Yes I think they are, and do turn away from bot voted posts.
You could stick a vote on the post a few days in when the interested has faded though?

Yeah, i do think that could be an idea, but then that's obviously not something that the bot owners want as it would reduce their potential curation rewards. For the person who spends time posting good quality content and gets very little reward (which is, unfortunately, the inherent nature of Steemit), I don't really have an issue with them using a bot to get a few extra cents for their efforts. I just worry about the demise of curation, which could in turn, send this platform into a self perpetuating cacophony of bot upvoters as people struggle to get even the slightest reward for their posts..
Yes, curation is key to the long term health of the platform.
Luckily we have @curie, @ocd, @muxxybot, and some kind users willing to gift delegated Steem Power to people who are willing to curate 'for them'.
cheers!
Yeah, i'm pretty sure if it was for @curie then i wouldn't be here any more. I'm sure that there are lots of people with great talent who we can't say the same for unfortunately.
< never had a curie vote. Not that I think i deserved one.
Agreed though. It really is a case of all hands on deck for the curation cause.
