I am not a fan of bots for the most part, I don't have a problem with personal use bots by good folks who are using them to upVote folks that they know produce quality content on a regular basis.
Just this weekend I did use a re-steem bot to get my photo contest out to more folks, it wasn't to try and raise the post earnings just wanted more visibility so more folks could enter, use for that type of bot I see as a positive for the platform.
Other than that, I don't much care for the bots. People abuse and misuse for personal gain and that turns me off to those type folks, I haven't looked at the trending page in over 4 months because it is riddled with junk posts that are botted up to the max.
I will enter your contest by re-steeming this post as a show of support for you and what you are doing to help others.
