I really wonder what the purpose of the "transparency bot" is on a platform where everything is transparent.....from every comment, upvote, flag, and even the wallet. Also its seems odd that there is a cut of amount in dollars that triggers the bot at $50 us. Im new on the platform and believe in it fully. So much so I put real money into it. It's all about creating value so my thought is I can invest in my post and create value for the curators and if I'm lucky for me. Sadly, most times I lose money in the bots but I'm ok with that for now as I feel I'm adding to the overall value of the blockchain. I may be wrong in my idea here but I am at least being transparent LOL!! Lastly, most of the bots are owned and operated by whales and witness'es who help shape the direction of the platform. Clearly, they endorse bots so the majority here sets the tone. I'm here to spread a message of love and light and will leave the policy-making and infighting on said policy to others. I remain open to hear how they hurt the platform and change my mind.
i have yet to really get to the number crunching but if a bot is going to help me invest and get a return or get up higher in trending instead of the garbage being posted then i'm okay with botting for the moment. the new split of what is being shared out; meaning now it is not just SBD its STEEM and SP so that definitely does change the payout as far as i can see.
i see more and more people fighting the bots and maybe that is because they cannot fight the whales or fatty dolphins. so far, this is all i can really make sense of the situation. they feel that bots are an atrocity and should be done away with ... yet they use bots to do it! BuahahahahI am with you on this one @ground2feet, there are many against one using more than one bot apparently and making "too much" money from a bot. some feel there are those losing money on bots most of the time so why use them? there is the same ole argument, yet these are usually the ones who have a huge delegation or being supported by a whale or witness.
There is going to be massive movement by those who are truly concerned.
This bot does not downvote (yet), just posts stats ... transparency is a good thing for all.
well at least (only) transparency is being revealed, for others like myself we feel bots are okay to use as the whales had all the power and at least some of us were able to gain some momentum out of plankton status a little quicker, we still have a long way to go to even get to a dolphin. i'm barely at 1k, which was the original goal.
Thanks for the reply.
Sure, just be kind to our platform and it will repay you many times over.
well i've been here for fourth months as i mentioned and well i have not seen a lot of kindness with flagging and wars and crazy self upvotes. most of the time i choose to write good content and help the "babies" as i call them. imo it is better to also even out the playing field so not just a small amount of people have all the power.
there are many of us out here who work very hard and do not just take. we also have not had the "fortune" to catch the eye of people to deli us huge amounts or cash out BTC into STEEM. personally, i post 2-4 posts a day write original content, post original photos the majority of the time and keep it real. i look for those that are on the same plane and try to assist those that are having a hard time. anyhoo, thanks for your reply too.
Please keep it up, quality does get noticed, ALWAYS, and it almost always takes much longer than we thought.
i'll try to take your words to heart ... ho hum ... the waiting ... the agony ... hahahaah
I agree although this platform is already pretty transparent. Is there a maximum amount that is allowed to invest? I'm confused that the set amount of $50 USD that seems to be the issue here? I really only want to contribute to the overall value of the platform with good content, good comments, and even buying steem. Can you share your ideas on the subject please?
Thank you for the reply.
You can see the motivations behind this bot by viewing its blog. @transparencybot.
This bot is seeks to add additional transparency by enumerating the bots and the total spent, I hope you will agree that such information is likely to be very useful for the community.
