RE: 24 hrs analysis of Bid-Bot usage in Steemit
I'm loving this; I have papers to write. You are providing data. :thumbsup:
The last finding is becoming less surprising. Tiny (nonbid) bot and spammer account activity has increased to such an extent that it has become noticable to the naked eye. Some follow and unfollow; just refresh a profile. Maybe in fact Steemit Inc should not delegate to create new accounts. Maybe users should make accounts for those they trust with Steemconnect.
What do you think about the solution EOS came up with to prohibit bots: constitution prohibits them and arbitration possible that can redistribute tokens? On the one hand it eliminates a lot of spam and system abuse, but on the other hand they seem to have ditched ability to archive by posting. And increased by far the risk of their chain. Your thoughts?
The prohibition of bots...this sounds interesting but for me, the keyword is "need".
If there is a need for an upvote, and for sure there is, whether prohibited or not people will find most interesting ways to sell and buy upvotes.
Either out of the blockchain as black market or with different names as "subscription services" there will be vote-selling.

EOS has arbitration and anyone selling votes risks losing their stake, the way they recently explained it.
