Please Do Not Upvote This Post If You Are Human!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

... but I will upvote all comments! I am currently teaching Steemit here in my village on Bali. I am fascinated to test how prevalent Bot voting is now on Steemit...

During my recent Steemit training sessions I've been asked about the process of Bot voting. I have not been able to answer these questions and I hope this Test will improve my knowledge!

Please do leave comments and I will upvote every one of them!

Interesting research. Looking forward to you posting the results.

Thank you for your comment... I ran my first informal Steemit survey recently which I documented here in my post:

https://steemit.com/health/@jockey/vaccination-and-corruption-a-steemit-survey

I hadn't thought of posting about results but perhaps I will! =)

Thanks!

please keep us updated with the results!

Okay I won't upvote lol

What is the test? To see how many bots there are on steemit? :o

Good job!! Iwill not upvote.

How does it work? Which language are you using to develop this bot? Thanks

Write a post to report your findings on bot voting habits, or what specifically you have learned doing this test, I'm sure it would be a boon to the community.

"Boon" is an excellent word! =)

What an interesting question. Strangely I ran my first informal Steemit survey recently which I documented here in my post:

I hadn't thought of posting about results but perhaps I will! =)

Cheers!

An upvote for every reply? That sounds very curious. Please do tell what you find.

But you (jockey) voted for this post and you didn't use a bot, did you?
... lol...

Whoops... that was the default setting... Unvoted! Thanks! =)

I have not tried a bot yet... I feel very unadventurous! Until now I have just been posting and responding... everything from the heart! =)

We should all be out and about promoting Steemit, nice work. So is bot voting like mining a crypto currency?

Interesting way to collect bot data - I love it!

good keep it up !

@jockey You upvoted this post, are you bot? :)

lol.... thank you ... I have unvoted! =)

I saved you from transhumanism lol

Hahaha Jockey bot =)

hey Jockey bro :) Nice testing the core =)
Just back from a warp time party @ electrik... Was madness...
Will come see you later on today...
Big luv my bro :*

No way Vagas you here, nice one. Steemit is strong with the Bali Forza

Most online platforms will indure an increasing amount of traffic from bots as they grow. Great thinking creating this test, will keep an eye out for the results

I am new here but this is the first I am hearing of bot voting. I will have to do more research.

interesting, but I wonder how many of the votes are still human. I almost upvoted it just because I thought the idea was good, lol

Interesting idea, should you be asking people who control bots to have them upvote this, like randowhale, and minnowsupport and idk who else.

Good Start...
