Well i must first admit, that i am a 'user' of the bots here on steemit. In the olden days you can see posts earning 800 dollars and more, containing a short video. This is not achievable nowadays (and nor should it be) but there are more bots around to help boost reputation and funds.
Although i agree with @personz, I think that bots are necessary evil for new users to gain reputation - @treeplanter being the most ethical.

Thanks for your reaction. I still do not know how to look at this issue. I really like the idea of money making machine for objectively good propose. I found my own absolutely inevitable. If humans want to survive we need a forest. I hope there is already no doubt about it. Unfortunately, people still don't understand why we need to plant trees. There is still not enough effort, funding, conviction to restore our precious forest. So my motto **Plant tree and get paid for it" sounds like a miracle for our planet. Currently, this is probably the only way how to save future of forests. Personally and technically I do not like the idea of money making machine (paying for votes) as well and understand the criticism. But still, believe that it is great opportunity to help to save and restore our forests. On the other hand, it doesn't mean we are just sitting and waiting for the money to come without any effort. We are reporting and going to report even more about every single aspect of our conservation program to make it 100% transparent.
Nice day.
If it weren't for bitcoin it would be the money creation institutions doing it and it seems like less of a waste to award miners instead and even less of a waste to reward bloggers
Hey, thanks for the reply.
Do you have any figures/numbers on how much of the $.50 price goes to planting a tree. I know the @treeplanter message gives some details of how many trees you planted, but what is the % of the money that goes towards planting? (and how much do you take)
I think TP is the most ethical of all the bots, and I feel it to be a worthy cause - vote-buying or not.

Exactly half of donations go to tree planting (0.25 out of .5$) and other conservation activities in Abongphen Highland Forest. The second half goes to power me up so I will not need in future people's delegated Steem Power and will be able to plant more and more trees every day.
Thanks for the information. I think that's totally fair and will continue to support 😁👍🏾
