ok, this is a sensitive topic and I guess everyone has an opinion and there will never be a perfect solution to this...
Here is my take, I have 2 account @felander and @photolander, so basically one for blogging and one for pictures (always with a bit of text)
and I will admit I use minnowbooster and used randowhale (before berny sank it to the bottom of the ocean) and I am not really ashamed of this
I think of myself that I write reasonably well and that my content is all my own (exept from the first few weeks where I was finding my way and reading all I could about steem and steemit) almost 4 months ago now.
And it was hard to get noticed, some articles did but most didnt and then I started using the bots and the amount of followers grew faster as did the rewards and I have been using them ever since. For me this is part of steem just as reading and writing posts and commenting. I guess when I get to a point where my reputation warrants a reasonable amount of return I would not use them either and indeed plan to stop but this time is not yet there.
I see the bot upvote buying as an investment but in little bits instead of buying a big amount of SP and powering up, for me this is kind of the same
i hope this makes a bit of sense
