I exemplify that truth. I have never used a bot intentionally. I intend never to do so, at least not for votes.
Yet, I recognize that they infest Steemit. People use them for reasons, the median payout on Steemit is $.01, and this drives people to seek upvotes from bots.
This drives profits into the coffers of SP delegators, and is a net negative to the platform - and Steem - but that doesn't relieve scammers like @zeartul of his personal responsibility for their frauds.
People have a right to seek redress, and they will do so, regardless of our opinions. It's gonna happen.
It's not wrong, either.
