> I come with a pragmatic proposal: in order to preserve the value of Trending and combat poor quality posts, **let's use the bid bots to flood Trending with GOOD posts!** Let's beat the shitposters at their own game! It's not merely about the value of Trending. You are missing the profound implication towards distribution especially the damned bots that promise ROI. If only it were about mere promotion. It's like trying to treat cancer but only treating only outwardly manifesting symptoms while ignoring the inward spread of the tumorous growth. One day we build a solution, [@sorin.cristescu](https://steemit.com/@sorin.cristescu). The vision that realizes and gives proof-of-brain the reverence it deserves and supplants the treachery of proof-of-wallet. I will not forego principle and empower them. I will grind away in even if in relative obscurity to the vote buyers making connections with PEOPLE. Then, if all else fails, then comes the exodus. I would prefer rather creating a complementary side chain but it has to be designed to empower those that demonstrate allegiance to aforementioned principles. (Incorrigible) vote buyers and sellers will have their day of reckoning. I am a dogged son of a gun and will see it through. It may be years from now but, as long as I have breath in my lungs, I will work towards that goal.

I agree with you. I'm not missing the implications at all. I'm just looking at it pragmatically. As per you analogy, if you cancer gives you incredible pains of course you should try to treat the causes. But while you are working on a treatment of the causes, it's still better to take a painkiller to treat the pain! While waiting for the solution to the moral rot which bots illustrate, let's take care of the symptom. Posted using [Partiko Android](https://steemit.com/@partiko-android)
