I expect to be flagged because there are a lot of crusaders fighting for the purity of manual curation. I appreciate that fight and am alright with there being flaggers. There needs to be flaggers when you can write garbage and spend $500 on vote bots. It will be an interesting test though.
And yes... vote bots don't guarantee you to profit. They do seem like a better way to use your SBD than trading it for BTC or straight up for steem from an investors perspective.
