SORRY TECHNICAL ISSUES, TRYING AGAIN
As I've been reading the whitepaper, and other "founding documents" of the platform, in the welcome section. (the things all newcomers are encouraged to read) I've stumbled across some confirmation of a suspicion I've had since trending has become the domain of the highest bidder. Bots were never supposed to influence rewards. I think it's harming the steem eco-system, which should concern all of us. I'm going to share a few quotes from the white paper and a few other sources and talk about this for a bit, in light of my own campaign to encourage users to stop upvoting content they don't read, even by proxy. I hope you'll watch it.
