Ya, I know I am a little bit guilt of this. One article earned me a dollar. I worked a whole week on it.
Then I found share2steem and actifit. I can get a buck out of a couple of nonsense posts.
I got over 200 upvotes from a tweet about nothing... how many people actually read what they upvote?
Yes, you see? Currently, this is a huge problem to the Steemit platform, because the fundamental way to distribute pool rewards is called "Proof of Brain" . If you read the White and Blue paper, they actually talk about that. Steem is the ONLY "Proof of Brain" platform. Think about that. There is no way to "Mine" Steem. To mine SPs, you have to write and post. Apart from Witnesses (that earn part of the pool rewards - sice they keep the platform up and running 24/7) this is the only way to "Mine Steem".
So, to conclude. BidBots a corrupting the "mining" system in here. How can the platform survive like this?
