The time has come to remove the bot and place humans behind the votes again. Humans who may be judgemental, biased but in the end will be healthier for the platform than automated bots that may have pressured authors to post more often and degrading their content.
100% this! The pressure to try and post daily when hardly any stake was curating forced people who hadn't attracted a certain 'high stake' following to either burn out, or lower time spent. Some people had the energy, or mental fortitude, to write/create elaborate posts with the uncertainty of any type of reasonable attention for their time and effort, but the majority didn't.
Any increase in manual activity from the curation guilds is massive positive news for steem. Gr8 news 👍🙂
