The problem with bots is that it gives a bot creator incredible power over the steemit world. Within a very short time steem power can be created and harnessed to sway the entire system by the voting power of those few individuals. Newbies have no voice whatsoever and the whales essentially control the content of all topics and trending content. This is like the liberal media on sterioids with elites deciding on what the masses get to see. I think its heading down a dark road for such a great new platform for expression of ideas and content. I get that somebody can make and will make bots but the power derived is out of control and will eventually ruin steemit.

Why do you think it is out of control? Certainly, it could be out of control, but as far as I've seen the whales are actually behaving themselves quite well.
The whales always behave. They play with their prey just before they gang up on it and devour it. lol
