Of course, we started small, as a dolphin bot gradually growing in size as more and more technology was developed both on the blockchain and in the bot itself.
In the beginning, we upvoted all kinds of spam and direct shitposts, it was horrible. We even got gamed to the maximum by various smart brains out there that found ways to trick booster, but we did not give up - we kept on developing.
Today the scenario is different. Now people use our services for the content they have spent time and creativity on. Even vendors of products and bloggers sponsored by external companies paying the marketing cost to trend posts. It is AWESOME!
Watching @inertia developing one tool niftier then the other is pure joy. He now works for Steemit Inc. (Since February cy) they sure know how to headhunt talents at STEEMIT HQ, maybe that is why Booster is the #1 Bot on the STEEM blockchain because it has been battle tested longer and harder then any other marketing bot out there and continously being developed as the STEEM blockchain also evolves into newer and better versions.
Thank you all for a fantastic first year, we hope to see many more great years to come as STEEM develops into larger and more multinational dimensions!
If you are new to booster, check our other posts for rules and regulations, or our wallet page or https://steembottracker.com which is not always very accurate but it is the place people go to watch upvote bots.
