Thank you - after enjoying such a good post I felt I most draft a quality comment.
I know personally someone working for minnowbooster, and I know they try really hard to be moral and fair.
I'm not sure what I think about the bots phenomenon - I didn't check it but I think that even if a post enters the trending page - most of the votes it will get will be dust votes from inexperienced users that will not upgrade his payments by much - so unless the revenue you get for buying votes is lucrative by itself - I'm not sure how important it is.
Maybe it makes the post view-able to some whales so they read it and upvote it if they like it, but that's completely fine with me - they will upvote it only if it's worth it.
I am pretty sure I miss something, otherwise the bots wouldn't be so popular - but I'm not sure what.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I use bots for when I am away from my computer. I have a list of people that need support, the new users that I brought on board, and lists of people that have supported me in the past. I am sure that I would vote on them if I were able. If I can't, the bots do the voting for me.
Why?
Because any large account sitting idle is a wasted investment. If I leave for the day and forget to turn on my bots, I will come home and see my accounts at 100% voting power and my friends lacking the support they were hoping for. If I am gone for more than a week, it may be enough time for some of the new users to become discouraged.
From my perspecive - if I am absent for a long time, I earn nothing in curation rewards.
Thanks for your support..It is encouraging.
