So I posted an article about eSports Prize Pool and suddenly within a minute my post had 34 votes, it was suspicious so I checked out the accounts of the voters and guess what!! All of them had no post history and no steem or SBD. They only had the initial Steem Power given to them as Sign Up Bonus. My guess is that one person is handling all these accounts for reasons unknown.
After that I was trying to see some other newly created posts and the team of bots upvoted many new articles at random. The bots upvoted single articles together.
Few posts that have upvotes from these bots (including mine):

- https://steemit.com/steemit/@calamus056/a-detailed-answer-to-where-does-the-money-come-from
And here are few of the bots:
I don't know what is the purpose of these bots. I am just writing this article to inform others about this.
