RE: Steem Voter Review: bringing bot power to the masses
I get what you are saying and why it works for you but doesn't this undermine the whole social / human point of steemit? The bot can't read a post that someone has put their time and effort into....I don't know. It's entirely subjective - what you might want from this experience.
You're right, some people feel that bots are dehumanizing voting because they can't read and appreciate all the hard work someone has put into writing a post. Which is why the comment by @thecryptofiend is important to keep in mind: voting bots should be used to supplement, not replace, human curation. I still curate manually as much as possible, but I can't possibly read & vote enough to make the most of my allocated votes per day (which is about 40 votes before your voting power begins to drop substantially). Steem Voter is a good way to pick up the slack and use those votes that would otherwise be lost. It allows me to support my favorite authors to the maximum extent possible!
I get what you're saying. Good luck with it....if I see your bot around, I'll say hello :)
You mean if you see me around. :-) As Steem Voter votes with my name, you would just see a vote from @cryptomancer and have no way of knowing if it's a manual vote or one from the bot. Although when I do vote manually, I typically leave a comment as well.
ah...okay then. I hope to "see" you around then.
