RE: Still Upvoting Your Own Comments On Steemit? - Introducing The Smackdown Kitty Bot!

in #steemit7 years ago

There has been a lot of grumbling about people upvoting their own comments. I think the greater good of the platform comes first rather that ones ability to take as much as one can.

Sort:  

I upvoted your comment, hope that's ok :) And I don't care if my 100% votes don't really do much. I'm still such a minnow, but hey, it's just a token of appreciation, right?

btw I'm awed at your upvote trail @marcusxman. How do you do it? Seems you're on Steemit 24/24... 😵

I know and just think that if the feature never existed in the first place this would be a non-factor. However, once you put something like this into the hands of people it is hard to take back. They should just build this into the platform if this is the direction that they want to take and that way prevent people from even doing it.

Without this feature I think maybe Steemit.com would not be where it is now. which may become an albatross around its neck.If they can solve this issue as well as copy/modify a little/paste then the reward pool will be safe. But having said that I think we're stuck because of bot voting. Not saying bot voting is bad becasue I use it too, but because the bots are already set and will vote what ever is posted.

@marcusxman I agree that something needed to be done but the Steemit developers should have just coded it in instead of having a bot chase you down.
