RE: What is appropriate use of upvote bots? A survey. - My response

in #community7 years ago

I try to break it down to simplicity, the buying of votes.
This is something you do not want your politicians to do, use the voting power you give them to who will pay them the most. You wish they would use that vote for the greater good and security of a preferred way of living.
Buying a vote is buying a vote, at what point do things change?

Sort:  

When whatever happens around the world in politics we call it corruption, but in US we call it lobbing.. When u understand ...then you get the answer...

to call a bribe by any other name is still a bribe. And we are not only talking about the US, There is more to the world then the US.

What does this have to do with politicians?

Steemit probably has nothing to do with politicians, However the buying of votes does need a reference.

It's more about advertising than politicians. I mean I like eggs but I wouldn't blurt it out.

I am not against you, I follow you as a personal choice. My opinions can be controversial and outspoken. This does not mean the things I write are for or against a position, merely an opinion.
If everyone used the same bots all of equal amount, everyone would get the same advertisement for their post. This would leave everyone with the same level of exposure for their post. However, the use of a bot does not reflect the quality of a post. Been automated it will vote on anything. Something typing good morning in the AM , Afternoon at midday, evening and later goodnight while using bots can generate as much as another who spends time writing the content sourcing images and compiling those things to fit together. will get the same. Bot's offer the chance for easy money, expecting this system not to be abused is blinded vision?

I have no problems with not liking bots, but I just didn't think it had any comparison to politicians (assume there was some reference to witnesses here) as it isn't quite related is my point.

As for bot and easy money, right now they are not profitable. So using them is best for content you believe is quality and will gain organic upvotes (which is how it should be).
