Personally, I don't think the voting bots are the problem, just as big stake holders can use their stake how they want, they have chosen to sell some votes. In my opinion it can happen transparently on the blockchain as it is now. Or it can go back to being done the way sweetsssj and others are going it in "Off Chain" deals and via wallet transactions. I would rather give them a legitimate way to do what has been being done anyway.
We all know bullshit posts when we see them. I saw one with with a dirty snapshot getting $40.
I thought about this last night, and I think it will be a self correcting problem as the voting bots are getting busier and busier and many are sending large bids. Wait until they are so busy that people start loosing and it will sort itself out. (maybe)
