RE: Self Voting, Bots, and Value Assignment

in #steemit6 years ago

I just don't think those are genuine. If I can't engage... I can't engage. but I don't want some tech upvoting posts that I may disagree with or dislike just to give the other person a few cents. My name is worth more to me than that. Usually If I get too busy. and can't engage for a bit. When I can. I put in the effort to make up for it with genuine likes/upvotes, resteems and or comments. but even then. ONLY on things I like and support. People I like will inevitably post stuff I would not want my name attached to and a bot will never know what those things are. as it can't know which posts I would deem as deserving of more than just an upvote. I think the value here at steemit is in personal engagement far more than it is in the monetary rewards. imo. if you're doing it for the money and not the social interaction. you're here for the wrong reasons. People will sense this and in the end... your earnings will suffer due to it. but that's just my opinion.

hm, I never thought of that with the bot voting on things you may not agree with. Bots are a huge discussion, many things to think about. People's opinions do matter and need to be taken in consideration. Bots are unable to do that.
