This whole "fight the bots" thing is beneficial to all authors and creators who post and want actual votes.
I gave up vote bots 11 months ago, and self voting 9 months ago.
And while I haven't posted too too much since then,
what I have posted is original content which for the most part
takes HOURS upon HOURS to create!
Hope to make the whitelist some day as you'll see my content
is original and worthy of a vote! :)
