I'm terrible at selling myself, I hate it, but maybe that's an issue I need to get over and maybe for this one particular time I will suspend such idiotic tendencies.
I'm not attempting to get fulltimebot support for me however, maybe more for the initiative we started @helpie - Which is a tool designed to educate minnows and plankton - a way to teach them to think long term, to understand the potential of steem and the power of community.
It's designed for that purpose and it's grown into a curation initiative, and a mentorship program.
Honestly, I would not mind explaining everything to you on chat.
Thank you for the comment @meno ... I will surely check out your work and the @helpie project you mentioned.
For what it's worth, I appreciate mr @meno and his community orientated approach. @steemcommunity supports @helpie where possible :)
I recently entered the @helpie community on @meno's invite and am super impressed with what he has built there! One of the most active Discord chatrooms I've ever seen, with a lot if community leaders present to help, support and grow the 'little Steemians'. I'd certainly love to see some of your botty awesomeness go to the @helpie project.
Mr.Roboto in this bitch!
Hey man, I appreciate that. Thanks for explaining. Your logic is sound. It does feel like a win and your reasons for curating in this fashion make sense. It is nice to see votes trickle in but any form of curation means a lot, no matter when it happens.
Someone saw those votes and asked in private where they have to go to pay for that bot LOL! I couldn't even explain why it was happening... "They just show up. I don't know what's going on!" They didn't believe me, so at least now we got answers. Thanks!
Lol, God forbid I ever start doing that. I consider vote selling a mild form of prostitution and abhor the idea. I personally must like the content to give it my vote(s).
I'm glad this video demystified a lot of your questions :)
btw friend, if may I direct your attention to this idea - I happen to like it a lot, and Im poking holes on it, but it's mostly good.
Meaning that we could count on predictable behaviors to make this work, being greedy one of them.
I won't attempt to explain it here in a comment, but like you, I'm trying to do my best to rid the platform of the skewed concept of "quality".
I like to compare them to crack cocaine since they seem to doing a fine job of destroying certain neighborhoods.
I am in Florida. A good looking younger like you could clean up around here. Lots of widowed women with fat bank accounts who need a bit of companionship. 😀
Of course, they will soon have a bot for that too.
It Sure Is!!! Thanks For Sharing!! You've got a new follower!! Hey You got a minute? CLICK on this link, enter your e-mail, and then watch the video!!
http://www.winwithroberthollis.com/pjcswart
That minute will cost you. Please don't spam. Thank you.
How much?
this is crazy
this guy is giving everything ( away for free) in his group
all his secrets
Alright, I asked nicely, I joked around, tried to be a good guy. Flagged for spam.
It's pretty much a given at this point but...
Your votes are making a hell of a difference with @steemflagrewards what translates into more flags against abuse.
I think it is great because when people see less abuse getting rewards, they will take Steem more seriously as a blogging platform instead of a haven for scammers. That's just one example of one area you are making a difference.
Of course, I appreciate making the list as well and will continue to strive to do what I can to improve the ecosystem that we all benefit from.
I think we have a similar ethos. We want to support those that help build Steem as we have more than enough those that rather take as much as possible from, use, and abuse.
I think we have seen enough of that and it's people like you that will help usher in a new culture on the platform.
Kudos!
Is that a Louisiana accent you use in the beginning?
Great plan with the bots, and it's cool that they're clearly marked so we know where they're from.
Thanks for all you're doing here!
You nailed it! LOL ... I learned it from one of my former neighbors. You have a good ear :)
I started the "fultimebot" naming convention after a few random alts (e.g. @supersoldier, @donkeyslayer, @lizardslayer) but I will definitely try to keep it consistent for now on ...
I bring to you... visual inspiration... and.. hope? - Ok, maybe not hope... but yes..
Hey @fulltimegeek
I was about to upload my latest video when the title of this video caught my attention (It should be up in an hour or two... things take a little longer from this side of the world). I'm a bit of a hobbyist developer myself, and have written a small scale automation game for Steem already (and plan on a few more at a later stage)... the reason for the games was to learn NodeJS/SteemJS... but I digress.
I watched your video hoping to learn more about bots on Steem, but instead would like to throw my name into the hat for your list(s)' consideration.
Why should I get onto the list?
Well... first and foremost, all my video content is original and (in my opinion) pretty good too.
When I started on Steemit a few months ago, I was uploading to YouTube first and then onto DTube... Nowadays, but videos live on DTube for a week or 3 before making it onto YouTube and Facebook... The reason for that is that I already have a bit of an audience on those channels, and I would like to encourage that audience to join me here... eventually making DTube exclusive videos. In the next few weeks I'll be kicking off a DLive-exclusive series as well.
So... am I any good for Steem?
I would like to think so ;-) I'm involved with a small community of YouTubers here in South Africa, all of whom are tired of hearing me go on about Steem/Steemit. I've convinced a few to try it out, but like with many new Steemians, they quickly became disillusioned. What better way to show them that DTube CAN work for them than with a few extra votes on my own videos, rather than just showing them votes on other people's videos?
Anyway... thanks for the hearing me out... I hope my content makes the grade. Hit me up on discord or on the comments of any of my videos if you have any questions.
Cheers, and thanks,
BraaiBoy
Hi @fulltimegeek. I have seen your bot supporting many great Steemians on here and I applaud your efforts with supporting community-oriented individuals. When I first started out on Steemit, abh12345 and coolguy123 were the first #stewardsofgondor members to show support to our small community that helped newbies, and since then, I have the utmost respect for Asher and Raghavendra and your awesome guild members. I am happy to hear of a truce with the flagging wars.
With regards to the content you choose to support here on the platform, does one now have to be a video producer to succeed? I find that many individuals that started the same time I did find it ever more difficult to grow on this platform by "writing" or simply because they are not growing in the "IT" community.
It seems more and more it is the dapps that are showing support to users of the platform. Why is it that one must give up on privacy/anonymity to succeed on here? Because realistically, the support are with dapps such as DTube/DLive (and now with your bots).
I don't blog nearly enough or have anything really interesting to say most days to ask to be on the "Blessed List" 😂.
Absolutely not, but a lot of my SP will be directed to dtube/dlive. This does not mean excellent writers won't receive support from me. Like I mentioned in the video, I do have people on my list that are not filtered by such tags. It's just that, engagement-wise, people do spend more time watching videos and replying to them than they do reading articles (on average). Of course, everybody is different. I'm just trying to get as many people engaging on the blockchain as possible.
Thank you @beeyou for taking the time to comment :)
I do notice the same. Being a non-blogger to begin with, I feel I am the chicken who refuses to cross the road to get to the golden eggs. :)
You do support many of my favorite Steemians on here and I'm glad you do because someone has to! I don't know how steemit life would be without Asher's curation leagues/tables or Dave's Steemit tips, or sweet Lynn's stories of endurance and hope.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment :)
I think the idea of being "chicken" is a big part of the video avoidance for myself as well. I need to get a little more comfortable in my own skin before I commit myself to video.
Confession time... I got votes from some of the fulltimebots and didn't even make the connection to @fulltimegeek until I saw this video. It's horrible to admit! I looked at @fulltimebot and scratched my head a bit since none of the bots blog or comment. Of course in hindsight it all seems obvious!!
Perhaps one day we will stop being chickens and make our first video. Maybe we can record a real chicken trying to cross the road. That should make for some kicks and giggles. :)
Very glad you are receiving the bot support @mikepm74!
Or even hack writers like me for that matter ;-)
Your troop of bots stopped by my latest post. Even if it is a one-time event, I wanted to stop by to thank you for your support (and resteem). The first act of kindness shown to me from a higher-ranking fish was with Asher, and through him, I learned of you and the SOG. It is through individuals like Asher and yourself that keep many of us small fishes from quitting. It is not often there are people who would sacrifice time and earnings to help others. Thank you for being the firefly in the night and leading the way. :)
The man @fulltimegeek is back! I totally believe in voting lots of people, even if it's just a little. I probably voted 100+ people everyday for about a year.
I better step my steemit game up! Great to see you back bossman.
I'm back with vengeance! To slay the behemoth called YouTube.
I was saying FUNK YouTube before it was legitimately cool to do so...
.
I approve this message :)
Hey @fulltimegeek I really appreciate the explanation and points you put across in this video, philanthropy at it's creative and ingenious best. I also want to say that I've be humbled to see your bots appearing on my posts, it really means a lot and you're right .. it's had me checking in and out of my posts every five minutes! Thank you my friend!
Well, really, this has been a great support for the community, and we are very grateful for always being aware of our project @votovzla, thanks to that we can provide education to the steemians of Venezuela through great activities, we have encouraged the people to use dapp as dlive and dtuve on all musicians, our activities live broadcast by Dlive when the internet connection does not allow them.
Here we show some of them.

Hey @fulltimegeek
Being a while now since DM's research and I must say I'm privilege seeing your face for the first time ever. You rock man!
Fast forward...
First, I must commend you for such a great initiative. Also, you must really be doing a great & herculean task manually curating contents and thus need for bots.
I once had a privilege of benefitting from your benevolent heart of curation during DM research and I say thank you. But I want to solicit for your support, if your bots can be on my trail. I manually curate some original contents. And it is so devastating that it won't even leave an impression at all. People need an encouragement to get on. I know you're a good person with a great heart. This is my plea & accept me and let me find favour in your sight. Thank you.
I'm yours sincerely @mediahousent
Your house interiors are great!
Thank you for this, very informative. I'd love to have you on my show sometime to talk about the importance of blockchain and steemit. I'm trying to get people involved and a few have, but its been a bit tough because of the initial learning curve, some have found it difficult to learn a new thing. I've done a couple videos before for my audience in an attempt to explain the basics and I want to continue doing those; I think having a guest on such as yourself who is familiar with the platform and sees the benefit in it would be a great addition to the show. Thanks again for the information, take care and God bless!
Brother Josh! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm happy to hear this video answered a lot of your questions.
We can definitely make that happen. My only request is that you share the interview with Timothy Alberino so he also gets on board! LOL :)
Will do :)
Great to see you being able to utilize your SP for upvotes again! Love it! Much good can be done with every little bit... like you said, people love to see the votes trickle in.
I really wish Steemit Inc would get their act together on ways to find quality content to curate so that efforts like this would not be required. But until then, you do what you gotta do right?
If I was to have one criticism, it would be an echo of what BeeYou said regarding the DLIVE/DTUBE requirement. I can appreciate trying to get people to stop utilizing Youtube, and coming to utilize the blockchain alternatives. But like @beeyou said, some of us prefer to write rather than put ourselves on video.
Of course it is your SP, and you support the content/creators/tags that you feel most reflect your own values. I'm totally down with that. I would just hope that in time you might examine the idea of expanding your bots to include some people who may be a bit.... camera shy.
Have a great one Geek! You are always appreciated!!!
Hi @mikepm74, another SOG member. :) I understand FTG's support to the Dtube/DLive community because you said it best, it is his SP and he should be able to use it to "support the content/creators/tags that you feel most reflect your own values".
I feel the disconnect with this platform is that it is increasingly becoming users (big or small) that have to "step up" and be the ones to use their stake to show support to others. Steemit Inc should be using their stake to support user retention, but there is none given (at least not obvious to me). It is the dapps and friendly whales that are using their SP to support others. I would think support would trickle down to users from owner/management, but it seems it is peer-to-peer support on here.
I think who controls the stake and how they acquired it plays a big roll in the problems with Steem's reward pool. People who see themselves as "investors" separate themselves from the content, and worry only about how to make their stake earn them more money. The obvious answer on that is vote selling, or self voting. So you have these big whales who only care about increasing their own stack, without any concern for what is going on closer to the surface.
The problem is, i is those of us who swim near the surface who really impact the price movement on STEEM as a cryptocurrency. If the entire platform were devoid of good content, and showed no signs of value, then how long would it take for the STEEM token to bleed to zero? Last time I checked, any stake multiplied by zero is still zero. So the Investment Whales need the rest of us... but to this point, few of them have realized that it would pay them in the long term to be quality curators.
Don't get me started on STInc's stake and the use it is or isn't put to.... I could write novels. hahhaa
Have a great one! Keep supporting each other, and the end result will be satisfying!
I agree! With time, comes experience. I always enjoy reading the thoughts of others with more experience on this platform than myself.
I would snap a bot on my account because I make awsome, exciting, creative und quality content every single day!
seriously: I am not making posts everyday because I want to save my effort for the important ones. I take care for the quality of the content I push out to share informations and ideas as good and easy to understand as I could.
I would be happy if you just check out my channel and scroll over the steepshot-posts haha
Seeya and nice to have you around here dude !
I'm not a @dlive or @dtube content producer at all (at this time).
I just want to say that the fighters at @steemflagrewards greatly appreciate your support for empowering minnows and planktons, so they can become stewards of the blockchain against abuse.
Thanks again @fulltimegeek!
Definitely. Those cents upvotes can really make someone's day and encourage them to stay in Steemit making quality posts.
We're an abuse fighting family (@iamstan, @futurefarmers and I) involved in steemflagrewards. We're supporting abuse fighters, curating quality content.
We've been trying hard to get mikefromtheuk's rep above zero and we'd like to thank you for doing that as well.
I’ve been seeing these around on other people’s blogs and been wondering if you were behind them. Quite a smart way to go about it and even better people are earning for their amazing contest they produce.
I’ve been spending some time these days doing my own curation which involves being in a couple of discords, putting out a weekly list for the community I’m in. Commenting and up voting outstanding posts my own self. I more than understand wanting to automate such a thing. It can be rather time consuming from time to time. For now at least I do enjoy seeing an undervalued author get something more then the pocket lint that was left for them.
By the time I'm around on steemit as long as you have perhaps I'll be wanting to find a better way to go about things.
I have seen your bots striking on my recent posts. Very fun to watch indeed. Good to know what is going on. And again: Keep the videos coming. You are certainly camera material with your funny attitude.
He is indeed camera material and so free with it...he makes us want to watch the more...
Good to hear this explanation @fulltimegeek
Even though I know I ain't gonna be in your "special list" ,not even in the "Dtube - Dlive" list simply because I ain't vlogging, it is really cool to know that there is a powerful guy out there like you,who really cares for the growth of this platform.
The many bots strategy is really a great one for supporting newbies and also retaining them as you said....they will be inspired to keep checking their blogs..
I guess i qualify to be in your bot list hehehe,its me who started the Uganda community and helped grow it til where we are now..!!
Let me not over sell myself,i just even wrote a post asking for ideas of promo activities.... I have taken over 2 months without self voting...anyway if you have time you can prove my claims hahaha.
I like your house...that tv is massive.
Thanks for the great work and good heart.
So now i know what the Nice Good army of BOTs do, i never for once questioned the act cos it was free and with good and kind Intentions. With my lil time here have seen others make people pay for what you are doing for free. Bless you and i want more BOTs!
Indeed, he's a good and kindhearted dude. He destroyed the “pay as you earn” scheme on the platform with his bots. Meanwhile, some bots are greed.
You should do more videos - you've got a good sense of humour!
And great work with your bot-army ;)
My blog is awesome! :)
I think the IPFS that Dtube and Dlive uses has some glitches sometimes so I still like Youtube better. Plus for some reason the Dtube and Dlive don't embed into the blog post for some reason.
100 bots is a lot!
Well now Mr. Roboto thank you for the votes, the support, and the proxy to Asher rocks :-)
Curation is difficult and the likes of weekends I don't do much online, so no votes happen. I try to vote more on a Friday knowing I have the weekend to recharge. Wish I had coding skills. Cant wait to see what else you are going to put out.
Your videos rock, the audio is fantastic for a mobile phone. I make video a lot a having invested a bit I still struggle to get audio right. Glad to see you are also supporting video content. I recently set up my existing brand here on steemit and hosted a test webinar on dlive a few weeks back. As someone with an existing brand and also an understanding of steemit I know there are many challenges ahead to attract and keep video content creators.
Atta boy, @fulltimegeek!
Hey ewe!
I'd like to use this superb image in a post, is that OK with you?
Yes, please! That's why's I make 'em! xoxo
Thank you sir! A homage to the FTG and his bot brigade is on its way :D
Woot!
10-4!
PEW! PEW!!
Oh eee Oh Ohhhhhh
@mikepm - This one gets me right in the chucklebox every time. Never gets old!
As one of the people that have been receiving votes from your bots, I can assure you that I do care about the platform and I do greatly appreciate the support. I just wanted to stop by and express a little gratitude to you. :)
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto. Thank you for explaining your bot system. I had no idea why I was getting those votes.
I was put on your list two weeks ago and I went from getting $1-$2 payouts to $10+
It really means a lot to me. I work a low-end part-time job 15-25 hours a week. I put everything else into a blockchain future. $300 a month from Steem would literally double the amount I can invest in the blockchain, so your upvotes are greatly appreciated.
I am also a Java programmer, but I get really frustrated that Steem doesn't officially support Java... perhaps we could collaborate in some way? I had a project that was using @steemj but that wrapper is now dead.
I'm somewhat of a newbie but I have amazing ideas for this blockchain... ones that would be extremely powerful and relatively easy to implement. They are also modular and compliment each other. Most important of all: they would not be greedy.
You say you are only upvoting videos now? I don't make videos so I guess I'll have to hope you put me on that super exclusive list :D
Sometimes I don't know where to spend my upvotes and I just end up topping off my own comments so I don't hit 100%... I guess I'll start by giving the replies here some love.
Keep up the good work. Also, I'd like to reiterate that Java and Android programming are at the top of my list. We should probably talk in discord or something: Edicted#2356
Heh, just blasted my voting power down to 67% upvoting the comments here. WORTH!
So embedded YouTube videos are bad? Sorry about this:
Sometimes I find them to be useful.
It's so funny... I just was out having lunch and this song ^^^ was playing. It's been stuck in my head ever since.
Hi @edicted. I stopped by your blog and your interest seems to be on cryptocurrency, blockchain, and steemit! Very cool. I will have to find some time to learn more about this new world of blockchain.
That is great you are receiving support from FTG's bots, especially since you are investing back into the blockchain. I am learning as best I can, but I seem to find the horrendous moments to invest in crytocurrency, especially with Steem. Most of my investments occurred when Steem was at peak, but I still have faith we will grow! Thank you kindly for your support. :)
This is an amazing time to average down your cost. Buy in now to bring the cost average total down.
Of course even what you bought at highs are still paying you back in vote rewards, and a little bit of staking interest. So eventually it all works for you. But if you believe in STEEM and you have some funds on the sidelines you can afford to risk, buying in and staking up is not a terrible idea.
This is (NOT) financial advice. LOL
I appreciate the (NOT) financial advice, hehe. I did take the opportunity to invest in a bit more. Just a little, since coinbase is just a pain in the behind with the account fund availability. I am happy with the little investment I made, and aiming for STEEM to continue rising so I can average down the cost.
Thanks @mikepm74!
Steem will be $10+ a coin at the support level in a year. You gotta believe! You only lose money if you give up and cash out. Keep at it!
Steem is going up. Woohoo! I did take the opportunity to invest a bit more during the dip. Let's shoot for the moon!
HAHA thank you for the bit about the ptsd omg...I don't feel so alone anymore!
Can't wait to see your video wrap up of the Quest. Thanks a million for alllllll the ways you make this blockchain great.
Seconded! We appreciate you more than can be stated with words FTG!
Hey! Nice2cyou in flesh and blood mahh man! Those were some amazing times for me when you visited me back in the day :P I know tho, I'm not really the special elite material anymore haha shiiiit :) Anyways, have a good day and thank you for everything you do for Steemit!
Confirmed!
Full Bossman confirmation for this guy!
Wow, this is really awesome and it totally explains all the votes I've been getting. First of all, thank you for the support @fulltimegeek, I truly appreciate it and I'm honored to be on your "super-special elite list", which I figured I have to be, as I've been getting upvotes on content without the dlive and dtube tags.
Secondly, which might sound weird to some, is the quantity. I totally prefer several votes instead of a vote from your main account. I don't know, it feels extra special in some sense to get a bunch of votes, randomly, from your bots. A really awesome thing to do and it sounds logical to use bots this way.
I wondered who sent me all those bot votes!
Thank you so much for this explaining vlog. I have been greatly grateful for your visitations to my posts in recent times.
Each little ft-visit has given me a zing of happiness to know that someone (ie you) thinks what I produce offers some value to readers and the steemchain.
And out of each zing has come some zang to enthuse me on to my next posting endeavour.
My underlying quest for all I do here is - Am I putting in more than I take out?
For every post I make I have three measures :
Does the post serve a purpose and provide some value to the reader?
Is the post the best I can make it?
Is it a post I would want to read myself?
Alas I am most adept with the written word, rather than spoken, and my posting time is when the others here are sleeping, so my opportunities to use the chosen DTube and DLive tags will be few and far between.
So I thank you kindly for your votes that have come before, and I send my good wishes to accompany your votes with whomever they visit next.
Good night from Wales. It is time to rest my tiring eyes.
The blessed list -- I love it.
Loving the swag brother! Was very chill to watch you discuss your bots and i love how you are just catching all the angles and hitting those 360 degree turns lol. You've got what it takes to be a Pro vlogger! Thanks for everything you do and keep steeming!
Hey @fulltimegeek, I almost cried when I realized what was happening with me. (Then I did actually cry a bit, because I've been so grateful for this.)
You've inspired me to take new initiatives in my content creation and what I can offer of myself as a value producer in this growing ecosystem, with an emphasis on what is happening with the voices that save...it's a new hash I want to be creating to help share some of this wealth with people who are being extremely bold about what they share with others that may help them thrive through what may be a dark time.
Thank you for being here and for having taken me under wing like this. I feel brothered and my intention is to inject this seed in perpetuity.
I thought you had an army of Minions working in your basement! I used to curate manually too, but it became time consuming, so I wrote my own bot to curate quality bloggers with strong upvotes. I'll add more as my stake increases.
I'm curious, why so many bots when you can have 1 bot to rule them all?
P.S. I read that xeroc post about signing transactions a while ago, for my learning, it was too much for my brain. Kudos if you reversed it into JAVA!
Bots, if used wisely and without greed, are the best way to go imo.
@themarkymark asked a similar question so I'll just provide the link to my reply here
Thank you :) ... it definitely wasn't easy tho ...
Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya @fulltimegeek.
I hope I am not too take to the party! I was referred here by a very great friend ( @soyrosa) and I want to basically pledge for myself & her to be on your bot list :D I would say I am a very active Steemia making on average atleast 3 quality posts( in my opinion and many others who are supportive of me), and a little boost from you would definitely add on to my motivation. Seeing we are in #MinnowUprisingJuly with @taskmaster4450, the goal is 120 post this month averaging 30 posts a week, so you can be very sure I will definitely overwork your bots!
Thanks for your consideration.
Gracious Weekend
Xo
I certainly don't need the bot support, BUT I'd love to see @elsiekjay supported by your fulltimeBots!
She's an amazingly kind woman from Kenya and I've seen and therefore learned so much about her country through her videos on both DLive and DTube! I believe she adds to both the blockchain and to the world by showing us a country that otherwise doesn't get a lot of attention. Also 'behind the scenes' (Discord) she is supportive and kind and cheerful. I believe she is here for 'the long haul' which is something I'd personally love to see more often.
I know your upvotes would mean the world to her content making efforts, so I thought I'd come here and cheer her on! :D
I love what you are doing, spreading your wealth among the community in this smart and botty way @fulltimegeek! Thanks for that and steem on!
Fulltimegeek is a fulltimegenius!!! I love the bot idea. I especially like their up votes... lol That's ingenious because there's so many post that it's impossible to read them all. My only complaint is the page view counter. Don't do this for money. I get satisfaction from knowing that people are reading my articles... I have no way to gauge my success or failures. I lost my motivation to write. It's almost like being shadowbanned
The funny start caught my attention. I love people with this kind of free positive mood lol what can I say. So I listened because I’m interested in personal bots (I’m starting my own bot this month for the very same reason too hopefully, but I’m an complete amateur when it comes to programming so who knows...) AND i was interested in how you actually look like lol. So both of my needs were satisfied.
Then when I heard that you want to extend the list of people that will have chance for an upvote from you my mind started pondering the idea of how to promote myself efficiently. Then I realized that my last 6 articles would probably do it better than myself bragging about who else than myself. This is how my blog will (hopefully) look like until I will have to start working on Master’s thesis - which is still more than a year from now.
Well then you said you only want to upvote @dlive and @dtube videos...Since I try to keep my feet on the ground (unless I’m high - which I’m not right now) I have to make peace with the fact that making it to you "elite" list is nearly impossible and if I ran from myself and adjusted my content for your bot I would lose. I only plan to stream from time to time and also I wanted to improve in producing brainstorms and speeches about Blockchain and Steem in English for when I mature I would like to attend conferences and similar places where I could promote Blockchain, Steem…you name it.
Anyway this is great initiative. Keep being cool and transparent fellow geek:).
PS I love your fireplace

Greetings @fulltimegeek
I'm very happy to see you with a video explaining the Bot network, and just generally happy to see you with content that we can gain insight into the selfless mind of one of the kindest people on the Steem blockchain.
The votes have been appreciated by myself, and i've had others contact me asking where to pass on the thanks - now they have a place to do so :)
In some respects, the inward voting and lack of care for others has grown this year, but the likes of yourself and Johal are hopefully leading these people towards a path which can only make our community stronger.
Much love and appreciation, thank you so much for all you've done for me and 1000's of others. You are one of a kind!

That's actually very clever!
I'm not a video producer, and am unlikely to ever become one; I'm pretty much also not a consumer of video (It's too slow — I can read 5x faster than I can watch/listen... but I'm an old phart so pay me no mind!), but I appreciate what you're doing here and I also appreciate that you're one of the few who has always stood by supporting quality content here.
The army of bots thing is cleverly motivational... when you're a newbie here and busting your gut in an attempt to get seen (and you make really good content), having even those small votes trickle in can make a big difference between giving up and wanting to continue.
The Bots Are Indeed Clever!! Thanks For Sharing!! You've got a new follower!! Hey You got a minute? CLICK on this link, enter your e-mail, and then watch the video!!

I have been a recipient of the FTG BOT Brigade on some of my posts! I was like WHAT?! Fulltimegeek has morphed in the League of Bot Kingdom to continue paying it forward to quality steemians and content!
I bow to you and your incredible heart spreads the way steemit was meant to be used!
LOL.
I'm happy to pass on the blessing to awesome steemians such as yourself. Thank you also for informing your followers about the plight of #DonaldMarshall. It won't be forgotten!

I think the idea of many many small votes is genus! At this point in time, I feel it is crucial to keep people that are quality Steemers active and engaged. Well done @fulltimegeek. I salute you for setting a great example for us all to follow.
So Awesome!! Thanks For Sharing!! You've got a new follower!! Hey You got a minute? CLICK on this link, enter your e-mail, and then watch the video!!

Your profile picture is similar to you, lol. I never thought of it. But by the way nice update @fulltimegeek owning 100 bots is the start of your 1000 bots 😅😁
Of course you would do something like this I was wondering why you created 100's of mini geeks.
You are a selected few that care about our community! Love it.
As long as you are voting 2% or more, one larger account will similar results with a lot less effort. When you start voting below 2% (really 1.5-18% or so) the precision issues crop up which can cause you to waste voting power.
That should give you a solid 1,000 votes sustainably (your voting power won't drop lower than you can recharge in the day).
If you are doing more than 1,000 votes, yeah the multiple bots are the way to go.
The problem with a 2% vote from a large account is that you're limited to one vote per blog. This prevents new votes to trickle in. I want content creators to keep returning to their blogs to inspect their earnings.
Thanks @themarkymark for your technical perspective.
LOL! Thanks for the prescription doc.
Ahh, yes I see what you are doing. I'd have to agree then.
So many bots...... so little time.
Have a good summer man.
Great job friend greetings and many successes
Hi fulltime. Thank you for explaining bot curation. I am ignorant on this sort of thing and didn't know it existed like how you are operating. I find it refreshing that you think like this and are community orientated. We all should be as our goals have to be the same and that is seeing Steemit succeed. Will definitely keep a look out for you now.
