Congrats on the year and good work on sticking to your principles when it comes to voting etc. I've been on here a week and have already seen many posts about using bots to manipulate posts, irrespective of the quality of the content. I feel like the platform will benefit much more from your type of approach and will certainly look to follow suit when it comes to curation standards. Here's to the next year! 🎉

Yes, there's quite a debate going on the use of bots and auto-voting and while I don't use them I know some great people who do a lot of good using them to spread more rewards to more people. Personally, I don't think it's black/white or good/evil, a lot of times people autovote because there's just not enough time in the day to read all of your favorite authors. Anyways, don't be discouraged by the bots...for new comers I highly recommend joining a community such as the Minnow Support Project. Thanks for taking the time to comment, cheers.
Thanks for replying @v4vapid, that's great advice. I guess the posts that are more critical of the bots tend to get more attention (or at least from what I've seen), so I'll keep an open mind. I haven't got involved in the Minnow Support Project so will definitely check it out.
Thanks again!
