Your post has inspired a rant, and I nearly offended you by using this context as an example. Although I am going to try my utmost best to not be a bull in a china shop, and cut what I want to say down to its essence.

Firstly, what you are suggesting I have contempt for, It is immoral to constrain something for the whole based on the actions of a part. What you are proposing will not solve the problem at all, it is only going to mask it, and it is short-sighted - based on the nature of greed -

Secondly, Bots. They leave a foul taste in my mouth, mostly because the content I have come across that has bots promoting it is not a conversation, it is a broadcast that is shut off from me. The authors generally do not take the time to respond, which is okay if we were dealing with PR and Mass Communication. It is not okay on steemit because this is a platform where the audience is one of the most important factors, and good practice is not to become estranged from your audience. This is what makes art powerful and famous, the deeper you are knitted into your audience the clearer you are able to express the zeitgeist. It is my humble opinion that these bots rob people of this powerful source of momentum - and it is not impossible to create a horde of devote fanatics that wave your banner and evangelise your message.

Now for the nature of Greed, it is short-sighted, undisciplined, and not patient at all. I was watching a video on Tai Lopez's channel today where he expresses this exact point. There is stupid money and what is behind it are lazy undisciplined people, and these people tend to make mistakes. It is from these mistakes that the stable ecosystem of Crypto will be built on.

Stop concerning yourself about the short-sighted people on steemit. With enough rope, they will hang themselves.

Start preparing for the next wave of people that are actually good at what they do, the people that actually deserve the attention they receive. That have proven their value over, and over again. Because it is these people that are the actual threat to the current ecosystem, these that are abusing the system are actually signs of the good graces that are available to us right now. Unlike the other platforms we do not have people that are giants in our niches, this pond is still big enough for everyone to swim in quite comfortably. Times are coming where this is not the case.

Times are coming where you will need an email list, you will need to pay to play, and the attention of your audience will be what your competitors are aiming to gain a share of, and where much more of them will crop up.
