how do you feel about the removal of the view counter yesterday so people cant continue pointing out how people are getting hundreds of upvotes from bots but single digit views on the posts?
wouldnt you like to know how many of the votes you got came from actual people and not all just from multi sock puppet accounts?
Took steemit 4 months of everyone yelling for a view counter in the early days of the platform to stop the alt account bot scam as it was the only way to prove people were self upvoting with bots and now all of a sudden they removed it without saying a word like no one noticed.
:/
idk, if you think bots are good then i guess we will just have to agree to disagree. i see it only as more consolidation of the power on the platform to the preminers that mined 98% of the platforms steempower before stopping all mining and it was opened up to the public.
Comments still provide a measure about if the content is being read and discussed or not.
I also noticed just now about the view counter and I am equally surprised. Hope they will restore it
Although I have a suggestion to make in this regard that there should be two type of trending
I think that would be awesome, maybe keep trending as most commented, viewed and stuff and then make a page thats all the top paying stuff.
I also hope they bring back the view counter, it supplied alot of information even if not 100% accurate.
