What is a win? what is consistency?
to use the definitions of the above words i take a long look at our history of those:
win (v.)
"be victorious," c. 1300 fusion of Old English winnan "to labor, toil, struggle for, work at, strive, fight," and gewinnan "to gain or succeed by struggling, conquer, obtain," both from Proto-Germanic *winn(w)an "to seek to gain" (source also of Old Saxon winnan, Old Norse vinna, Old Frisian winna, Dutch winnen "to gain, win," Danish vinde "to win," Old High German winnan "to strive, struggle, fight," German gewinnen "to gain, win," Gothic gawinnen "to suffer, toil"), from PIE root *wen- (1) "to desire, strive for."
consistency (n.)
1590s, "firmness of matter," from Medieval Latin consistentia or directly from Latin consistentem, from consistere (see consist). Meaning "state of being in agreement or harmony" (with something) is from 1650s; meaning "self-consistent" is from 1716.
consist (v.)
1520s, from Middle French consister (14c.) or directly from Latin consistere "to stand firm, take a standing position, stop, halt," from com "with, together" (see com-) + sistere "to place," causative of stare "to stand, be standing," from PIE root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm." Related: Consisted; consisting.
what makes me take these words on todays point? reasoning.
so with the advance of comminucation, the original habitual arrangements of ours culture and society got enlarged and blewn out of proportions, so we have today is just a bigger and faster moving process of what was before.
what do i mean?
what usually was only going in a school, now goes online, what was originally small 50- people in a clique, is not an international group of members. and so on...
here was a time when i worried about this. moments when i forgot who i am and where i came from led me to fear or ridicule such truths...
yet when we introduced robots to automate and sterilise the process we get failures all across the board. because robots, however useful they seem, usually don't check their feedback, because most humans don't program them to do so, just to fulfill the task at hand.
and i know this is way lower so if you made it this far, well done on being a tenatious reader...
my point is about using bots to boost trafic and blow up a digital currency bubble.
steem is a platform which's blood is about user-interaction of any kind. this sound nice and good until you replace the word "user" (which commonly is referred to a human) with the word "program".
"steem is a platform which rewards program interactions of any kind" and let humans benefit from it.
and now, you can stone me (digitally) all you want, yet this is the situation. i have not used bots of any kind, nor am i planning to.
yet this always divides people into 2 groups. those who cheat, and those who do not cheat.
the cheaters are the high risers with good income and little work, and clean users are those who gain low or no income with little work.
this is how the world is running outside of the internet...so i guess well done for copying all the stupid it has to offer.
so why not cheat myself? how am i not convinced that i should do it too?
ask me in the comments and i will answer...but you wont, because nobody reads or does anything to channels this small and the difference between me and channels is NOT JUST TIME or money invested. it's cheats.
feel free to do anything you please...yet be prepared to take the consequences.
