Thanks for your insights and experience.

I've used a few in the past, and I've tried to avoid using some of the pay-for-vote bots recently, and have done okay organically, or with just the MSP trail bot.

I was hoping to open a dialogue around that question - what could Steemit do organically to satisfy the need that these bots are doing. Better discovery tools? Boosted voting among minnows? Special sections for curators to see minnow content?

I've just loathe to see 100s of vote-bots, paid or otherwise, filling up Steemit.
