Thanks for the added explanation and I understand what you are saying. For now I'll stay on the sidelines and see what others think. I am using the bots because they are here, they are not breaking any current steemit rules, and they are helping me to get a good start. But personally I think that all of the upvote bots should be eliminated and only approved information bots should be allowed.
I appreciate what you and others are trying to do and if I were smart enough I would probably be doing the same thing, I also am thankful for the much needed boost that I'm getting from the upvote bots. But I do think that they hurt the overall spirit of what Steemit should be and turn the focus more towards the money side and not towards the creation side where it rightfully should be. I would not be against the elimination of the ability to self upvote also for the same reasons.
So I'm not trying to completely condemn what you are doing and if there are no rules against it then i wish you well with it. But I'm barely comfortable using the upvote bots themselves because I have seen some negative comments about them, and I would be even more uncomfortable using your service.
The right way to decide these things is through the governing process. If something is hurting Steemit or is causing people difficulty or grief then it should be corrected with rule and or software changes and corrections. As long as there are no rules against something and no one is directly injured by it, then I'm not going to hold it against anyone who takes advantage of an opportunity.
Thank you for your understanding.
