Using that Steembottracker site makes things easy. As far as I can tell, using at least 6 bots will guarantee some sort of ROI that makes it worth while.
That being said, I only have so many hours n the day and I really do want to engage with the community. Even though I like playing with numbers, I would rather be finding good content and meeting people, as opposed to booping around with the bots!
And I agree, the randowhale things was really lame and makes me pretty angry!
