Without bots, Steemit would lose active users even faster. It is already somewhere between 5-15K active users for 400K+ accounts. Retention is already a major issue here, something that bots help slow down.
Many minnows depend on bots to get anything more than the typical 1-2 cents.
We are going to be removing votes on comments, and we have a system in place to report plagiarism and stolen content. Bots are similar to paid advertising on Facebook and other platforms.
We are far more than a mindless bot. We are actively building resources for the community like our daily Curation Digest and Author of the Day
I understand not everyone likes bots, but we try to be something different, and more community focused.
But how long until its all bots?
Excluding anything new, the trend seems to be up to the right in general.
I'm not arguing whether your bot is good or not, just the Steemit-wide system is being saturated.
I don't think that will ever happen and there is a lot of human interaction here. The bots are promotional tools, and won't change that.
What will change that is steemit.com issues, on-boarding issues, and minnows getting $0.01 payouts while whales getting $100-$600 a post, and all the other issues that discourage people from posting daily.
