Pay the bots, we are not left with any other option anymore. This is good for people who are not into ass kissing of whales during meetups and fests. ;)
Bots are a blessing for rich, but a curse for the poor.
Iv made 100z of posts commenting on how can we change this issue and make steemit a better platform again, unfortunately, 98% of the whales are not bothered as long as they are making bucks. Currently steemit is just like the governments and central banks, just for the elites.
So either we live with this or leave steemit.
Many new comers are leaving steemit for this reason. Some of my friends are writers who write for news papers and mags, i showed them the trending page, and all they did was laughed, never joined. No wonder there are hardly any steemians from my city mumbai...lol.
Im here as iv been into financial markets ever since collage, now also into crypto trading since 2.5 years and interested in blockchain, conspircies and geopolitics.
Every time there is something new that revolutionizes the way people see the world, there is going to be some backlash. I don't remember what the name of the person was, but there's a story that the person who created the device that allows people to communicate over radio frequencies was told to go to a mental asylum by his friends because they didn't believe it was possible. There will alwyas be backlash until the revolution is seen as "normal" and accepted by others. Crypto won't really be accepted as "normal", in my opinion, until big corporations and companies accept it. But then again, crypto is disrupting their playing field. So it may be difficult for that to happen since they have so much power.
I would partly disagree. I dont think its only about a new technology being troubled either by its own design or by people who opose it. I think the facinating question is - as I understand: Is steemit realy a new social innovation, or is it a new technology reproducing the patterns and mechanisms of the conventional technologies? And this power relationship here on steemit seems to not be any different from other power relationships. At the very least there is established doubt, that this social platform at this moment is not so unique as I thought it is. The technology for sure, but the interaction modells of people here not so much.
Exactly, if you buy some fb, twitter or instagram accounts with high friends and followers count and just post on these accounts then you get high traffic and high votes. It is just an idea and there are a lot more.
Yes, You're doing the right thing!
Okay. But I still have to fight a lot for curation 🤨

Happy Steeming.
LOL, even this post. :(
Everyone but the big stakeholders has to fight for curation, unfortunately...
I don't even know what that means fight for curation?
curation most of the times stands for upvoting. In this case fight for curation means fight for getting upvotes :D
thank you!
my upvotes seem to not mean anything yet
lol
Welcome to steemit 2018
Indeed :))
what is it based off of 'steem power' ?

Nikola Tesla
80% of the technology we today use, were invented by him.. Unfortunately most of them dont know this.
I didn't know that to be honest :)
Coz history books and schools lie and hide things, especially in the west.
Yes @himshweta, curation is a obstacle for us
