RE: Steem Experience Hangout: Let's Talk about Paid Voting Bots...
It gets worse: If Steemit gets big enough, during US presidential election campaigns it'll be filled with advertising from candidates and their associated super pacs. So yes, we do need to do something about this.
I will disagree with you on one point - if they play it smart, today's whales will probably still be tomorrow's whales - they will be the one's making a profit from the paid advertising after all.
we could create our own superpacs or maybe a SUper bot that downvotes those corporations to oblivion.
the thing is that i see one of those institutions taking the idea and building their own platform eventually. steemit is just a prototype and will likely go the way of myspace and blackplanet.
from my observation its not the first that survives but one of the startups that address the problms of the first platform.
google killed yahoo
facebook killed myspace
apple killed motorola/nokia
But people didn't have crypto locked into yahoo, myspace, and nokia either. That locked SP keeps a lot of people here.
^ i concur
i doubt, as it will only increase the price of steeem/sbd
