RE: Steem Experience Hangout: Let's Talk about Paid Voting Bots...
This is not advertising. The promotion tab is advertising. In order for this to equate to advertising, you're saying the whales own that spot at the top of trending, it's theirs to sell, like a radio station's airwaves, or a newspapers column inches. That's not true at all.
Bingo. The bid bots = advertisement is a excuse for bid bots. Notice the one making such an argument. We've heard it before and the discerning reject the false equivalency.
Yep, I think so too, but until that idea reaches witness level and they decide to take action, it's not going to change.
