When I first came to steemit I felt like the type of content that prospered in the platform was very niche like, and not typically my niche. Shadowbot has allowed me to keep making posts and contributing to the Steemit community and the content of the platform to appeal to different interests that may not be as well represented in Steemit.
So instead of loosing a user, Shadowbot has gotten me to power up my account and keep generating content. Which is good for the future of Steemit and Shadowbot...and of course I can now actually make a few bucks while the community builds.
