So, serious question, what if I use a bot to upvote you? Let's say my max vote is about 10c, but I can send 0.5SBD to @randowhale or @treeplanter or the like to come and give you more reward than I'm able to.
I often do this on posts I feel deserve it, and I have no problem at all when people do it on mine. I had a very in-depth discussion with Steemit witness @dragosroua on this exact topic, which you can read in my feed if you're interested.
As my intention here is genuinely to comment and discuss this with you, I won't spam my link to your wall - that's not what this is about :)
What you are referring to is different- you are still interacting with me. What I meant was the bots which crawl Steemit posts and upvote posts with certain tags.
By going to randowhale, you are still personally involved :)
Which post of yours is the conversation with dragon in?
Ah OK - that wasn't clear, but I got it now :)
The post is here:

Yes, I am also annoyed by the auto-posting bots that make useless comments - but read through that interview. It has a ton of insights into the 'problems', with some proposed solutions.
Very cool, thanks!
Hi, I think the same about bot... moreover, I try not to spam with lot of useless post, but take my time to write just an article a day.
I'm new to steem, and I just have 1sbd in my account. I was lucky one of my posts the other day was up voted by a whale. But my other posts don't get any attention, hope this will change in the future.
Do you think it could be worth spending 1$ to promote or use @randowhale to try and reach more people?

Definitely - although @randowhale is not active 24 hours a day, so check before you send money. Also, the maximum transfer is now 0.5SBD for a random vote from him.
Thanks, I'll try 😺
Oh, good to know... So is randowhale manually operated?
Yes - check that he is online, and if so, send 0.5SBD and the URL to the post you want upvoted. It can be yours, or someone else's that you feel is deserving of a little extra push than your voting power is capable of :)
How do I know if he's online?
Just go to https://steemit.com/@randowhale and look at his latest post headlines.
If you look through the list of the last few there, you will see how he posts a notice when he is up or down (right now he is online).
Ok. Thanks :)
I think the best thing you can do is keep interacting with peers who tickle you, and keep posting quality content.
