@my-permaculture THanks for the link to post by @theferalone. I will read that next. I agree that the work it takes to use bots could be better used building community and engaging in the steem platform.
I also agree that buying some steem to boost yourself while also supporting the platform is very smart. I bought a bit before the last big jump, but now, at $6.00, it is quite expensive. Hoping for a temporary drop to get some more. Wonder if it will ever come!
