Is this post worth 77$? is it worth 700$? It's hard for me to say but what IS fucked is that if ned upvoted [ which I frankly don't understand why comment and not upvote unless your comment is negative ] it would have been at 200$+.
THAT'S what mindfucks.
That being said, the idea of the council wouldn't be to give people more "money per upvote" but to give them a voice. A voice is more important in the long run.
"it's time to reduce the bots or have some kind of rules regarding the bots" <-- this is also difficult to do, because once you start with rules, you\re gonna have more rules and more bans, and etc. The bots don't belong to SteemitHQ, not can they ban them. We need solutions that take in account that bots WILL exist and upvote. But I must agree that the human curation is >>> autos.
And I also agree that bots are ruining big time for everybody, maybe not for the authors who get 1000$+ every time they say "hey".
I"'ve often heard that the reason minnows' vote weight is not more is because people would abuse the system by having their bots upvote their posts." -- I invite you to read this, that's the main reason why the votes have the power they have (+ Steemt marketcap )@stellabelle Thank you for taking the time to answer! I know this is one of your concerns but for me, there isn't primarily a MONEY concern. But it becomes one when I see the trending and what crazy amount other people do. that's what fucks us up!
