RE: Am I stupid?

Hey @abh12345,

first of - I didn't upvote myself for the rewards but to make a statement since you mentioned smartsteem in your post and I believe that the response is important enough that it shouldn't be buried under all the other ones.

Now - I also don't take it as an attack, it's just that you made clear that you're not a fan of delegating for profit. Which I can understand - but I don't believe that his is any significant risk to STEEM as plattform for content.

The far bigger risk are big stackholders who are upvoting each other in circles.

Upvote-Services on the other hand, give everyone the chance to also get visibility.

Also - smartsteem.com is NOT just another bid-bot, but a whole plattform with the goal of empowering quality content.

I understand it was not for profit.

The far bigger risk are big stakeholders who are upvoting each other in circles.

Sadly this cannot be stopped, its 'proof of stake' here and we cannot help with this.

Upvote-Services on the other hand, give everyone the chance to also get visibility.

You need money for bid-bots, not everyone has this. And so it is the case that good posts (30-60$), are not as high up in the hot/trending as the ones voted by the creator, that do not not match this quality.

I would still like your views on what you think Steemit would look like if everyone chose to delegate to a bid-bot.

Personally, I think it would be a case of the richest person wins, and hope that's not what you wish for this platform.
