Thanks Piotr vor writing another informative post!
Actually I am not using those bidding bots. My goal was it always to gather knowledge and grow as an platform...thus bots are in my opinion only useful when they are used as an incentive to motivate the community. Bots are also quite nice for automation processes but nevertheless I am not a fan of 'em and only use steemauto and such services for the time when I am not controlling my account. It is an autopilot with a couple of little extras ^^
Greed and the thrive for more can end us in a couple of problems. Imagine what happens if more bots than genuine users would use steem..the power would shift to bots but the what makes this platform valueable is the people on the platform thus those guys who are 'mis'using bot accounts and stuff alike do not realize that they may decrease teh value of the platform in the long run. Most of 'em I guess are here on a 'quick buck' opportunity.
If the community and the people over here care about this platform, flagging and other stuff will occur more often to those abusing their power. I hope that steem as a community is able to thrive and survive these problems as this technology bares huge chances for the future.
---> just get a couple of your own friends on the network and build something together. More people are what we need and of course therefore more genuine and nice content.
PS: I like flagwars already waiting for the next one to come :D
hi
im very sorry for such a late reply @nopenotagain
Somehow I've missed your comment. Thx for sharing your view on bots
It must be very hard to progresss on steemit without bots.
Im not sure what do you mean.
Yours,
Piotr
Hey Piotr!
If u flag someones post, u are showng the believe that something about this post is wrong. If enough people are flagging one post, the reward will be denied to the author.
This happened and still happens as we talk to the posts of haejin. Guys like berniesanders were furious of haejins post generating so much rewards continously without having the feeling that the post was worth something.
He gathered some guys and started flagging haejin. As a response guys started flagging bernie and here we are! Flagwar time!
Hopefully it made sense to u :)
Thank you for welcoming me back but i have the feeling that time will get more scarce in the future :/ lots of things which have to be done and my company is expanding. I guess I'll be busy 'til the end of the year :O still i believe I will be rewarded with much more free time in the future as work such work will pay out in the future :)
hi @nopenotagain
most of all thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. I appreciate it a lot.
What you wrote made perfect sense to me. Im aware about this flag war but I tried to stay away because once I got already downvoted for upvoting one of haejin posts (I was just new in the town and didnt know what's going on).
ps.
you mind sharing with me what your company is about? Just curious. Something crypto related?
Yours
Piotr
