My thoughts on bots round 103 --- Block users from using them if they above Rep 60 --- Make Reputation great again

I have though out loud about this topic multiple times

I think in theory buying votes could have a place in our middle.

But as it is used now I am not sure anymore...

When I read posts from bots bragging how much Steem they were able to add to their bot it always leave a sour taste in my mouth.

I know the Steem they would get would not automaticly be powered up by someone else but what I think is a trend wort a couple of thought is that everyone is able to sell his votes now.

You can often read about how people praise Steemit because they can receive rewards by giving to others.

But the trend seem to go to rent out your Steem or become a part of a bid for vote bot.

I dont really want to talk about the sense or nonsense of bots.

As I stated I think they can be useful.

I used them myself and probably will do so again in the future. I also delegated to several bots and rented out my steem as well and who know if I get sick of Steemit again I might do it again.

So please dont imagine me like I would be talking from a high horse because I am really not and more spitballing.

The first time I read about bots it was said they should support the little guy, the newcomer so he can advertise his content and stand out of the sea of bullshit and get a kickstart.

sounds reasonable

The more you invest the better your "airtime" and if you invest enough your post will be a superbowl commercials which is trending here.

People will see you and if they like you and your content even follow and upvote you.

Now I read about complains that people demand a profitable upvote

Which is ridiculous in my eyes.

If you bid on a vote you can do your research or just roll the dice if a vote will be profitable or not and besides that do you think Coca Cola can go to the network and complain that their commercial did not pump up their sales enough they broadcasted during the Superbowl?

It was about visibility, not auto profit.

If you want auto profit do your research and pick your spots.

Often you can see 1 person bidding on multiple post of them in one round, which is seems kind of super stupid ( I got told I should not use the word retarded anymore which is kind of retarded).

The point of this rant...

Block people from using Bots after a certain reputation

I think 60 would be good.

Don´t make them or delegating SP to them too profitable otherwise we will be in a voting desert were no one votes for anyone if they don`t get paid for + their curation reward.

Please discuss
