Thanks, good perspective. I wasn’t sure where the article was exactly going but tying it into Steem, bidbots and vote selling at the end wrapped it up nicely.
I spoke about this in my latest post as well; the only thing some people do is just use bid bots for the foolish thing they are posting about; I referred to a guy who was top of the trending page talking about eating fast food in an expensive car. What the heck is that crap doing at the top of trending other than the reason a lame bidbot was used? I understand where some, and only a very select few, would like to use bidbots and vote buying such as when they are promoting a new feature of a Steemit related app or extension, it’s grear to have the bots to bid that to the top of trending so everyone can see it and the promoters get paid for doing it.
The foolish content that ends up on trending is quite frustrating though and it may be tedious to create content but nothing life is easy, if it were then lots would be different. We all have to work hard and do things that may not excite us but it eventually does bring happiness if you look at it in the right perspective.
