Some time ago I wrote about the rise of voting bots. Is it time for the war of voting bots?:D Anyway good post, thanks for bringing this out. We need as much transparency as possible as there's no "police" to sort this things out. Cheers!
PS. Can you tell your opinion about @booster? Reading this post something tells me that @buildwhale is the most honest one ;)
@bellyrub has had a long history of self-voting and selling votes privately. Now it has gone to a new level. Asking Steemians for 40,000 Steem to get 8M delegation when they haven't even been making good on their existing small bellyrub bank offer was a new low. Why should they be trusted with 40,000 Steem, even more importantly why should Steemians have the front the cash for their business. Luckily the "deal" was shut down within an hour or so before too many people lost money.
I can't speak for @booster, and I run @buildawhale so my opinion is biased.
OMG you're an actual person behind the user! :gasp:
Hate to be THAT kind of steemian, but I would really like your opinion on my latest post. I think it is relevant to your interests as you're already halfway there to implementing it.
Let me check it ;)
Just posted a new one, so it's the one about the voting bot that can grow steemit.
