I have a suggestion: use a more complex voting bot that doesn't vote for all posts of a list of users.
Where could you get something amazing like this I hear you say? Well, you're in luck! I just happen to have made one 😜
The Steem FOSSbot Voter bot has a score based system, so you can still favor certain posters, but you won't just blindly upvote them (if you set it up that way). The bot is still in active production, though I took a break for a while recently.
Hit me up on steemit.chat #bots if you have questions. It'd be pretty cool to see what you could do with it considering your stake.
Hmm, I will definitely join that room and chat with you about some stuff! Do you employ machine learning at all?
No machine learning currently, it's just a scoring system which is used for voting (but I intend to break it out to other applications ... eventually).
However because it's a parametric algorithm, it is perfect for optimization using various methods. Machine learning could be one (there's an idea to try out TensorFlow here) or perhaps a genetic algorithm. I'd love to do this but I've at least another two rounds of development to get through first.
That wouldn't stop an interested other developer from giving it a go now, always looking for contributors to the Steem FOSSbot project 😜
Sounds super interesting. @robrigo have you heard of this one?
