Why did you have to use the bots? I see one of your posts on $10 and it has just one real comment after 6 days, so what did you achieve by buying a vote?

Nobody is automatically entitled to rewards and the mood has shifted thanks to free downvotes so people are more into real curation. We want rewards to go where they are earned and that is up to the community. I do not even self-vote, but I do downvote posts that are taking an unfair amount of rewards from the pool by buying votes as that deprives others of rewards.

It has nothing to do with talent or even the size of their respective dicks. It's about doing what is good for the Steem platform.
