Hey @lukestokes
There's a lot of discussions about rewards pool abuse, unequal distribution based on content quality, and scammers manipulating the system with bot armies and thousands of fake accounts.
I agree with it, I just hate those upvoting bots, fake accounts, and self-voting because these things are abusing the system.
And I also think Steemit.com is decreasing value of Steem because people help such platform which can be manipulated. Social media can be manipulated.
I was part of site which used to reward writers for the views, likes and shares but there were so many like farms which ruined the system and they shut down the site.
I think Steemit should take necessary precautions to make it a sustainable.
What do you think?
What are some of the "necessary precautions" you have in mind? The value here is generated by the value of STEEM. As long as that token has value, STEEM distribution by the blockchain via front end interfaces like Steemit will continue to distribute value.
