Bots on steemit, should be baned or not?

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)


Hi, nowadays on steemit we got more and more commenting bots, what do you guys think about it, should they be banned or not? I think, It`s not good when the machine is generating content just to get upvotes.

Tell me what you think, but no bot comments ;p

Bots should definitely be banned. They do not add any substance to discussion, nor do they serve any purpose other than trying to make a little profit for their master.
Unfortunately the Steem ecosystem lends its self to the shitposting and bots of people trying to make a quick buck. I guess it is up to the community to monitor.

Since it`s beta I think this will be regulated somehow in the future.

It depends, I use a curation bot to ensure my vote for a few authors I follow such that I don't miss one of their posts ( I think my list is about 20 authors long ). I don't see how this is an issue.

How about tag spammers, is that an issue you care about? People abusing tags to make a quick buck.

I new to steemit I and didnt even know that such thing like tag abuse. Hey any details about that curration bot, because it seems harmless to couminty, and i want to explore steemit possibilities as well ;)

I've never thought much about whether it was good or bad, just that what I was using it for felt okay to me.

I don't like it, the bots should get banned
people are cheating the system for making money and its pretty sucks

Great post buddy
