RE: What is appropriate use of upvote bots? A survey.

in #steemit7 years ago

i've long been frustrated by the ability of spammers and shit posters to capitalize on posts at the expense of people who put in the work and wind of getting sheisted because of last minute jerks who put down $20sp and ruin the payout ratios. I know there are some ethical bot owners, but there are some that also manipulate the bots to their advantage (having witnessed a bot payout delayed 30 minutes until my 5sp bid earned $10 instead of $25). I'm all for owners proactively cleaning up the abusers, but i would like a step farther where owners who abuse are warned and booted. also i think that at a certain point, once optimal voting threshold has been reached, voting should be automatically turned off. No last minute 20sp votes that will put all bidder profits in the red. time to come clean.

Sort:  

exactly one bot claims to meet all your criteria - "honestbot" - so someone is trying to set that precedent by offering a better mousetrap - remains to be seen if others will follow suit.

Well i didn't know that! Do you know who the owner is? cheers!

just saw that one today on steembottracker... interested to know what it's about.

The only info I have, I too, read on bottracker, but I did peep the profile. Intentions seem legit-ish as much as they can be around here?
