We have all seen the debate on whether or not up-vote bots are good for Steemit. Some say that people are buying the reward pool. Others say that their content, no matter how good would not be seen otherwise. What nobody mentions is the fact that these are bots and if you send them Steem and don't get an upvote, you are out of luck so it seems.
It's been about 72 hours since I sent 
Well, the bot cycled through the resting period and voted. I noticed that there was no upvote for the post I sent with the 3 Steem. So, I just waited. I figured perhaps I just got pushed. Sometimes the bids are all full for the amount the bot gives per up-vote. That has happened to me in the past and I was just put on the list for the next go around. The next go around came and still no up-vote.
After a few hours had passed I decided to send the account .001 with a message regarding the missed up-vote. I sent the message this way thinking that I didn't want to blow up their spot on one of their posts. If it was an honest mistake then no reason to loud him and freak out perspective customers. After 24 hours nothing was returned to me, no vote nor a fuck was given.
As a respectful guy I figured I would just wait another day. After 36 hours I figured I would send the
By the time today rolled around I am starting to get a little angry with the wait. Sure, it is only 3 Steem worth just under $1 USD but last year at one point it was worth over $30 USD. In the future it could be worth more. It was a possible 3 shares of Steembasicincome. Perhaps 3 more Steem Power in my account!
This time I decided it was time to comment on his most recent post. I go to his page and (this is the irony I love in life) the last post is about the owner of Steem Bot Tracker not giving enough love to his website! So, a bot account that misses a bid and doesn't respond to the customer (me) letting them know about it is bummed out about a website not getting upgrades from the owner.
At the end of the day, the only person I have to blame is myself. So, when you go to get an upvote from a bot and you are entering the information to send Steem from your wallet, just remember buyer beware!
