I Wonder If Bid Bots Can Be Made Less Harmful?

I can call myself a curator with some experience. And yet sometimes I have problems. Yesterday, when I was curating, I noticed that most of the authors I supported are more or less familiar names. I try to be responsible for my task, so I started looking for new authors. Tag by tag, I went through different posts, in a row. Unfortunately, I could hardly come across any posts that I could support.

After sorting the posts, for example, by the tag #health, out of the first five, four consisted of one picture and a few words (up to 10). These short posts were supported by bots. This brings me back to the issue of bid bots. If you imagine an outside reader who came in to read something about health, then a sad picture awaits him.

We all respect and love investors, we understand that they are busy and not everyone can and wants to be a blogger. At the same time, they want their money to work and make a profit. But when using bid bots to maximize profit, you need to publish a post every day... any post. There is a problem with this and I believe that there is room for improvement.

Clean up the trash

I think that a small change in the bid bot algorithm can dramatically improve the quality of content on the entire platform. Now everyone who delegates their SP gets an equivalent vote from the bid bot every day. That is, if there are 100 authors who have delegated their SP, 100 posts will appear every day in order to receive a vote. If there are 1000 such authors...

However, it is possible to do otherwise. Bid bot could independently create 10 posts per day and vote for them with 100% power. Subsequently, it could distribute the rewards received among the investors in proportion to the delegated SP.

Advantages of this approach

• A significant reduction in the number of spam posts.
• Investors don't have to do ANYTHING AT ALL to get their profits.
• Increasing the share of attractive content for readers.
