RE: Vlog 312: Steemhunt, vote bots, incentives and why they need SMT's.

in #life7 years ago

The flaw is clear though, it's most likely that not the bests hunts are in top 10.

Nothing new there then @exyle.

I like @abh12345's suggestion that he referred to in his article yesterday about how @steemstem is trying to tackle this. Pretty clever I thought! 😊

Sort:  

Thanks Gillian

As steemstem team are manually curating, they will be able to check for bot use and plan accordingly. I think they allow some bots, but the size of the bid is a factor.

It's not ideal here though with a bot voting the Hunts based on number of up-votes, and I think they need to look at this one sharpish!

I agree @abh12345. It's even more critical with a review site.

Reminds me a bit of Amazon. The reviews there are totally meaningless now due to manipulation by sellers.

If they don't sort it then someone else will just build a better version when SMTs are available, I would think.

oops, wrong account :)

I think steemhunt has affiliate links out to amazon for the produces Hunted that are sold on the site.

So with a bunch of bought votes promoting the 'best' Hunts and products...… I'm going to say no more :)

Blimey. That didn't take long did it? 😱 😁

What do you mean? 🤣

@zapncrap is my play account, he's friendly though - votes for lots of people!
