"people that trying to play a "police" role with hunt average steem users
that spending their last money to promote their good content since there is no other way and unfortunately upvote bots are part of the game that we must play in order to succeed on steemit"
This isn't true. The actual problem is that you are convinced that buying votes solves the problem, when it only makes the problem worse.
Stake-weighting, substituting financial holdings for societal virtue, is the underlying mechanism that degrades Steemit such that people turn to votebots to gain attention to their ideas. By doing so they're surrendering to the power of money to command influence, and this makes the problem worse.
Targeting posts that gain most of their rewards from botvotes directly attacks this exacerbation of the underlying problem, so it's good. It just doesn't go far enough in directing it's impact to the substitution of money for virtue.
Some people will whore out their mothers for money. Attacking the financial rewards they get when they do that may discourage them from whoring out their mothers, but it won't teach them to value their mothers for more than the money they can get for popping their pussies.
This is exactly the degradation that results from substituting money for virtue, if the extreme end of the scale.
The substitution of money for virtue is what hurts the average Steemian, not @heimindanger's flags. @heimindanger is just swatting their hands away from the far more harmful hot stove they are trying to stick their hands into.
Substituting botvotes for actual curation is like offering people who need gloves hot stoves instead. If you don't want to get harmed, don't stick your hand in there. Find actual gloves to use. Seek actual societal virtues as the rewards you care about, rather than being fooled by greedy profiteers that financial rewards are the point of society.
@valued-customer I hate the idea that you need to pay for your own content in a place where you need to be paid for that, that is stupid its a Ponzi scheme
but I understand that this how the system work and I just play along
and that's not good I admit so what do you suggest and I absolutely serious
you think I should never use bots in any of my future posts?
but now I understand the other side as well and why they don't read posts before downvoting and that because:
steemit community need to be educated not to use bots
and it doesn't matter what good content you have,
if people not educated it will never be stoped and all the steemanians will be used to fact that the trending page is only for money
I now understand that
It is good to gain understanding.
I have never once bought a vote.
I have done my best to explain why they're bad, and walk my talk. You do you. But don't complain to me if you get burned by buying botvotes.
@valued-customer I was emotional since I worked hard on that project and maybe I was complaining at first but thru reading the comments I now more educated
if I wasn't complaining I never learned that, so in my opinion, this is a good progress
and I think more people that got burned using bot votes need to put their emotions to the side and opened up to another side instead of looking at each other as a bully.
and I don't know if people that downvoted understand that but when just downvoting without a person understanding why it's just using force, the true power is when you educate that person and next time he will not use bots, not because of he afraid to get downvotes, but because now he understands why it's a bad thing for a community.
and I think it's a win/win situation and most importantly now that I more educated about that I will continue the footsteps and tried to educate other, don't you agree it's a good thing that came out of all these comments?
