This is interesting... disturbing, but interesting... so basically most of the money of the posts go to bots in most cases?, I don't want to believe this, I really don't. I want to believe that there are more people that want to write quality content and get appreciation for that content. Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I'm a dreamer, but the fact is that if we don't improve the platform ourselves no one will do it for us. If many trolls and bad users started using these bots and upvote themselves and their bad posts, eventually steemit will become useless and people will abandon this sinking ship. This is a good post, you're saying people won't give this post the attention it deserves if you don't use a upvoting bot?, that's sad and very bad, I'd like to keep true to myself and post only high quality content and trust the community... if the community doesn't notice me or I get 0 attention, then I got no else to blame but myself... I'd like to believe that hardworking trumps upvoting bots... I'm pretty sure I'm just a dreamer.
