Bots are not bad, people who uses bots for greed are making them bad...
I make bots, they help me help...
I have an run a vote trail (I vote last to give the rewards to those who have less SP a chance to get their share)
It doesn't encourage reading what i vote for, but frees the minnows time to post and read other's post, when my trail votes they give together around 25 cents (much more than the 0.001 a single minnow vote gives)
You post to receive, you vote to give.
Engagement is important to build human links! And this network is a tool to go beyond human greed and to share ideas and help or get help.
I very much agree with you @nnnarvaez,
I honestly just knew that it can be beneficial to use some bots. There is something to learn everyday on Steemit. I also do use bots on my posts to give them more exposure. After all I write from my heart and would like to share it with other people.
Since I keep my human interaction as maximum as I can, I don't feel bad to gain a little bit extra from bot votes. Every little bit that helps me grow, will only make me stronger and enable me to help others even more.
Thank you very much for the reply and for engaging me in the discussion :D
