RE: Ep 4 of 4 - Upvote Bots and the Future : Interview with a Top Curie Curator @carlgnash.
Yes, at least theoretically. Although the more likely scenario is a handful of extremely low weight votes come in as a result of the resteem. Not that this is a bad thing - I hadn't actually thought of using resteembot as a way to resteem posts that r-bot and humanbot upvote, but I will do this going forward. I don't like to resteem posts on either of those two feeds because I want visitors to be able to see the relevant blog posts which tell the mission statement and progress reports. This would be an easy way to increase visibility on some of those good posts that are upvoted through humanbot and r-bot.
In the beginning @resteembot actually had an upper limit for reputation. Users with more than 45 reputation weren't allowed to use it.
You also weren't allowed to resteem somebody else's posts.
The idea was to limit the abuse from whales and spammers.
I changed that when I realized that experienced users could give resteems to minnows, without polluting their own blogs.
