Thank you @bylecoleman. Currently I am not looking into creating a bot, but I would like to know why they are such a huge topic on Steemit and how it can affect me and if it will cost me anything.

There are more and more bots on Steemit everyday, they will affect everyone, mostly by adding tons of spam. But there are good ones too. You learn about them as you go.

Blessings!

I suppose I have to do some research then. Thanks for the info. And abundant blessings to you too!
