Thanks, for taking care about ethics on Hive, but unfortunately you didn“t see the full picture!
First of all, I do not "only" vote my bot, I voted and supported hundreds of new and old users over the last years. What did you so far for Hive? Did you ever invest a penny? Also, it is not true that the bot has no value. It shows e.g. what happened in the last 24h by using the command !stayout.bot -new.
By this I one can find new users and posts like this one š
Secondly, the bot was downvoted massively to a reputation of minus, because one user did not like the welcome messages. I removed those and upvoted the bot again to keep it“s reputation in the plus zone and to ensure it“s visibility (if rep is minus, a user/comment is not shown by default).
Finally, any rewards will be burned by sending them to , despite the server costs. Partial powerdown started to burn some more, I keep a rest to have enough RC for doing comments.
So, you maybe better overthink all your accusations about greediness, because I have taken zero profits from those upvotes.
