If your reading this - Congratulations you’re a real person. I have posted the last two post to see the Vote to Views Ratio. As it appears that a lot of votes are created by Bots. Essentially people not engaging in the platform and milking it dry.

There are many YouTube Videos showing how to do this and they openly say they don’t read the content. It’s a shame but understandable. One of the worst practices, is to wait a set period to maximise profit for the voter at the expense of the content creator.

As a Content Creator its invaluable to see the views to measure public engagement. It would be nice to see an equal amount of votes to this engagement. But when votes are higher than the views, there is something up. To the real Content creators keep up the good work but the Future of this platform seems determined by the bots and the people behind them.

The Experiment Continues.

Valid point.
