Now on a more serious note, there are a lot of people on steemit that are against vote bots. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I personally don't have an issue with them. I totally agree that is sucks you have to use vote bots for real exposure on steemit, but downvoting steemeans that use vote bots with legit posts is just counterproductive. Its just spreads toxicity and confrontation in the community. I was recently in a confrontation with Hive account@beanz over downvoting me. Normally I wouldn't care, but beanz has 50,000+ SP. The thing she doesn't realize is, the vote bots aren't profitable. The profit comes from whether or not steemeans upvote you after it Trends. If you vote bot a crappy posts to trending, you will lose SBD. On top of that I give away SBD to you guys in contests. Beanz took away SBD that I would normally be used in a contest just because she doesn't like voting bots. So now, I have to exchange my personal money to try and get these posts visible. Then wait a week and hope that I didn't lose SBD. I understand the frustration, but you could have given 8 minnows an upvote worth $20+ USD each instead! Save downvotes for Spam! Spread Upvotes to the community instead. Full disclosure I called Hive account@beanz something I shouldn't have, but it honestly felt like they came in my home and stole money from my wallet. Here's an idea, help make Promoted worth it and then the bots go out of business.

Is CryptoPuppies in Trouble?

CryptoPuppies.org hasn't been receiving much attention from the gaming community. I'm pretty sure they stopped spawning Gen-0's. I think they are learning that CryptoKitties did a better job than people give them credit for. Also, CryptoPuppies.org may just be a casualty of being late to market. They do have one Ace up their sleeve....Mini-Games. They promise to have mini-games you can play with your puppy. The first of these is coming soon. I think this will be the true test as to whether CryptoPuppies.org will survive or not.
