Hello. Currently there are a lot of curation groups and whales curating amazing content, there's no need to buy votes. The downvote you received is to discourage the buying of votes from bidbots. We kindly invite you to join us on the #NewSteem attitude, where good content receives votes and the organic content get the most attention. Buying votes hurts you, other authors and the Steem Ecosystem in general, please don't do it.
Wow, didn't realize there was such a crackdown. I've only used them in the past to get the work in front of an audience, and no more than 2 bots at no more than 2 Steem spent for any one post. This post, I used 1. It's a good thing that they are being discouraged,... my only concern is that without them, I would receive about 1 or 2 dollars a post and be seen by 92 followers and a few others that happen onto it. Better than the 12 cents a post I started with, but..... However, in order to help the community, I will refrain from bot use. Thanks for the explanation.... thought I had somehow ticked someone off with the image. All the best....
