My battle with bots

in #dtube5 years ago


What's your relationship with bots? Are they your best mates and you welcome them with open arms everyday? Or do you have a complicated relationship with them, like I do?

Recently, they have been a real pain in the neck for me. That's literally and physically. I'll tell you more about that in the video, but a word of caution, it gets worse than this.

The main point of the video, isn't that though. It's really my struggle with bots, how I'm fighting very hard to resist them as I so want to make it by myself on Steemit. This was something that I raised on a recent post by @tarazkp.

I would love to hear your own thoughts on this controversial issue after you've heard my decision, and what led me to make that decision.

@livinguktaiwan, Unfortunate to see and hear about your neck pain issue, wish that soon everything will be fine.

No matter which aspect, every stuff hold the essence of Duality because we are living in an world of Duality. Same way, when it comes to Bots, some are good and some can annoy, but at the end of the day, it depends upon people how they are using the service of Bots.

Stay Blessed. 🙂

Thanks @chireerocks. Pain in the neck is much better now, thank you, though can't say the same for the bot. I guess I've come to accept they're here and not going away, and have to live with it. Peace :-)

Welcome and have a great time ahead. 🙂

Personally I don't tend to like bid bots, but I respect the need to use them for maximizing the visibility of the post. I had one specific post not long ago, that I wanted to get out there as much as poss, so I was researching what bid bots are decent. I then came across ocdb, which in my opinion, is the most respectable "vote bot" out there. I then found out you have to be on the whitelist to use ocdb, and then (not knowing I was actually already on the whitelist) tried to figure out how to get on it and why I wasn't already on it hahhaa...

Anyway I've started using the ocdb bot since then. I don't use it for every post though, only on the ones I want as many people to see as possible, and usually for good reason. But I def don't judge anymore whether or not others use any bots, as long as it's not utter rubbish they're using bots on. I think you should def make use of ocdb if you can, in whatever way you're comfortable with :)

Yeah, think I've come to terms with it now, just needed to justify to myself. Once I did that actually feel much better. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I guess the time is now.

Thanks
