Hey. Thanks @josephsavage, great suggestion!
There's definitely an interesting study to be done there (although not an easy one to do). I've never looked at the bot upvotes you get by posting from eSteem. Are they on every post? Or something like once a day?
I haven't done close analysis on it. They don't come in every post, but if you're using it regularly they come in once or twice a day. It looks like they use a winfrey-bot that only upvotes on eSteem posts with some time factor between posts.
