I am not assuming this. This is another type of investment. Whales, like everyone else have a limited voting power per day. They have made these auto votes to reward creators of good content and I have seen people have whale bots removed. Also if you look at @smooth or @berniesanders (both of who have voted for me and I am not on their bot list if they have one) you could see that they spend time engaging with others. Some whales have a bot and then at the end of the day read over the content. It's simply a different type of investment.
While I would hope that my content gets read, I would be happy to have created content that is deemed good enough to be put on the bot list. Check @sirwinchester. He didn't start with any bots on him and he made a big splash. I'm happy making the content I wish to and getting rewarded. I don't cater to any one audience and if that makes it so I am not on an auto bot list so be it.
I love the community more than the money here.
Yeah i'm a huge fan of smooth and bernie, they both engage and communicate, plus I'm pretty sure smooth is a huge video game fan which is totally right in congruence with myself. Smooth is probably my favorite whale not gonna lie.
