The controversial question on Steemit. Should you be using a bot to vote for you? Or does that defeat the purpose of the social network? Isn't the whole point of Steemit to read content and then manually upvote it if you like it?
Why Would I Use A Bot To Vote For Me?
👫 Support your friends: 👯 I agree that part of the fun of Steemit is being able to go through your feed, get lost down a rabbit hole and discover new people and fresh content that you want to upvote. It is also nice to be able to check in with your Steemit friends whose content you know you enjoy and read their stuff. But sometimes, I don't realise that my friends have posted, or I am busy with work, or life and then 2 days have passed and I realise that my friends have written a great post that I didn't even see!
💯 Boost your curation rewards: 💸 You make money from upvoting on other peoples posts, not just on writing your own content. So you may as well make the most curation rewards you can each day. Having a bot to vote on your friends content that you know you will enjoy anyway, allows you to earn curation rewards effortlessly when you may be tied up elsewhere in life.
Which Bots Can I Use To Auto-Vote For Me?
1. Streemian
Streemian is an awesome tool, that you can use to automatically upvote on your favourite authors posts, follow curation trails and schedule posts to ensure the maximum amount of views.
One thing that I love about Streemian is that you can also use it to set up notifcations for when your favourite authors make a new post, like this:
So that Streemian can email me like this so I get a little nudge to go and check out my favourite people's posts:
With not quite as many features as Streemian, but a much simpler process for account set-up, Steemvoter is still a simple and easy way to choose people you support to upvote consistently.
I think that these options are great for supporting friends, or fellow team mates if you are in a group or team here on Steemit! I like to use Streemian though because it sends me notifications to read my favourite author's posts, and that way I can make sure I read the content I like and can go and comment on their stuff! I also still love to randomly browse through Steemit, find new people everyday and upvote new content if I like it!
How do you guys prefer to upvote? Manual? Automatic? or a mix of both? Let me know in the comments! 😍
