Thanks for the shout out step brother! Just a few notes of clarification:

• RE not using upvote bots: If you absolutely feel you have to use a paid upvote service (which I do not recommend or endorse personally for many reasons), please wait until your post is at least 24 hours old to give curators a chance to find your post first. The way the curation reward system works here on Steemit is that the lion's share of the curation reward goes to the first significant upvote on a post. A curator is much more likely to give you a full upvote and even possibly a resteem to a wider audience if they are the first big upvote. Buying a vote means you are giving any future curation reward, if your post does end up doing well, to the service you bought the vote from. You are actually making it less likely that your post will be upvoted and promoted by an experienced curator if you buy an upvote.

• RE the Badge of Originality: The Badge of Originality will not be customized to the post/account that receives the badge. Rather, the Badge of Originality is customized to the account that is giving out the badge - in this case, the @humanbot Badge of Originality looks like the badge below, which incorporates @carlgnash's instantly recognizable alien eyeball avatar. The idea with the badge of originality is that it is only handed out by well respected curators and other members of the Steemit community who have proven the ability to identify truly original content. These users each have a customized badge that they hand out which incorporates their own avatar and in some cases color scheme. Other readers will recognize the avatar on the badge and realize that these trusted users are endorsing the new author/original content blog post.
