I mean, I'm torn. On the one hand, I'm TOTALLY with the masses. It sucks when whales and large dolphs can upvote the reward pool into their pockets, leaving the rest of us with less.
It sucks and I hate it--not because they are making more than I am, but because it degrades and jeopardizes the total value and longevity of steemit, and is a bogus move, from a long-term investment position.
On the other hand, how is it any different than taking an ROI on some venture capital?
On the other hand, when your business decisions as a large share-holder are negatively affecting the landscape and economy as a whole of the business by which you gain, is it not then your responsibility as a large share-holder to cradle the success of the business like a baby in your hand?
And if that is the case, should you not be treated as a share-holder would, in a board meeting, with a majority vote?
And isn't that where our witnesses come in to some degree? And I suppose, by your (bernie) making a statement here and there, that is the result of a board meeting of sorts, is it not?
It all comes down to remaining focused on your own efforts, and both cooperating with and competing with the people at your level. You will invariably climb the ladder. There's is no difficult-to-climb dominance hierarchy here like we have in the fiat economy.
Every skill has value here so long as you know how to produce, create, teach, or entertain.
Grumpycat did a surprisingly good job of forcing the bots to only upvote posts that are less that 3.5 days old. If a few whales joined forces, they could tip the ROI of a bot into the negatives and close them down one at a time.
I'm not from a technical background. However, I think that the bots should be identified and have their accounts closed or massively flagged to drop their reputation to negative levels
That's not how it works in a decentralized system. If someone has the power to simply close someone else's account, then we suddenly are in a centralized system.
I hope there is something I can do to stop the dmania upvote countering because Dmania is such an incredible tool for steem and it would stop such incredible organic momentum we are getting from Dmania, Steemit and 4chans massive meme communities will come to steem and bring millions of users from all over the web, its really an incredible tool for steem and i am SURE zombee will apologize and learn from his mistakes here i will try and talk with him

Just thinking out loud right now.
Superb bro

OP does have a point... this post passes copyscapes it isn't like they are copying. The post is thought out at least, it seems.
The best solution would be to BAN the BOTS from Steemit and to enforce one account per user
And how do you propose that to be done on a technical level?

Steemit is anything but a decentralized system. LOL
Explain.

I think that's exactly what everyone does NOT want.
It's only cool if you counter garbage memes
