RE: Let's Explore (Stalk) the Steem Blockchain!
Bots should not be as powerful on the platform as they are. This has led to a lot of inorganic content being pushed around. If steemit wants to be a social media platform, better content has to be upvoted than what we are seeing now
Many bots help users get more attention and visibility such as @minnowbooster.
As for "inorganic", all of your posts are quoted word-for-word from CoinDesk.com; I appreciate that you put in the source link, but don't expect many votes when you simply copy paste an article from somewhere else.
See thats the problem, if you look at what I have posted there are two kinds of posts. One of them are word for word quotes from coindesk and the other are articles that I actually have taken the time to write. The ones that are direct quotes from coindesk have about 5 times as many upvotes as the ones that I have taken the time to write. This is bizarre why should copied content have more upvotes than something that I have actually taken the time to write. What happens is that it incentivizes people to post 'inorganic' content because that is simply what will get upvotes. It is definetly a problem that needs to be addressed
