Why cant steemit become a true democracy? One man, one vote and no bots! The whales in steemit and the politically connected oligarchs in the real world look the same to me.
Reesteem and upvote bots are the influence peddlers that hang around politicians in the real world.
Ordinary steemians are the prey. It is hard to make it on steemit. Isn't it?
Not if you have the backing of a whale or if you are collaborating with a bot. Just like in the real world, the right connections matter in steemit.
We can do better on steemit by only upvoting quality content. Isn't that what we were told steemit was designed to do?
