Well, they are here and we need to all become aware of who, what, how, when and WHY!

I respect EVERYTHING that people express as an opinion, but hands on, first hand experience is sometimes the best way to come to some new and better conclusions.

Like I said, I actually have gotten to know one of the small bot owners, saw that it was a person trying to ensure an income in addition to his blogging etc. This to me was an eye opener back then, although I personally do see the need for the solution presented by Ned for an alternative/parallel means of promoting Proof of Brain!

How would you feel if Steemit.com had a second universally distributed token with account-based voting, individuality verification and super linear rewards curves?

As for the community bots, I somewhat feel that many community members are not aware of just how influential these can be to their progress here (in a financial way).

Some may feel that their 20SP, later 30SP, 50, 100, 200, 500 SP delegations are too much to "give" to a community bot.
Yet they fail to see that the vote that they can get from such a community service is somewhat 10 times greater than what they would get if they "self vote" their own posts!
&
it takes everyone in the community to make it greater than just great!

Why wait for a Whale to notice you?
When you can help build a whale that all the community members can have vote on their posts?

Isn't that one of the key goals in building a community here on this platform?

So after a few chats on Discord, in particular with @linnyplant, who actually got me motivated to write this post, that is, to share these thoughts here, I think we need to build awareness on the opportunities such community bots offer to all members and just how important each and every member is in achieving financial independence.
