RE: Steem Robot Manifesto: The Rules of Botting

in #bots8 years ago

I had thought @jeeves was a pretty decent robot. Sorry to hear was discontinued. Prehaps in a future version could assign a few random stories? May make it less desirable than just trending stories, trying to think how it might draw exposure to overlooked articles that are still quality pieces.

Sort:  

@clevecross thanks for thinking that way -- this is exactly we want to bring up an valuable conversation here with the community to discuss about this matter. Perhaps in the future we will continue it when bots like @jeeves are more acceptable to the community and not banned by other bots.

Absolutely. I love when comment sections turn into discussion panels. Random stories on rethought may not be great as would defeat the purpose I saw @jeeves trying to serve. But something that explored content without just top trending that share a tag.... Be a challenge for sure. Maybe a community supplied "pot" of posts that cycle out inside a week?

Yep that could be a possible idea. I've opened an issue on Git regarding the problem of non-discovered good contents by linking relevant posts at the end of each post, in which case, there a handful users are already doing that by manual.
