I hope you remember the opening two sentences of the MinnowBooster guide.

If you think that MinnowBooster is a voting bot, you are right. But if you think that MinnowBooster is just a voting bot, then you must read this post till the end and know why it is not true.

So true in case of SmartSteem too but I needed to start differently.

Thank you so much for your feedback. The more people learn from my blog, the happier I become because the purpose of my efforts is to educate people properly in a way that benefits them as well as Steemit.
