High-fiving urself: a smart move or a moral fail? 🤔
Is it a Vibe or a Red Flag? 🚩 Let’s Talk About Bot Ethics
📊 The Vibe Check Poll at post end📊
What do u think it says about a person's character when they vote a lot their own bot comments?
The "Maximizer": It’s just smart business, who cares about ethics?
The "Loner": It shows they don’t really want to be part of the community.
The "Red Flag": It makes them look greedy and untrustworthy as a friend.
The "Ghost": It’s boring and takes rewards away from real creators.
drop a comment below n tell me... would u follow someone if u saw them doing this?? i rly want to understand the heart of hive better. stay lovely!! 🌸
Hey everyone!! Hope ur all having a beautiful day. Lately i’ve been spending more time looking at the "behind the scenes" of hive. Not just the posts, but the actual heart of the chain... the votes.
I’m a big believer that how v act on-chain shows who v r in real life. It’s like a digital personality test, right?? If someone is always helping others, u know they r kind. But today i saw something that made me stop and think. I was looking at stayout.bot and its creator stayoutoftherz.
V all know bots r supposed to be tools. maybe for curation or for fun. But when i looked at the rewards, it seemed like the owner was just voting on the bot’s comments over and over. It felt like... a loop? Like someone standing in front of a mirror and high-fiving themselves all day long lol.
I m not here to throw dirt or be mean. But it made me wonder about the personality of an account like that. When v r trying to make friends or find ppl to trust, what does this behavior say??
To me, it feels like a red flag for a friendship. If someone is so focused on their own "loop" that they don't look outside to help real humans, are they actually part of the community?? Or r they just a ghost in the machine? Whether it is a whale or a tiny account, the choice to do this shows a lot about what they value. Is it just about the money, or is it about the people??
I think v should care about who v follow and who v support. If someone is using a bot to quietly pull rewards without adding real value, it feels like they r wearing a mask at a party just to steal the snacks. I want to be around ppl who r transparent and ethical.
That’s why i wanted to do a little poll. I really want to know what the "vibe" is for the rest of the community. Is this just "smart business" or is it a moral fail?? V build this place together, so your opinion matters a lot to me!!
