No prob @erodedthoughts. It's a great initiative. I hope this money goes to people in need.

Also, why do you upvote the bot? :P

I upvoted them to show the community support from the users who bought the votes.

Oh ok. I bought the vote :P But I don't think tipu bot needs an upvote lol.

@tipu bot actually does tremendously good work on its own as well! I don't think its owner takes much from it (@cardboard), and he uses proceeds to develop a community account that helps users, as well as buying SBI shares for people ...and steemmonsters. Everybody seems to love steemmonsters. Can't wait until it's actually a game to play! Full disclosure, I'm a delegator to @tipu because I like how it does what it does!

Voluntary votes on them is better than the bot owners bid their own bots' comments. It's actually obnoxious.

Nothing is voluntary here. I paid for the vote!

Right, and then the bot did its job, and then someone voluntarily upvoted it for doing its job!

Right...? @tipu and @cardboard didn't upvote @tipu just now, the vote recipient did.

I think you don't understand how it works. I paid tipu with MY SBD to vote on erodedthoughts post. Tipu didn't do anything on this particular post. But yes, I guess you can vote on a bot...
