RE: New user here and I’m frustrated AF.

So they do design updates on occasion but rarely push new functionality updates? I’m really surprised to see there’s not much of a voting algorithm for content and comments. Id like to see the best content and comments rise to the top regardless of the users numerical (rank). I’d like to hear your thoughts as to why bots can’t ruin things? Not sure how long you have been here but I’d like to know how things were before the bots arrived. Thanks for the response.

Upvote bots don't upvote by themselves but only when people send money to them. That's why it's up to the people if bots will ruin this platform or not.

I understand but why are bots needed? They are juicing post that wouldn't be there otherwise. RIght? Can content not rise to the top without the bots? Does the platform need a downvote (not flag) to remove the subpar content that reaches the top only because their (rank) and followers count. See with reddit or hacker news (follower model) is not important in the grand scheme and this gives new users a chance to get organic upvotes without worrying about the rank to get their postings up while earning karma points. Something just seems off. Thanks for educated me.
