Yes, it's mostly bots and automated replies, but there are some humans here too and they deserve much credit.
A wise Steemian once said
That engagement is the key to success on on the Steem Blockchain. In my opinion however, this is only partly true and this depends on a few things, which include:
- How early you got here (Check the lack of engagement on the consistently highly paid authors)
- How awesome and unique your content is in the eyes of the Whales (they are generally aiming for the best to promote Steemit to the world)
- How many followers you bring from other social media (no comment)
- And how big your SP balance is (Low SP, no circle jerky + paid promotion for you)
If, like many of us, you arrived in the past year, produce decent but not world beating content, didn't bring 100,000 YouTube subscribers, and don't have 100,000 USD or more to invest, then it is likely that you are currently taking the slow Steem train to your desired destination.
This is fine, isn't it? Expect nothing and if you start there then anything else is a bonus, right?
I accept the above, this is how it is - lots of people, lots of content, not that many sizable votes going around.
And so for the majority, one of the key elements in obtaining your goals faster is your level of engagement.
Steemit.com agree also. What was once 'Money Talks', has now thankfully changed to:
'Money Talks', I'm so glad that's been changed, sheeesh!
And so, with that being said, who's actually trying to make their voice worth something?
The top 201 commentators in 2018
Are a bunch of ****ing bots!
Ok that's not totally true as we shall see in a moment, but the majority of accounts on this list do produce automated replies and content.
The jury is out as to just how much of this content is just wasting Block space and serving little purpose - although that could be said of some of my content at times too :p

I'm happy that I do!
Hello friends, #stewardsofgondor, writers of epic comments, and people who already have some of my Steem Power delegated to them - I count 4 of you :D :D :D :D
Stay awesome!
Comments/Questions
Does the list worry you?
Do you think if I run this query again in 6 months time it will be without 'human' accounts?
Thanks for your time
EDIT: Post 'promoted' so more people see the excellent people below.
