I wonder if those votes will be removed. This was the same issue @dmania had when they started out.

@steemhunt and other projects planned in this vein really need SMTs or a method to exclude the Bid-bots.

I wrote a piece about @steemstem yesterday actually. They are using a browser add-on to help their manual curation of the #steemstem tag. I hope that other communities will follow suit whilst we wait for SMTs to arrive.

Cheers!
