RE: Revisiting BidBots : A Necessary Evil?

in #bidbot6 years ago

That all makes sense now. I've often joked that I want to give away so much SBI that it because economically stupid for me to not post more often. I had been looking at SBI more as a way of encouraging reciprocal given to cement communities and a way to encourage good content creators to stick around because they know they get some guaranteed value for posting. It does make sense for SBI to help deal with the supply side of bidbots. A difference with bidbots is I can finance those with stake and withdraw that stake. SBI, well, they're kinda locked in. I guess they can be cashed in but I the process isn't as seamless. Still, when the window is long-term, locking up stake or SBI doesn't make much difference.

Sort:  

Enrollments are locked in, but there are two different ways to delegate. With delegation, it's not locked in but can be withdrawn at any time.
Delegation does not directly benefit specific people the way an enrollment does, of course.

So when I talk about targeting supply, it's the delegation options- because you're right, normal enrollments and sponsoring (the way we market and the way most think of SBI) is never going to be perceived as a good alternative to delegating to a bid bot.
