse and execution. That doesn't exist here at all yet.
