Super post... Thanks... I have mixed feeling... and I'm using those bots.
I tried to stop, but at the I "went back" to them :-(

It is an understandable reflex, @steemitri. I also am part of Qurator, a community where members can receive an automated upvote each 24hrs.

End of the day, we all want our content to be seen. That is also why I don't promote that bots be nuked, they shall be allowed to operate and where possible even be a viable financial opportunity for their operators. Free market aso.

But, as you yourself also know, there are ways to become seen without being left to the mercy of bots. It's community participation and building. If not always financially rewarding, it can still be very rewarding in different ways.

Thanks for your cmment. :)
