RE: Introducing the Steem Defender Bot. Designed to Protect Steem From Economic Collapse and Support Minnow Growth (Article)

I am not very happy to know about the abusive behaviors of @earthnation toward using bots and the reward pool.

However, I do see value in the idea of implementing the influence measure to steemit accounts.

I believe that the advantages from such implementation are worth considering because (in my opinion)

* They will prevent circle and feedback-loop upvotes between whales and Co.

* They will prevent automated votes on the same accounts just for the sake of higher curation rewards, without bothering to read the contents.

* They will prevent @earthnation and others from abusing bot votes to the extreme (if at all)

Now whether @earthnation does this programing/implementation to steemit blockchain or not, is another issue to be discussed. I am sure steemit has lots of good programmer who are able to make such changes without depending on @earthnation. since people don't seem to trust them very much.

@earthnation,
You have started the very wrong way. People are getting fed up with abuse of reward pools and are very ready to attack anyone that does it openly to get attention.
Maybe you were doing this without malicious intent, it will be hard now to get back the respect and trust of steemit. Yet, hard doesnt mean impossible to correct with hard work and sincerity. So, don't make it impossible by continuing on the same path you started with.

Best,
Dr. TLK
