I'll elaborate more on another post, but to summarize I think that when a bot is used to help others, then it is a good bot... as long as those others are genuine people who create original content and contribute to the platform. I use a voting bot tied to my account to upvote posts of all the accounts I follow. I can't be on Steemit as much lately, but still want the rewards I can give to go to those who have proven to me they're quality creators. My vote bot votes as a lowered percentage to spread the votes out as best it can. When I come across a post I really like, I'll re-vote at 100% (if the bot already voted) to give as much to the creator as I can.

I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond. Thanks @everittdmickey
