RE: Deceptively Optimistic Self-Shilling Posts Hurt Steemit

At the end of the day though who will control the bots? The source code is pretty much open-sourced. Anyone can automate anything they want.

That is not a social media platform, it's an autonomous bot platform!

that is true to some extent. This is why is better to let the users decide what the platform is all about instead of saying that is an easy money maker.

Sort:  

I don't believe 'control' is in the cards here. I think 'socially acceptable' would be a better term. If people stopped using the bots then there wouldn't be any use in building them.

Saying that the platform is an easy money-maker is not entirely untrue. Those who have invested a lot of their own money or were early adopters and earned sufficient SP can make some easy coin. However, advertising the platform as an easy way to make money for someone new and without the resources to invest money into the platform would be untrue.

This is why I advertised this platform to my FB friends as How To Grow A Money Tree. It takes careful planning and a lot of nurturing to start a seedling that will take time to grow and bear fruit.
