Now this is one service that behaves in one of the ugliest way in the dog-eats-dog scenario.
Using others for climbing purpose, and then literally squashed them.
This has nothing to do with bots as some has mentioned "destroy all bots" here; it has everything to do with the mindset and the heart of the owner of that account that has executed really bad business practice.
I personally liked using the bots especially when I run out of VP and I want to bless someone who's post is worthy of a good upvote, and occasionally I use that service for myself (not the accused service) so that I can gather a little more and pay it forward later.
I do not see it is wrong when one needs a little help in financial help without abusing the system, which unfortunately, not only this particular "competitor" is doing, there are a HUGE group of minnows are doing the same with totally horrible content.
Maybe if the services have a better underlining rules to offer their services (like for those that only upvote 1 account once a day), people are less abusive.
Bottom line, again and again, it is the issue of the human heart. You can literally see the personality of the service / whoever use them.
Since this is a non paying post, I won't waste my upvote, and I will just resteem it @mooncryption
Of course! Your resteem was appreciated :)
You're right, one of the sickest things is that this user took advantage of the bots, then flagged them. If the bots had feelings, they would be pretty mad, and I'm sure if the owners of the bots knew about this they'd be pretty mad as well.
