Greetings! There will always be those who seek to exploit, yes. The Steemit terms and conditions specifically forbid the use of bots, but the terms are not enforced.
I am not really suggesting any top-down control, but instead just wanting to at least plant seeds regarding what could be possible vs what we have currently. What people individually do with the thoughts is up to them!
@ura-soul I can certainly understand and totally agree with your post in both intent and theory. As I understand it you wanted to point out the clear philosphic demarkation between the two strategies. It was concise and obivously proof of brain was the strategy for this particular post at least. If we could all look at this issue as you have, a couple thousand steemers brainstorming could come up with unique and effective actions that could be taken should we see some consensus on what would be best for steemit and its human constituents.
Thank you ura-soul
