Yes, lots of bots running amok harvesting through volume. The devs are actively making life hard for bots, but there are whale bots. With the ROI on SP and vote harvesting I expect to see a lot of big money moving in and setting more and more bots. Hopefully the devs will keep fighting the good fight for us humans. Thanks for your comment!

i hope so...i watch these post and voting patterns all day.
The bots are here and more to come...After reading your post, shut down my bot. At my current SP level, I would make more doing what I like to do by simply curating with discussion.
This was my original gameplan. So im back to it. I have more fun doing it.
Thanks for the post
Wow, that's great to hear! I was machine-gunning curation for the first couple weeks but now I'm finding that being more selective is a much better approach - more fun, more interesting and more profitable. I'm not sure what to think about bots - if there were bots that could find unrecognized gems and dig them up I'd be all for it. But bots that are just trying to harvest via mass voting seem parasitic. Will be really interesting to see what happens when the big boys show up....
Isn't it interesting that once the initial 'mania' has worn off, what settles in is just a desire to contribute to the community properly? Which then incidentally provides a reward. It's a perfect example of excellent game design actually.
Yes, it is fascinating. I'm in this weird place where I could be writing but all I want to do is curate and comment. Making way less than I could but enjoying myself so much I can't stop. It's crazy!
