I myself see it like this. Bots belong to someone who has spent capital to enrich themselves. Imagine many people sending them SBD / steem regardless of the quality of the content. Shameful, or qualified, they do not care about it, provided that the payout is sufficient according to the standards they have set.
also, in my opinion, bots have damaged the reputation of the content, it should not be useful content is not in the tranding topic, but because of the work of bots that provide full SP power so that in a short time post is in the hot topic category.
Bots just make some lazy steemians use their creativity. lazy to create long-term content. Aplagi expect quality. No, bot users, generally do not care about the quality of their content.
it's me.
