Sorry, but I actually don't see what the fuzz is all about, not using bots on posts thats older than 3 days.
Sure I use a bot every now and then, but I do it after 1 hour or so, not on the 6th day.
I do however think Grumpy Cat is a bit hypocritical regarding bots, as on that post it has used SEVERAL bots to upvote it, and if it was a any regular minnow user, a post with that many bots used to upvote would get flagged for bot overload.
Edit:
ok now I think i can see where you are going with this, how can 1 user decide he wants to make rules on steemit. Maybe he grumpy will end up being "Bernie'd" by many others.
