RE: Is Bot Activity Harmful To An Economy Such As Steemit?

in #steemit7 years ago

I think the more dangerous aspect of the bots is there slowly increasing learning curve for new Steemians.

  1. First, learn the vocabulary, wallet system, voting, etc.
  2. Learn how to post quality content.
  3. Learn that posting quality content doesn't matter without a healthy amount of followers and interaction with the community.
  4. Learn how to use the bots to get noticed more and increased payouts - randowhale, minnowbooster, etc.
  5. Learn how to use one of the Discord minnow communities like Whaleshares, MSP, etc.

Are all those steps fair asks of new users? Or, would are they a system of weak discovery tools and poor new-user support within the product?
