RE: Vilifying Bots

in #steemit8 years ago

What is the purpose of a bot?
Do you get "bonuses" for randomly upvoting posts?
I have also noticed on most of my posts, almost as soon as they have been posted, there is a downvote marked against it. Im assuming these are bots also. Why are there bots to downvote posts?
Are they "Recommend a friend" bots, whose only purpose is to seem active so the bot owner (or referrer) gets some kind of RAF bonus?
The whole bots scenario confuses me.
