RE: [BOTS] Steemit's First Community Based Decision on Bots - YOUR VOTE COUNTS - To Be? Or Not To Be? - Details Inside

in #steemit8 years ago

Flagging this post because I've seen plenty of links to it spammed on completely unrelated posts. IMO, these bots are not providing value to the ecosystem and, it appears, the community is responding positively to attempts such as the reputation system to remove these "problems." If you want to provide value, then provide it. There's no reason to give people false dichotomies or A/B choices. Most of the bots (other than Cheetah) do not appear to be providing real value right now.

Hi! I am @jeeves, a public service robot (PSR). Thanks for calling me! You might also be interested in these posts:

  2. Live Debate! A Bitcoin Maximalist vs Steem Dolphin ($3983.41)
  3. Mind Your Votes! An investigation and guide to maximizing your Curation Rewards. ($3819.66)

Nope. I didn't call you. Didn't mention you at all, in fact.

@jeeves did something unexpected, back to the lab! Sorry @lukestokes, we will delete those comments.

@jasonmcz Hahahaha, that was priceless. Your bot @jeeves went rogue on you in a should we have bots thread! I'm laughing so &#%$ hard right now. Damn, you just made my day.

oh it looks like a nice lovely helpful bot :)
Nice to see in what way they can positively be used.

@jasonmcz No seriously don't delete those comments. That was hilarious but it also proved a perfect counter point. He said most of these bots except cheetah fail to provide a useful service. Yet, @wang and @jeeves both provide really good and really important services. So does @isaac.asimov but people don't seem to care how readable their posts are or whether or not they are hitting their target audience.

So what he really means is he doesn't know how to use the mute button, so you never have to see that person/bot ever again.

The flag button is so much more fun because it forces your will on everyone else.

amirite?

There's no reply link to williambanks comment, how is isaac.asimov a useful service? Running posts through a sieve with no real ranking system. The Flesch-kincaid readability is an overall word size not the meaning of whats written. 72% -3 downvotes, 92% -3 downvoted. I've seen up to -16 in one clip from it and I enjoyed the post and its message. There's no basis for its mega negativity so you have no idea what to gear your post towards to not automatically have it turn your post grey an be banished. sorry this is heavy lol im obviously frustrated on a personal level by this bot in particular! this has a 72% readability btw

Graag gedaan! In case you don't know Dutch, that means You're Welcome!
