CURATE EACH OTHER, NOT YOURSELVES!

Hello everyone,

Let me ask you one important question:

Do I indeed need to use VOTING BOTS if I want to get some (at least semi-noteworthy) amount of STEEM tokens on this platform? That’s what many of you claim.

If so, isn’t this clashing fiercely with the MOST FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of STEEMIT?

The revolutionary idea about this SHARING COMMUNITY is that the COMMUNITY allocates success, right?

Users decide COLLECTIVELY on which posts are to be rewarded.

STEEM should be GIVEN by the community, not PURCHASED by individual users.

However, it seems success is largely achieved by users who feed VOTING BOTS with their own capital.

As Hive account@yallapapi says: “The people who have money are the ones who get to have their voices heard, just like in the real world.” (https://steemit.com/steemit/@yallapapi/how-to-trick-paint-chip-eating-circle-jerkers-into-commenting-and-upvoting-your-posts)

I don’t like this idea. Don’t like it at all.

I know that there are a lot of people and accounts dealing with abuse issues. But, as far as I know (correct me in case I’m wrong!), voting bots are not banned?

Those bots break the very core principles of STEEMIT!
Don’t you agree?

Would be great to hear some voices on this!

Cheers
