RE: Boost Posts on Steem with Upvote Bots!

in #steem7 years ago

This seems totally counter productive to me. Steemit should be about content, not employing the best bot to promote your content. I apologise if I've missed the point but I will never up vote a substitute for effort

Sort:  

I second this, you mean to tell me people can just create bots to auto boost their posts? It seems to completely go against what Steemit is all about or maybe I just don't understand. I mean this was a lot of information to absorb and I'll admit I skimmed it but the just of it say something is going to automate the upvote for a post so that its visible to the mass. Then in order to compete or have your stuff seen you'll almost have to have bots help you out or it will never been seen. This sounds like it shouldn't be allowed.

I totally see your point. It would definitely be bad and counter productive if the reach of your content would only be dependent on how much you are willing to invest. But it is a boost for new players whose content would be overheard otherwise.

I agree and my status definitely falls under the remit of a "new player", I just want people to appreciate my content as it is (if it's worthy) rather than play any system related to my content. Otherwise the platform will turn into the best performing players of the system rather than appreciation of the best creators.

if I've missed the point

You did. The point here is maximising profit.
