All these are plausible...
I guess there need to be some restrictions when it comes to things that are not fundamental to steemit.
Buying of votes is not align with the original framework of steemit. I use the bots every now and then. But it does not make sense when it start to overthrow the sense in contributing value to the blockchain.
All these will create another impression in the eyes of the 'outsiders' - another ponzi scheme? (Or what would you call getting some much money from posting pictures). It will also mislead a lot of new users.
I am having a very poor network that would not load the pictures.
Thank you for voicing this loud.
Yeah exactly it makes us look like douchebags... why even try on a post when you can just create steem with the click of a button on a bot, It will loose its legitimacy and value really quick if this continues...
