I absolutely hate the bots on this site! I honestly got so discouraged after putting in real effort and time into writing a few posts a few months ago (I'm only back on because I figured I should try my hand at steemit again, still without using bots) that I said screw it. But here I am. Anyways yea it's an extremely uneven playing field for beginners on here, and just lets trash posts rise to the top.
