Do you know of Digg.com, it was taken over by bots and crashed. Mention Kevin Rose to any of the social network techs that work on social networks, Steemit Inc and investors better think twice about bots or they will go the way of Digg.
This article doesn't mentioned the bot wars but my husband loved Digg and was on it since it started and eventually petered out. One reason it failed, the company didn't stay up to date on competition, too many changes to the digg page structure, the company wasn't honest with it's memebers, and I don't think this articles mentions it, but the trending page on Digg was manipulated, there where a group of people colluded, group voting each other up.... it became Rigged.com

I never went on any social media sites before I came on steemit , but I do know that all this crap that's going on here since the hard fork needs to change soon before Steemit crashes ! Thanks so much for the info . And really hope we don't go the way of digg.com / rigged.com !! πππ
