At first I thought you are doing some great job here on Steemit but sadly it is not all white. As I know you have also upvote bot option. These bots are the cancer of Steemit, same way as some whales are. We still need some algorithm for exposing good original posts. I stopped checking trend list months ago. For someone like me it is frustrating to see all those high paid posts... I am sure some among them are great and deserves it... I am looking forward for your plan. See you tommorow

If voting bots are cancer, then the advertising industry and investment in general is also cancer.
Yes, when I see Coca Cola billboard I know it was paid and it is their to promote their product. Now is up to me if I will register it or not. Steemit principle is if post has higher upvote it os good and it is worth of reading. But high upvotes from bots or whales are doing opposite.
You can't get votes if noone can find you. Bid bots are just one of the solutions for this, though.
Yes. And here would some algorithm solve this problem. In Appics will be curators. So we will se how it will work
All that glitters is not gold.
A post could have a massive payout and still be trash. The same way a heavily prompted product could end up being a disappoinment.
Steemit works like the real world, there's no utopia over here.
Indeed. And here will someone offer "democracy". Sola tried something but not good enough. We will se Ono and Appics how it will work. Trending should be for good not by rich content
