I was facing this problem but this
is a genius, bots are part of the game and while some people "hunting" and downvotes steemit user for using bots they not understanding that the only thing they do is hurting the community and not helping
when downvoting someone who is not a whale it's hurting new user to develop their self on steemit why? because they probably can't downvote a whale and the only thing it creates is that regular users or newbies who deed some earning from their posts and want to promote their self a little( this just part of the game) getting down lower and lower in the list while whales are getting on top of the list because they have huge steempower
and those "hunters" not affecting them, they keeping using bots while newbies and other steemit authors
get their earning taking away from them because using bots.
so eventually we will see only whales on trending lists and hot section
like you said it's just a promoting your self
Some people like to just be police around here.
I just decided to be transparent about it.
I have a product and I choose to advertise it using tools that are available to absolutely everyone.
There's nothing rigged about it.
the problem is that they do not even look at your content they are bots that downvote bots it's stupid, you do a lot of hard work in your content at least take a look and value before downvoting, I guess you right some people love to feel they have a power in their hands
I don't mind....I can return the favor...I know how to blindly flag too
