RE: Bots and multiple accounts on Steemit
Hi. I am a volunteer bot for @resteembot that upvoted you.
Your post was chosen at random, as part of the advertisment campaign for @resteembot.
@resteembot is meant to help minnows get noticed by re-steeming their posts
Even better: If your reputation is lower than 28 re-steeming only costs 0.001 SBD!
If you want to learn more - read the introduction post of @resteembot.
If you want help spread the word - read the advertisment program post.
Volunteer bot for a(nother) bot.
Feels like a new thing to learn about.
ROFL! Irony?
I get what your saying and do agree somewhat but bots can be used by everyone. The same could be said about people who joined early but it wouldnt be fair to reset everyone's account when a new person joins. The same could be said for people who invest their own money as opposed to us grinders.
1st degree murder and robbery can be done by most too, and according to the law it is not fair to take from the murderer and robber all that he managed to rob.
Comparing this and murder/robbery is a bit of a stretch don't you think? In both those cases they are doing something to other people. How is use of a bot to upvote etc taking away from anyone else?
Both deeds are benefiting on others' expense.
I thought I explained in the article how it takes away from other accounts, but I will repeat it in different words for you and anyone whom will ever read this exchange:
The benfits of upvotes, be them either SBD or SP come from a reward pool that at least in SP case comes from inflation of STEEM.
More upvotes is more inflationary to STEEM, and more significantly, it drains the reward pool quicker and puts it in abusers' wallets (abusers are users of multiple accounts) and in the case of bot accounts, they even achieve their goal easier, since their bots do most of their dirty time consuming work including logging in and logging out repeatedly, and voting and timing of voting and other time wasting stuff.
