You are absolutely right. Thats why i made a contribution on utopian a while ago that reputation score should not increase when votes are bought from bots. For me, for you and clearly for a lot of people out there, reputation score is worth more than even 2000 SP. rep score is a measure to know how active and how popular a certain steemian is.. and this is being totally destroyed with bot votes. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution..
