With HF21 coming up and likely making the bidbot problem on STEEM even bigger than it is today, I think we have a golden opportunity for Scot tribes to make bid bot users as invisible on their sites as they do non-tribe posts. As such I feel Scot tribes may end up saving STEEM from going under in a spiral of bid bot use increase.
At this moment I'm a bit torn as there is no fiction tribe yet, and palnet is nice as a demonstrator, but to general to gain solid adoption by those I follow. I really hope @blocktrades will find it to do what is needed to create a more solid foundation for content oriented Scot Tribes. If something like that happens, I'll be powering down STEEM and powering up whatever fiction tribe token will be there to move towards.
One of the big mistakes that the STEEM people keep making is putting investors first and forgetting the platform is useless and ultimately valueless without users. I think the comunication surrouding HF21 has shown us just how narrow the scope is with those concerned with the main STEEM currency. I feel that if DTEEM is to survive it will be because Scot Tribes (SMT are simply too litle too late right now if you ask me) help create a fibrant collection of user communities that can exist without a spoiled experience because of bid bots. But then, that does imply we all agree that bidbot usage on scot tribe tags is socially unacceptable.
I think that when HF21 hits I'll try to use my free downvotes for bid bot use on Scot tribe tagged posts.
Creatives tribe works or it's too general?
