Great question...

The problem is, in order to "become a force" on Steemit, bots are almost essential... and yet, in the case where errors are made and bot-votes are wasted, there that's a sad thing.

Personally, what I really long for is readers -- i.e., actual people whose eyeballs see what I've written, who actually read and think about it, and who authentically interact with me based on the content of what I've written...

So, I guess my tendency would be this: to simply exercise the maximum care when posting in order to avoid unnecessary deletions; and then to simply accept any that may occur, under the heading of "s**t happens." ;)

Thanks for a thought-provoking article! :) 😄😇😄
