RE: Steemit: A Social Platform Or A Bot Gaming System?
I think there needs to be a major marketing campaign to talk about the paid upvotes and who is getting what from where.... and the policies that are agreed upon to keep minnows suppressed and keep major stakeholders close to the same % influence they currently have.
I think people would be surprised to know that @hajein is not in the top 10 earners when we account for incoming wallet transactions, curation rewards and alt accounts.
Why do people get so up in arms about @hajein taking a share of the reward pool when we have some unethical/dishonest bot owners pulling in more daily to their wallets from their scams? <-- these people feed off the newbies promising them more views and followers while not even looking at the post they upvote at a loss to the person buying the vote ... and then there are all the spam bots that spam your wall, with a dishonest representation, if they upvote you...
I call them scams because they are advertised as being 100% upvote auctions; but in reality you get a max fixed return that is lower than advertised.
interesting point of view @royaleagle! :)
