RE: Two Ways to Earn With SmartSteem: Do the Smart Thing!

"abused these bots for their gain"

I still dont understand what people mean. What's the difference between using them and abusing them? It's blockchain, it's supposed to be built so that you dont need to get people to cooperate. If you're doing something that negatively effects the whole system it means the system allowed you to do it and so it only highlights a flaw within the development that needs to be changed. Theres no laws in blockchain because laws are there to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, with blockchan there's just programming either something is possible or isn't. Steemit is effectively one big smart contract and so obviously just like a bucket of water if there's a flaw then you'll see the leak, but you blame the bucket for the leak not the water because it's the bucket that needs fixing and no amount of complaining about the water is going to help.

Exactly. Vote-Buying and Selling is merely a symptom of how STEEM currently works. If people were able to reach the audience they need - without having to pay for visibility, then bought upvotes wouldn't be needed.

I need to vote buy in order to get my article trending because the other guy who bought his vote to get his article trending is knocking down all the other articles that were upvoted with the upvote bots that were used to increase views because of all of the bot articles created by the bots to create simple articles to be upvoted by the upvote bots in order to get rewards easily.

Yup...it's a wonderful system with a huge flaw.

And what about whales upvoting whales. Hm? Have you thought about that?
