Why wouldn’t it? A platform is needed...

Yep. Those upvote robots are upvoting without understanding the value of the post being upvoted. Is this fair to those creating good contents set aside than those not so good posts but being upvoted buy paid robots?

Upvoting bots are indeed a nemisis.

I don't really know. Are they really that bad? Are they the cancer cells on Steemit?

The lack of human interaction I think goes against what Steemit stands for. Helping people get noticed for their contributions to the chain. Bots are preprogrammed, like computers, really can’t do anything unforeseen. Nor can a bot make an assumption about useful content or for that matter the lack there of.
As a programmer myself I see the bot being a front door into the steemit community for the advancement of spam / phishing / unwanted advertising.
Although the blockchain is fairly new in the speak of technology, the concept of digital human interaction has been around for a long time. Even in the early days of widespread internet use with AOL chat rooms. At first it was great no bots, no spam, no adverts. Once programmers began to develop the overlays(API interactions) for the respective platforms, spam and scams were soon to follow.
In my opinion...Steemit accounts should have to be a real human individual. Yes, I do not think my cat Gutterbutt should have an account. Although he’s a great cat, he can’t type well, and I really don’t think he’s qualified to upvote anything but a tuna.
Anyhow @ronel, great topic!

I'm in agreement with most of what you said except is allow one account for personal and one for business.

Thanks @jamescash!
Great cat indeed lol!
By the way, talking of cats, here's a warrior cat fighting against upvote buyers/sellers. Introducing @grumpycat!

It's so hard to get your content seen now. I spent at least 1-2 hours on each post for both @bazooka and @liverehab but they barely get seen or voted on. Unless you are a 🐋 it makes sense to think upvote bots are the way to go. For 2018 I've decided to not use any bots to see how much organic growth we can truly achieve.

The big thing is branching out. Incidentally, I stumbled upon your profile thanks to @davidpakman, and going through his followers to see who would be of similar interest to me. Perhaps you might gain some more mutuals in similar fashion?

Are upvote sellers/buyers for Steemit growth or for upvote sellers/buyers personal interests/profits?

It's pretty bad right now.. all the bot accounts where you send it SBD for upvotes... sigh...
I use follow/upvote communities.. which I rather not but it's the only way a minnow can survive.

No war no peace! Do we need to wage war with upvote sellers/buyers to attain peace on Steemit? Are these upvote sellers/buyers really that bad?
