With my suggestions, we will be able to separate those who use bidbots for the visibility and those who use it for profit.
What do you think?
What would be the purpose of separating the "visibility bidbot users" from the "profit bidbot users"? The users we see on the trending page are just a small fraction of all bidbot users. Let's say 2% of all bidbot users buy their votes for visibility. Then what?
I agree that the trending page right now is useless and should probably be changed with a better algorithm. But I don't think changing the trending page will have much impact on vote buying.
Well as long as vote buying is not the only means of appearing on the trending page, that is a start. Stopping people from buying votes is impossible except the platform itself is restructured in a way where bidbots and other forms of vote buying will not be necessary. Until then, getting it clear that it is not visibility but profit that brings people to vote buying is a start.
For, whoever does the maths will realise that it is those who have money that trend not those who have the community at heart. This also means that the constant harping on community and interaction and engagement.... Is bullshit. The platform only cares about those making money not those making quality content.
