hello, I follow you since I saw a comment you made in a publication of @cryptoeater that is my friend. I agree with you that the use of bot should be avoided. steemit is an intelligent network and you will receive support from certain bots without asking, such as @ hr1 or others who always support, it would be interesting to know their programming because in my opinion they are a great contribution to the minnionws. I use bots in cases where I do not have sp to reward a publication, that seems a good idea to support. Other services like @restemeable are free and good in my opinion. but I am a supporter of human interaction and in that I give you the reason. I also recommend the use of @lovejuice and @adriatik when we do not have sp to support a publication that we like, from my point of view I think it's a good idea bro. thanks for such good content. and I apologize if my English seems bad, I know a little bit of English but I support myself using the google translator to communicate with you.
I wish you a happy day and a better life

Yeah there are still plenty of manual curators out there - but the bots are making it hard for minnows - hard but not impossible! As far as I know @hr1 isnt a bot, just a manual curator but I could be wrong!
For me human interaction is the core of Steemit and the only way it will flourish..
Thanks for the awesome comment :)
