RE: 3 Major Changes In The Steemit Ecosystem During Last Year

in #steemit7 years ago

I still wonder if item 1 the paid bots bring any good?

A. I think there are so many that you don't get a higher visibility. Cause on a daily basis hundreds or even thousands of people use them.
B. I think you can lose the possibility to get upvotes from curation trails. As they mostly upvote posts with barely any rewards.
C most of the reward ends up by the bot. Or the persons that delegate their SP to the bot. I estimate that 80% of the rewards goes to the bot and only 20% to the Steemonian paying the bot.
D bots scare away new users. As they either don't understand how they work. Or they end up losing money, because bots are over bid.
E some bots seem to care only for their own profit. As they don't give you a full vote when you're the only one paying. And they do give a negative return when the bid round is overpaid.
F the reason we don't get normal votes is that over 30% of the VP is sold to bots
G what do you think would happen if everyone delegates to the bots? So we can only buy upvotes.

Don't get me wrong, this is more or less my opinion. But you should also see my remarks as question. Cause not only you, but also some other people do see value in these paid bots. So I'm curious to see your reaction.
