RE: Of my 269 followers, 200+ are bots. Steemit? More like Steemingpileofshit
I've been following discussions about how to eliminate voting-bots. There are quite few ideas floating around. The one I liked most is about adding a captcha, that has to be embedded in the blockchain, so that it can accept a vote (or even a post).
This can't be implemented only in the web interface. It has to be embedded in the blockchain (somehow) and I think that is why it has not been done yet. This is something that needs to be developed. There is no current solution to implement.
But, think about that.
If possible, and implemented, this would bring value back to both Human-Curation, and Human-Interaction in the platform.
I really believe this can be done, and would benefit the entire community.
It is only a matter of organizing around the idea, and pushing it forward.
About the follow up "reality" in the sense that it is close to impossible to read all posts from people you follow I agree with you. But I just see the follow as "well, lets see what comes next from those writers" and if some title catches you. You ready and Curate.
