I do not use bots. I never have used even one bot. I don't agree with it. Therefore I will not use them. I am a human sharing my human life with my family. That is it and that is all. I give authentic engagement. If I leave a comment I have read the post as well as watched the video (if the post has a video). How to change other people though? Not possible. Unless the system can be tweeked or programmed to solve it I have no hope that people will stop using these "tools". As long as these tools are within grasp of people they will use them to generate profit. If there is nothing to stop them, why would they stop? This is why we need police otherwise people will rob banks, and hijack cars etc. And even with police some people still commit these crimes. So what does that say? Not much. If the system allows for this behavior and there is nothing in place to stop it.. then it will continue. And just because I am aware it hurts the platform and I choose not to do it.. does not mean the next person wont.
On another note why don't we add advertisements to generate income for the users of the platform as well as the platform itself? Since with out money the Dapps, users, and creators will all suffocate? Why are we not changing the things WE CAN change.. instead of dreaming about what we can't change. We can bring ads on board! But we can not change the hearts of men.
Lets fix what we can. And only if the system can be altered to stop bots than it will continue.
The questions are:
Can the system be changed to stop the use of bots? (not by changing the hearts of men we all know that wont happen) but technically speaking as a programmer?
What can be done to bring Ads onto the site to generate profit for the entire ecosystem?
What other solutions can anyone suggest that does not involve telling people who make bad choices to "be nice". Obviously that does not work. If it did we would not need prisons, or police. I could just stand out side and yell from my porch.. be nice everyone.. and don't do bad things.. and then everyone would suddenly never commit crime? Of course not. There needs to be some form of barrier in place to stop the use of bots.. and if there is not than it will continue.
