@swinn You are correct about steemit. we will see this year group of people building applications with specific focuses. One may be TA, another fine Art. From there, depending on what you are interested in, you will have the ability to use different apps for curated feeds. All that powered by Steem. It is hard to predict the impact of steemit bots as it pertains to other applications.
perhaps reach out to @andrarchy on this matter.
And... please do not leave, the community will be stronger as more people like you join!
I think it would help if we could elect witnesses that want to eliminate bots. I'm not sure who they are. Is @andrarchy one of them? Who else? Please inform. I've only voted for 2 witnesses so far and one only because I use his website all the time. The other is @aggroed.
