As part of my contest series:
"Steem Decathlon #1 D2E02 "Baby Needs a new pair of Shoes!" - Theme - 'Politics" - Fake News Quiz...iceberg tip."
I bid it up with bidbots to give the results of the upvotes as a rewards pool to my contest participants....And to get the word out....
I'm not taking the money it's being distributed....
Plus it is my decision to spend the money and for what purposes is my decision, whether it is long term sustainable is not an issue. And issues with the SteemIt platform not really curating/classifying and lack of capabilities/functionality are much bigger impediments to the platform.
I have great ideas for bots that would enrich the community if you want to actually put your talents to better work.
Want to collaborate.
Labeling someone with a big posting giving the impression by implication they are doing something by using bots vs. paying directly to put on the promote page is blatantly wrong....
And by using a bot and asking for remuneration to accomplish this is the height of hypocracy.
You have a problem with something than hand curate it.
