I disagree. It's a short term solution. Education and collective agreement is the only way. That must involve the ones who control the system though. So not going to happen.

They have no intention to do such a thing. As it's a fundamental to their profits model. You're pushing shit up hill as a user if you don't agree with it. You can only try to exist along side those that utilize the system correctly (voting bots IS the system).

I honestly don't think Steemit Inc have a long term plan for steemit. Proof is in the detachment which occurred last year. Succeed or fail, they go on with other projects such as SMTs.

The only solution from a community perspective is a hard fork which will give rise to a new steemit where bots are no more. Human voting is paramount and organic growth and sustainability is once again probable.

If you disagree with this, then you don't want to accept truth.
