RE: Vote Bot Takeover Musings & Open Forum - What Would You Like Me To Write About?
I'm thinking that the massive influx of new users and new content to go through is a major factor in play that you aren't mentioning. Large staked accounts owe it to their investment to boost new folk, and readers may feel overwhelmed with having more to consume than ever. I too am feeling a bit lost in the sea... Communities couldn't come soon enough, yet I'm not sure they are coming too soon.
Lots of bots, and competition... Interesting to participate in the growing pains of this community... Who guessed what the increase in price and popularity would bring.
Communities could save us... But when?
"Communities could save us... But when?"
A critical question, since SMTs are clearly the focus. As I mused in my recent thoughts about Steemit being a Beta, perhaps the plan is simply not to devote that much more effort/development to the blogging aspect going forward and simply let it "Wild West" itself out.
Only if they have fixed the promotion tab initially ... people instead of diverting towards bots could have promoted posts using steemit promotion. The problem is not the promotion but waste of all SP which could have been for manual curation getting used by bots. :(
