When i first joined the platform, that is what confused me at first. Earning money on steemit looked super easy, as one needs to share some crap and the votes start coming in.
Even now there are plenty such posts, where users share utter junk and it shows on the hot or trending page in some tags. But at least now i know its bitbots. I think steemhunt is going down the same route, and so will other tools built on steem, unless this issue is sorted early.
Agreed. I'll say this much in regards to steemhunt, at least it allegedly requires users to formulate an opinion about the thing they are advertising or whatever they want to call it. This dlike shit is literally useless and drives traffic away from the STEEM blockchain... I seriously can't grasp how this is adding any value to the platform.
I have never actually gone and opened posts with dlike tag or tried it myself but will see a few to actually see what you're saying. It seems totally useless from what you've stated in your post.
