From my knowledge/experience, that's impossible on current blockchain based system.
But Google somehow finds bot- clickers in AdWords system and deletes their payout. I don't see difference between AdWords bot clickers and steemit legions of bots
Steem(it) is not against bots and in fact there's no difference if a vote or comment or whatever was made by a bot as far as the blockchain is concerned.
It would certainly be possible to make a good guess to see if some behaviour was likely to be a bot (I proposed just such a web app idea here called Bot or Not? 😄) but it completely allowed. So to be clear, Google Adwords have a policy against non-human visitors (bots), steem does not.
Good idea for the first step.
If you support the idea please let a comment! 😊
I can just say it's different.
Google has final say about their product and data, it's centralized. The rules can be changed very quickly as they see fit.
Steem is not. Rules in Steem are pre-defined consensus and not easy to change. It's extremely hard if not impossible to clearly define such "delete payout after found guilty" rules and implement them. Bots are simply smarter than human when acting by existed rules. Also "guilty" is often subjective, so can be abused as well.
I mean that human content evaluation (POW analog ) is more effective than bot's, so if there's a way to separate them it may be useful. But if you say that there is no such "Maxwell Daemon" than OK, let's live with them..
I think so too. Views are stemit.com level only
