I never had problem with him . I noticed his account a while ago but I did not like his content and did not follow him or anything . Couple of weeks ago his bot started posting messages on my posts and that is when we started having some conversation . I don't know his motives for such actions but I think its wrong
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
ok, so up until now you have no idea why you are being labeled as bad content, right? Because you are not being flagged (unless im wrong) you are just being labeled as an account producing bad content.
So here is the next question for you.
Do you write original material or make your own videos?
All the bot is trying to curve is you winning upvotes from people that mistakenly might think you are the author of the news or the video.
That would be ethically questionable. Imagine I spend hours working on a video, a lot of money on gear. And then, some account on STEEM copy pastes it onto his profile and makes money off my work.
Hardly seems ethical. - So, the bot is just letting people know.
Hey, don't vote for this, it's not its content, find the original author and reward that person.
Well, most people think that it's ok to embed a youtube video on here. Granted enough work has gone into the post to add enough value to warrant any compensation.
Let me put it this way, if the work took less than 2 minutes, then its worth less than two minutes money wise. too...
The research you speak of could be youtube's algorithm spitting out things that it knows you would like anyways. Who is doing the work? It's not like you walked into a library and spent hours sorting thru dusty tomes.
There is some work, that we can agree on, but how much is it worth? Not much if anything at all.
People go to youtube to find youtube videos. They don't go to steemit.
They might however enjoy a critique on a movie lets say, a well thought out critique with many compelling points against and for. Well researched background, etc etc...
That could be something valuable on steem.
Maybe...
I see your point, its quite valid. But, it fails to consider the fact that he pays thousands of dollars for hosting these bots (he owns multiple bots and script that do various things, many of them are used by other witnesses like the blacklist api)
So, this practice is a way for him to offset the cost of doing something that nobody pays him for.
So, grant you, you are right, on the surface its sketchy, but if you dig deeper, which i have, it makes sense.
