The Steem blockchain is decentralized. Steemit and all of these other sites and apps are businesses. There are things that good for business and things that are bad for business. If you ran a manufacturing plant and one of your robots was malfunctioning, you'd fix it before it can cause more damage. This is simple stuff.

Again you can't block bots you prevent it from being seen on trending and stuff. Even facebook and twitter has bots. You can make bots harder to be made but not blocking.
When robots take over the world; the people who said, "Nothing can be done," will be to blame.
Well that is point nothing can done :(
Unless you make humans even stronger than robots by genetic and robotic enhancements.
So we can apply this strategy to bots by making bots harder to run and giving human aka manual votes more power/incentives
That's a start.
As of this writing, there's a gentleman on trending who introduced himself at the cost of around $400 US. That behavior creates a paywall of $400 just to say hello on this platform. That paywall only exists because of these bots and those who run them. If this place wants to be a disruptive technology and see 1 billion members using various apps and sites, the playing field must remain accessible to as many walks of life as possible. That can't happen now. Not like this. People can say hello anywhere else in the world, for free. So, something needs to be done. It's getting out of hand and it's painfully obvious where it will lead. People come and leave before they even get started.
What I am more confused was that the guy is from Bangladesh an area where bitcoin is illegal. The guy has guts to show his photo.
Follow the money. Look at the wallet. It'll raise a few eyebrows. Certainly raised mine.
