Up-vote bots will be the death of Steemit, and here's a great example of why I believe it to be so:

I think upvote from bots are not good in the long term in spite of the benefits for those that use them in short term. They retard the growth & full potential of what steem.

Maybe an option to filter out posts with paid votes would be good for people. I dont come here to see ads, i am here to understand content. With bid bots in place, sometimes the best content is difficult to find.

I think as far as content goes, you have to do your own due diligence of finding the content creators you enjoy, and just following them, so that's not the issue... the issue is will there be any rewards left to give them once the bots are done raping them all?

I think in time there won’t be enough rewards, and some creators will just move on. This platform is incentivized by reward. For better or for worst, that paradigm is set. If rewards die, people move off. Then it will be just whales and bots.

Ha ha, just whales and bots... what's that going to look like?


???

Ha! Is that what the whale who wins the flag war will look like?

To me it looks more like a whale in the grip of a killer mechanical device or bot.

Naa, that's his exo-suit!

Exo-suit ha? where do I get me one of those?

Let me check Amazon really quick... :-)

Hhaha then last there may b flag war at end.. And the winner whale will alone rule steemit...

Ha ha, I guess so!
