RE: Apparently the Bots have already taken over steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

You are spot on. Bots can add to a system, but not the way it's happening right now.

The bots only respond to collect curator points and make money.

Unfortunately because of the way Steem(it) is set-up it's very difficult to stop these bots.
The programmers need to create an easy way to stop these bots, but I'm not sure if really high on their list of improvements.

Sort:  

I hear you, however If within my first 30 seconds on here and I can identify a handful of culprits then there must be an easy way to find them in bulk.

I would start by banning the ones that obviously do it and send a message to the community that it won't be tolerated.

I'm sure the programmers are aware, I'm still trying to find what they are working on for future releases. It would be very good to stop these bots, if we want Steem to really grow.
