I can understand why people wouldn't want to talk about using bots from the reasons you explained but It would be nice to hear some peoples experience with buying votes or being the seller to just hear how they found the process.
Ye I also noticed that people seem to waste their money paying for a resteem because it doesn't grantee anything.
Thanks for the resteem and letting me know about the tag, hopefully I can find someone willing to talk about their experiences with buying/selling votes.
