So is this filtration actually on the cards or is it just wishful thinking? 

I mean as things stand bid bot voting probably won't cause the platform to collapse altogether, it's more likely just to result in a wildly fluctuating price of steem as the capitalists variously follow each other in out of steemit as the ROI dips and rises and dips again, rather than it just being a a steadier increase if bot returns were 'invisiblized' (or  just got rid of altogether). 

However, don't the anarcho-capitalists who run this platform (please pause to appreciate the oxymoron there) relish that sort of instability - because in post-modern capitalism, capitalists make their money from boom-bust cycles, leaving the 99% reeling in the wake of the chaos they cause. And as you say, such people don't give a shit about us.

So do they have any motivation to change anything? In their eyes Steem fluctuating is opportunity, not a problem. Despite the re-branding, money talks after all. 

Filtering out bot voted posts would be welcome addition for sure, although I effectively filter out everything by just never visiting the trending pages, so that's not a problem in my eyes anyway. 

I was wondering where the 'human' etc. bubbles had come from... good old SteemPlus, cracking add on that one!

It could be coded in to an interface today, but will be easier I think when the HiveMind features are released for the deleopers of the tools we view the Blockchain with.

You are right with the money men loving the cycles, it's always been a great way to create more profit - especially if you can cause the swings yourselves.

Filtering, or just staying away from trending, is ok for our eyes, but the bots were up to around 30 million SP, the last time I looked.  They use all this, 10x a day, with total efficiency, on a lot of garbage - garbage that in some cases is being produced by bot owners.  This ain't right!

Holy crap, 30 million SP... that's unreal.

There's a lot of stuff I still need to think through about this platform. Thankfully for me it's currently still very much philosophical as only 1.1% of Feb-March income came from Steemit. 

Although it'll matter more once that % jumps when I quit work.

It is wrong. But what can we actually do about it?

Yeah I tried to have a look at the numbers here: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@abh12345/how-much-available-sp-is-there-for-steemit-com-content

What can we do? Umm, good question.  It's for the big boys to change, I'm not sure we can do much in the short term apart from talk!
