Why twitter is ruined. Don't let it happen to steemit.

I share your concern. I joined Steemit because I thought social media that is un-hackable would be uncensorable. But I'm beginning to fear that Steemit could become just another "vote for prom queen and prom king" exercise, where only popular drivel is discussed. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah. Guess well see.

I have only been here a month and have see the bots at work.
And it does take away from the happy feeling you had while chatting with the guy as he has 8 votes on each comment seconds after posting.
But one guy had a solution down vote and flag ... So felt good again lol

The fact that steemit uses manual approval would help no? For both you and ops concern. An ip ban could probably fix it, if not vpn circumvents it. My biggest concern is how much voting and posting power the biggest accounts have. If thats what you mean with prom king and queen i agree. It seems like it could snowball out of control. I feel like i dont understand enough tho.
