We work together as a community to help eachother gain more exposure and votes. Some of the members on Shadowbot are boosters that don't post much or at all and just seemt to earn more from curation rewards boosting others. Some of my biggest rewards came from @grandpawhale and he never made a single post!
I still don't get it. I'd be willing to bet that with all the votes on this post, you gained very little exposure. Steemit is supposed to about content creation, commenting, and curation that supports good content. Explain to me just how a bot rates a post good enough to deserve an upvote? Bots are designed to scam the system and provide short-cut earnings. Nothing more in my book. IMO of course.
And yet I have over 10x more SP in my account than you so look who is talking to who about "supporting" steemit ;)
480.768 STEEM vs 5,246.152 STEEM right I don't believe in the "true essence" of steemit..
It isn't.. By no means is it.. I just was simply pointing out that you make it seem like I am NOT in it for the average steemian when I power up almost always 100% and have a decent amount of SP and don't up vote myself and always up vote others (up voted you too).. If it came off as an attack I appologize, Just was trying to make it clear I am not some leach here!
Sorry if I put you on the offensive. I'm just not a big fan of bots (Ponzi comes to mind). And I have no problem with paying for promotion, although it has never been profitable for me, that is a different animal. And I too also upvoted your post.
ShadowBot was different I agree with the concept it prioritizes good authors over bad and still allows for the "human touch" with manual up voting being encouraged! I love steemit, seeing it fail would cost me a huge investment of time and money as well as the ultimate dream I see with how big this could be one day! Decentralized information is one of the 3 pillars of freedom!
Yeah I don't make money off promoting honestly I just get more eyeballs and followers which over time makes me more money. It is an investment (that is how I got over 1k followers in less than 4 months while many over a year can't break 250).
I have 1355 followers and @ShadowBot is a big help. Check it out it's free for everyone to use!
So tell me exactly... What good are all the bot votes?

I don't self up vote either, I reserve 100% of my power for others!
