"I have never used a bot, and I read every post I upvote."
THANK YOU! My vote power is pfft now so tip!
I am not so offended by the person who got in a twist, this site is overwhelming. You will see people call it a "meritocracy" which leads one to think that if you put in some hard work you will be rewarded. Trouble is this is NOT a meritocracy, not a pure one. Anyway, I am following you BECAUSE you do not use bots. I appreciate that more than words can say. Vote = curation and the bots do NOT read a word they upvote.

Learning to drive a car is "overwhelming". Learning to play a guitar is "overwhelming". Learning to speak a foreign language is "overwhelming".
You don't earn a lot of money as a top race car driver the second day you take a driving lesson. You don't make money as a performance musician, or a studio musician, the second day you start doing a couple of chords. You don't earn money as a translator the second day you start learning a foreign language
I have spent thousands of hours learning crypto, making contacts, posting, commenting, and investing in steem when everyone else was pulling money out hand over fist when prices were dropping.
"My vote power is pfft now so tip!"
Yeah, right. That's a good reason to use up my voting power in your humble opinion?
Not sure how you got into a twist over my not being offended... But OK. I did not say he was justified or correct, just that I understand. I did not ask you to do anything with your upvoting power, I dropped a tip on you because my vote is not worth very much. Do you not understand that the 0.1 SBD you were gifted below came from me? I was not asking, I was giving. You are very welcome and I promise I won't make that mistake again! Unfollowed just that fast!
I read it as you have very little voting power so I should tip you. You did not say "so here's a tip", you said "so tip!" which sounded like an order to me.
Yeah... that is how you call the tipu service. It says right in the box that I GAVE you a tip. You strike me as the kind of person who is LOOKING for excuses to be offended. I am sure you will be wildly successful on that endeavor.
I read your comment. I did not read the bot (until after I responded to you). Your comment says:
"I have never used a bot, and I read every post I upvote."

I don't know if we are working towards the same end or not. I want to point out the adverse effects of bots whereas you, despite having apparently lauded me for NOT using them, seem to be making use of them yourself.
tipu only gives a tip when I read and approve the comment. Congratulations, I am muting you now too. Feel free to continue this pointless arguement without me!
OK, you can have the high ground :-)
It was my mistake. I misunderstood your statement "so tip", possibly because of being oversensitive from getting 50 to 100 private messages a day asking for something from me.
I have in the past downvoted tipping bots, and I probably will in the future too. Since this isn't my post, I will leave it. But I do downvote tipping bots that show up on my post, because all they are doing is using my blog for advertising their service without having read or contributed to the conversation.
Since you may consider that to be having my knickers in a knot, I will not be offended if you put me back on mute. I'll just upvote your above comment first so you haven'y wasted your 0.1SBD tip.
Unmuted to TRY to get you to unwind your knickers. That statement of "I have never used a bot" was in quotations. I was QUOTING you, not making that claim for myself. The "bot" you are objecting to me using does not take a DIME from the reward pool, that came out of MY WALLET. I tried to give you a gift... You are SO anxious to have the high moral ground that you are unkind to people giving you gifts. Nicely played.
