I know how hard it is to put a bunch of effort into an article to only get a few votes worth next to nothing. The truth is that happens to everyone tho. Even the whales here now started off with the same problems. No one starts off at the top, this platform makes you work hard for you payouts, it is not a free payday by any means.
I agree, bots can help new users stay motivated but the problem is that they are now putting more time and money into the bots than they do into curating and upvoting other steemians, and that messes with the steemit ecosystem. If all the money people give to the bots went into Steem Power to give bigger upvotes to other steemians then there would be bigger upvotes going out by so many more people. Also, people like me would buy delegations and help out new users with decent content, but the bid bots buy up all the delegations and make that impossible.
I honestly don't know how to fix this problem, I am not that smart. I just like bringing up problems when I see them so it gets a conversation going.. Eventually that conversation will reach the right people and hopefully something will be done about it.
I have never used @steembasicincome so I don't know what that is about at all :/

I fully agree with all you say! The situation now is somewhat depressing when you think about how people exploit the system for fast rewards. However, thinking about the possible future situation where, as you say, SP ends up at the right place makes me really excited! Now, let's hope indeed that this discussion ends up at the right people! :)
