RE: The Daily Coverup - 4/13/18 - Transparency Under Attack.
How many people’s pages did transparencybot comment on today? https://steemit.com/@transparencybot/comments
For transparency purposes your bot commented on 27 different pages in last 24hrs with zero relevance to the authors work. Some of it probably sucked... some of it may be good. Do you know? I don’t I am only here to report how many comments you make per day.
I've got to say, the overwhelming majority of steemit posts @transparencybot comments on are, well, garbage, and I've looked at quite a few of them. Transparency bot is at least trying to do something. Also, flagged the shit out of your other comments on here because they annoyed me, but upvoted this one, because you actually engaged in a meaningful way.
I usually always engage in a meaningful way. It’s not what the bot is doing.. it is how. Yes many things are trash. The bot does not distinguish... also who is to decide what is value.. changes from person to person. Unsolicited stuff like this should stay off people’s comments. As I said before this bot never touched a post of mine. If the system allows for this then that’s the system. Until real solutions are in place who really can say right or wrong? As always he who has most money wins.
You know how we get real solutions? By trying out various new ones. Whether @transparencybot succeeds or fails- and I'm not particularly sanguine about its chances- it's at least an attempt at correcting the problem. Hell of a lot better than doing nothing.
The bot does not distinguish between trash or not. That is correct. The bot doesn't make a decision on quality of content. The bot makes a tally of money injected into a post to get it in-front of peoples eyes and then posts the results.
Sure the value of material posted varies from person to person but value of SBD and STEEM is actually the same to all. I believe this bot is trying to combat the statement "As always he who has most money wins." not lie in bed with it.
Also you said you flagged the rest of my posts because they annoyed you. Maybe other people would be entertained. See you are policing what others do... did you have to flag... nope you could of just not read it. See somehow what you think seems to matter more. Why is that? Did my pictures offend you? Why are you the one to decide?
I mainly did it because you not only posted them all, but self-upvoted them all. I probably would have ignored them if you hadn't done that- it leads me to believe that you're more of a spammer than anything.
I did it because the bot upvotes itself to top of people’s page. Same thing
Except... it doesn't upvote itself to the top of people's pages? So really not the same thing at all.
@bycoleman has never upvoted???
Don't really care about alt accounts upvoting in the context of a creator upvoting their publicly acknowledged bot creation, that's pretty reasonable. It's an account upvoting all their comments (not posts, no problem with self-upvoting posts so long as you're not posting four times a day or something) that bugs me. Even moreso when they're all replies to the same post. What you're doing is worse.
I reviewed some of your stuff... what kinda bots do you use? Is there a right one?
.32 get a life! Wasn’t turning a profit just pushing to top
Things that bug you... ?! Who the fuck are you? Nobody cares what bugs you. I’m for a free open site.... not this bs I feel this is the way it should be shit. I just want people to leave other people alone. Don’t like it... stay away. Don’t like Mexican... eat Italian! Don’t like girls... sick dicks... I don’t care. You know what bugs me..... who the fuck cares!!!
For transparency since I guess nobody can look for themselves... this bot never posted on any of my posts. However I did promote someone else’s post. Not so transparent if you don’t list who paid for the bot... sometimes it’s not the person who posts it. I just don’t like people who think their view point is the only one that matters. @bycoleman @transparencybot are self appointed hall monitors. See you tomorrow!
good point to say who paid for it. but if it does I say it should be in the comments
Always “I say” “I think”.... sure is lots of people who think they know best. I don’t claim to know the answer for the best for platform. Don’t spam other people’s posts... whether they are good to “you” or shit to “you.” Transparency is already there.
How are bidbots not spamming the trending page? What's the point in judging others for sharing their "I say" and "I think" when you do the same?
You are taking @transparencybot way too personally. No "I think" there.
"I say" means its his opinion which he is allowed. Question, why not see it for what it is, another bot trying to do the job of a government that doesn't exist. But no one likes those on steemit 😂
I understand your disappointment that you paid to support someone. We have to do it in order to fighg the crap that uses more bidbots cuz they have no followers.
I have started this discussion on @carlgnash page
Please consider to look at both sides and lets see if we can help transparencybot help US ?
You may feel commenting on bot use isn't relevant.
I disagree.
The idea behind curation is for good content to be upvoted more than not so good content, and bots break that. He's not even flagging those posts, as is @heimindanger's bot. He's just pointing it out, which is a valuable contribution to the conversation.
So, it's not spam. It is relevant to the author's work, because the author's aren't potentiating curation, they are breaking it.
I would agree if all the “money” was reviewing and rewarding. They are selling their votes. Then you have others delegating sp for return. So the problem is deeper than the people using the bots.
None of that is possible without the buyers of votes.
And your reply isn't responsive to my point, which is that comments about votebuying aren't spam on posts that buy votes.
