RE: [Vlog] Going against the grain... My take on Bot curation and voting scalability on Steemit

in #curation8 years ago

Although I do not like bot voting to much, I hear you wrt time to spend on Steemit to be able to find those posts that deserves a vote. Bots can help filtering for later manual voting, but the algorithms implemented are favouring post that get attention in the first 30-60 minutes. Maximum support is therefore given when casting the vote within the first hour of the post, maybe even within the first half hour of a post. That is not manageable without automation. However, when we take the time out of the equation and give support without looking at any other dynamic of the platform other than giving our vote value to the author of the post and comment, manual voting based on filtered posts lists is possible IMHO. The other side of the medal is, when we use more and more bots, Steemit will become a bot network; Bots voting; Bots Posting. Steemit becoming a Bot network is maybe unavoidable, but I like the think that we should not let that happen, we should try and find ways Steemit stays human dominated. Maybe we should create more curation teams such as Curie to whom we provide our vote power to. Indeed make those teams you talked about in your video. More of them, Many more of them.
