Yeah I hear you. I started helping minnows by adopting someone for 1 month and giving one post a 100% up vote each day. I switched to my bot because I noticed some people I adopted didn't stick around, which defeated the purpose of my comp as I wanted them to stick around.

Now my bot up votes two minnows each day at 50%, that way if someone doesn't stick around I don't mind. It also makes me happy knowing I'm doing my little bit along with @steeming-hot

Btw you should bulk out your posts a little more, maybe add some kind of footer about @steempatron
@steeming-hot has the 1000 character limit, but by adding a descriptive footer it will help ensure you get picked by the bot and also help your other initiative get noticed more :)
