It seems like views overall are down since the latest HF, but I don't have numbers to back it up!
I noticed this same thing this morning! Many of the authors who have hundreds of votes in the first 45 minutes had very few.
This is a little concerning that some people are just here for the autovote bots and collect their curation rewards.
Yes, it is concerning, I said disturbing but that probably wasn;t the right word lol.
What is the solution to this problem of lack of reading, curating, and just autovoting? Some of the bots are useful, but others not so much.
The solution is correcting individual behavior. Either educating them with knowledge to understand why its better to do things another way, Or with pressure to apply force and make them comply with what the community standards of behavior are. That requires a majority to adopt a behavioral model,apply it, and enforce it, as any society does.
