Surely the war on bots can be easily overcome in forums like steemit, if there was 'the will' to do so.
Making a 'capthca' type thing necessary to post, or upvote?
While cumbersome, it would virtually eliminate the problem.
I would prefer a cumbersome, human platform, rather than a 'bot' one for sure ( as would all the real content writers, I am pretty sure)
Typing in a few letters manually is a price well worth paying..
We cant compete with automation and computing algorithms, on 'their' terms.
And why try, more to the point? It's a game you cant win.
We have to think 'non efficient'.
We can by making it human.
'They' cant compete with that...it just takes a little 'human effort', and the strengths of speed/efficiency, are nullified..
It's good to be back on steemit! Missed chatting to you.
