I don't use bot services. Why? Because I am lazy.
Most people are lazy like me. I'm the laziest though. That's why I personally want systems that even a lazy person like myself could use. If the bot services appeared with an interface allowing easy use perhaps I would be swayed. And if I the laziest person would be swayed. Many others might also.
But this doesn't address the Steem problems; only laziness and appealing to the lowest common potato.
So what do we do?
We get people addicted to games like candy block fortress were people actively earn a new currency "smt". This way they get their reward fill, nullifying any ill effect of not being rewarded in steem, cancelling the bad effects of distribution.
We advertise energy pills to players, and promote never ending tournaments to keep people playing forever. We also release alternatives like "Candy block chef" with a new currency, bringing in the people who think the other games are silly, but eventually find one to their preference. Also forcing people to play multiple games like they are working 4 jobs.
We also open up a support charity on the blockchain. Gaining new members that way. And also lobbying groups both for and against the addictive games.
Easy peasy!
