upvoting bots are the major reason for spam.
why spend hours (or even a few minutes) carefully crafting an article when you get a MUCH greater return on time invested by slinging spam?
If you upvote shit with minnowbooster you will get downvoted, lose followers and only earn hate.
Used correctly for good posts you can close the gap between minnows and whales and get some attention you would otherwise not get.
Upvote bots ain't the problem. People simply go where the money is. And if you want money you better already have some or you are forced to use bots because otherwise, you will be forever unknown on steem.
The real problem is that you can make money on steem. Money decides who will get attention. And if you have none you will stay a nobody.
The rich get rich & the poor will stay poor (unless they break the rules and do whatever they can). Welcome to capitalism.
Yeah that is possible, but I will use the system and all that it offers to increase my profits here.
Ignoring the tools that are available for moral reasons ain't how I work.
I would not die with regrets knowing I used a bot to make money. A lot of rich people nowadays did a lot of questionable things to reach the top and nobody cares anymore.
The best and most extreme example would be Hillary Clinton. The attention her fucked up behavior gets is minimal for what she has done.
2nd time I hear about "PapaPepper" today. Time to check out his blog.

nope..not true.
it's possible to start from zero and make a LOT of money on Steemit.
PapaPepper has done it..

capitalism (the freemarket) is a GOOD thing...very much to preferred to any other economic system.
