RE: Daily Discussion No. 5: Addressing the Paid Upvote Bot Controversy - Calling a Spade a Spade
Ending bots is a financial threat to every substantial stakeholder's profits on Steemit.
How so?
In as simple terms a possible! lol
(sorry, I really am a techy dunce - I put my hat on everyday, with a big 'D' on it, as I sit down to my computer..)
Rather than seeing it as friend die slowly, maybe see it as a withering plant, with the shoots of something bigger and better coming along...
(that's my best optimistic speech I can muster, without several coffees..)
All delegations, all votebots, all paid votes, etc., come from those stakes. All profits go to their wallets.
Without bots, there aren't many ways to profit from SP, yet. I believe that's because the ease with which bots enabled profit has precluded alternatives from being explored and developed.
Since no other profitable enterprises have been explored, stopping bots is a threat to profitable enterprise, and all those enterprises are staked by the largest stakeholders.
