I see your point but this is much different than crack lol and I didn’t create the idea of voteselling. And the idea that voteselling has its goods and bads. Its your opinion voteselling is harming the economy
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
why do people here produce and post content.
that other PEOPLE read it. right?
so how does it make sense for this platform that you get rewarded by voting bots for exactly the opposite? People not reading your blog but giving their vote to a bot which you pay to vote for you? This only makes sense on steemit but nowhere else on this planet.
@solarwarrior
Yeah it's weird.
But if you write about relevant topics, that people will search for in the future. You know "magnetic headlines" etc like, "How to build a crackpipe from a beer can in 3 easy steps", these articles will potentially get millions of views from search engine traffic, and the fact that some dude used a few low ROI bid-bots on that article will be completely irrelevant...

true... but there is one big problem: people coming here from google will not pay you for your content as there are no adds utilized.. and as we do not have the vote counter any more nobody will know about this anyways...
Yeah, I was reasoning a little with @yallapapi suggesting some ideas on a system to address that issue, with a more or less passive search-engine revenue and I was thinking of what page statistics we could obtain etc, should not be impossible to install somekin of web beacon in a steemit post, I don't like that type of sneaky techy stuff so much, but it can come in handy...
But yeah maybe just normal traditional adds could be an idea for steemit....

That doesn't make any money though. Your casual google searcher who comes here and reads your article there's no ads so there's no revenue for ads and they aren't even a steemit user so they can't even upvote you. Trying to rank posts on google here on steemit benefits you not at all
@rulesforrebels
Check this, it's a way to vote forever on posts...

It just takes a bit of creativity+action to fix these things...

this platform is so fucked. this platform is setup as a blogging platform yet quality blogging isn't what earns you money and isn't rewarded.this is really more like an mlm program or networking site yet it isn't setup as that its setup as a blogging platform
If you incentivize looking away in an attention economy, that incentive will harm the economy. It's not really an opinion. Just basic business knowledge combined with common sense. 1+1=2. That's not an opinion.
And I know it's not crack. That was an analogy. The effect crack has on a neighborhood is similar to the effect bots have on this neighborhood. I did see you a few weeks ago defending the fact you could potentially be selling votes to plagiarists and it didn't seem like that bothered you much.
