RE: OCDB Announcement - A Whitelisted Non-Profit Bid Bot
What about curation projects? Will they refuse to curate users that buy votes from you, or even reverse their votes? I think SteemSTEM does this with some bidbots.
I hope they will consider not doing so as we will keep an eye on the posts that get "boosted". We'll see if that causes any issues in the future.
I hope so too.
I think your project is a lot better than standard bid bots. For that reason, I hope it grows a lot bigger.
Just today I got really annoyed that a project that I actually liked used bid bots to upvote their announcement to trending.
While I am not necessarily opposed to using bidbots on a post that deserves a high payout, or should be in trending, the problem lies in the fact that they are supporting services that don't give a shit. They don't review the posts that will get upvotes, or even reverse upvotes on utter crap. I would much prefer paid curation.
Perhaps in the future we will look back on this as a step forward towards more moral bid bot services.
