Of course it's to get readers, but the autovoting is completely separate from that. Those people using autovotes do not have the time to manually vote and comment on every post that they would like to. So the authors they like and know they would vote for if they did have the time they send bots to. I don't see the problem with that.
I guess that depends on your motivations. Some people blog for money - to make a living. Others blog for popularity - to reach a large audience. Some want both. I think Steemit can meet the various types of demand...and thrive doing so.
Take note our readers aren't only for steemit, so tho invisible or I don't know if there is way yet to determine this with a tool but 6 people viewed it steemit, hundreds may have seen it on google

And I come from a position where i spend hours and hours a day reading and commenting and voting manually just to be clear.
