Right there with surfermarly on this one, you made a massive post about bad upvoting bots and then used them yourself to bring attention to your post.
This is why myself and others use these services right now because the system internal here on steemit called promotions is utter garbage in terms of getting you viewership and any type of return value on your investment. And yes paying to promote your post is an investment.
I see no issues with it at all and in many cases the bots operate at a lose for voters. The ROI is always always in the negative. Good for the bot owner but then again they are providing a service. Its all fair game I say.
From my personal point of view the fact that they offer the service doesn't legitimize the service itself. It's all just for their own benefit and the gap between rich and poor will be growing and growing. This platform pretends to be the alternative to governmental structures, but in fact it's just a copy of that. The power is in hands of very few, and so the money is.
We can sit and watch... or stand up and opt for a different world. It's our choice.
I love you! :-) Nobody ever realized that money is power? And we don't have issues with that in the "real world" yet? Can Anarcho-Capitalism ever be Anarchy? The operative term here is Capitalism! And in Capitalism there are few people very powerful. That's what we already have in our western society. And those who are powerful are the rulers. But in Anarchy there shouldn't be rulers?
Anarcho-crapitalism is a thing, and that thing is an oxymoron.

Haha, sweet :-)
This is the real world. There is no new world as long as we copy the old one...
You are more anarchistic than you think!
Haha, maybe :-))
How would you change it though you would have to flip everything making minnow votes count more then whale votes. I just don't see a way of correcting it honestly unless every single person had the same vote weight. But then what would be the power of holding more steem power etc.
I'd invest the money in curation projects like @communitycoin.
What we need is a better user experience in order to improve the user retention.
Do you see these curves drifting apart?
