RE: The Simple No Hassle Bot Setup Guide to Upvote the Same Posts as Any Top Curator.
I would agree with this a bit but it is very short term small picture. We have yet to see even a tenth of the potential of this platform, there is a long way to go. The average person does not have the time to curate properly and naturally there will be those that make a hobby out of it. The goal is to get the best content trending, this is a part of that system. Your new user concept is kind of irrelevant as they could buy the SP to get them the curation rewards I do. This also assumes that gains are the only incentive to join this platform and that is just one of many. I recently was able to create an immutable blog with my steemit content, that is huge and has nothing to do with curation or rewards.
Please vote responsibly. That's all.
Please review my upvoted posts and let me know if there is any irresponsible upvotes in there. I tend to love the articles that the individual I am bot'ing upvotes.

I'm not accusing you of voting irresponsibly.
All good, was just trying to stress that the top curators are at the top for upvoting the best content on the site.
To each their own. I don't mind bot votes on my stuff. I'm a curators dream, most days... but I guess if I'm not on a list up there, this article encouraging others to vote for everyone else won't benefit me very much. I'd say the majority of users here could relate to that. Maybe even, yourself. No stress though. I'm not knocking down your efforts. I'm not using a bot to vote. I usually just vote for the authors I enjoy, especially if they've supported me, that helps. When spring rolls around and I'm putting in more hours working, I might consider a bot... but even then, it won't be for easy curation rewards.
What @codydeeds has described in terms of algorithm is just the tip of the iceberg, really. The bot can do sooooo much more than follow the leader. There's currently 65 different bits of information you can get to decide on whether or not to vote on a post.
In fact the stated purpose of the bot is to go much deeper and look at the content of posts, keywords, whether or not there's only images / video, and the network of the poster, including votes on the post, etc. There's a little bit of NLP that I'd like to expand.
I think if you truly wanted to support your supporters you would bot. This bot can do that for you, rather easily. Just add the supporters to the white list and use: author_is_whitelisted
The sooner you upvote their post the more of the rewards they get versus you in curation. Instant bot voting your supporters would be the more selfless thing to do.
