RE: Growing Unhappiness with Upvote Bots on Steemit
A formidable force is working on injustice here at steemit regardinnng raping thee rewad pool and berniesnaders is doing something about it by flagging accounts that sucks the reward pool dry without bringing much content, abuse, etc. yougotflagged account is doing some work with it along with its army of flag bots.
Indeed, I have been following the whole @berniesanders saga since the very beginning when he waed war with @minnowbooster. It was in part of that whole situation which spurred me to create the proposal as I learned more about the situation.
As much as I agree with what he is doing, he is but 1 account, it will never be able to solve this huge problem.
Thank you for your comment and reading the long article! What do you think of the proposal? :)
He's actually is tons of accounts and ran randowhale. He also randomly destroys accounts and is an extremely negative and an unstable person.
I find him to be a extremely interesting character to say the least. Though his actions seem dubious at times, it does seem like his intentions is for the best of the platform no?
Maybe you should research him more and his multitude of monikers. I wish he'd be a bit more stable and less trigger happy with the flagging. I've seen him relentlessly flag people for a simple disagreemeby claiming "you will never make another penny on this platform again." He has quite a few unhealthy behaviors.
Indeed I will. Also to see how this whole thing transpires. @yougotflagged also gives some insight into what he deems to be abuse, though I think, for an individual who has that much SP there can be a lot more achieved with it than flagging people, but it is his perogative how he'd like to spend both his time and SP.
Nonetheless, thank you for the generous upvote!
I was just wondering how to have the amount of an upvote displayed alongside the name of the upvoter I have seen in screenshots of others, I have a feeling you might have an idea. xD
I really have no idea what to say since people just circumvent the system here at steemit. I am just wishing that "whales" help the "minnows" so that they would be encouraged to make a better content. It is just one factor that I wanted.
As for the system here, @beanz I think has some sensible proposals.
I believe to expect a society to "do the right thing" is flawed in nature, as there will always be bad actors in any community who will find a way to circumvent the system.
It is important ot make sure that a system is put in place to minimize such problems.
There are definitely some whales that do help minnows, but to think that all whales will rally together to lift up the community is not going to happen in my opinion. Much rather we have a system where people have a level playing field wherein there is opportunity for anyone to go out there and get what they want!
Its quite a chaos here at steemit actually.
It is like a sword or a knife, some use it to stab and hurt people. Some use it to cut and prepare food.
Indeed! Such is the nature of any good thing. However, given that it is a place that is precious, there will be those who will be here to protect it.
I definitely strongly believe in what Steemit is about and see a possibly great future for it going forward.
What I hope is that those who want to protect the platform will be successful, for there will always be those who will focus on abusing a good thing.
