RE: Vote Bots: Great tool or destroying the SteemIt community?
I don't use bots; although that's not to say I haven't done it early on in my steemian life. I did once, it was such a long time ago (within my first two or three weeks) and I can't even recall which one it was) and I really don't believe I ever got what I paid for; I even chatted with the "human" in charge of the BOT and he/she tried to claim I DID receive what was explained. Kind of left that "bad" taste in my mouth, so I shied away from bots.
Now... I am also a Qurite and did use qustodian when I first joined- I let it go that I still had that bad taste hovering on my tongue... but this time it worked out. PLUS, I (keep in mind I was a little red fish swimming aimlessly at the time when it came to cryptocurrency) had OVERpaid qustodian for their service. Well, the over payment was immediately refunded. What? Refunded? Yes... the difference was refunded back to me with the explanation as to why.
People have their own opinions, views and experiences with BOTS; whether good, bad or ugly. My only advice is to check into the BOT, check into the person/people behind the BOT and be vigilant with your results.
Maybe the best advice on this comment thread. Thanks @goldendawne!
