I think we've had this chat before on Discord. I like this post because you're not enforcing anything nor misleading minnows to give up bots in the hope that they can build an audience.

The fact is Steemit's Alex rank seems bogus mostly accounting for bot and sock accounts. It's not like the traffic is from a flux of real users, engaged like reddit or imgur.

Bots are needed and it's sad many witness and early adopters put that judgement on minnows. If the Alex rank was for genuine users then minnows would stand a chance to get noticed with more niche content and create genuine pocket communities of interest. Not dribs and drabs.
