I spend on average around 12 hours EVERY day in discord chat helping people navigate their way through signing up, even sending steem from my account to help them do so. If you think the upvote bots are the be all and end all you are very short sighted. Sure, they attract new users to the community, but when they get there they are introduced to the most helpful support system I have seen so far on Steemit. We have a room dedicated to helping with formatting posts, another dedicated to fiction writing with a couple of very talented and industry recognised critics and reviewers to help mould an ok story into a truly epic story/post. We have hundreds of newbies coming through every day asking about every aspect of the Steemit ecosystem - wanting to learn how to navigate it and best practices and we have a highly dedicated team at hand who either know or find the answers for them. Why? Money? Nope - we don't get anything financial out of this. We do it because we too are fairly new to the platform and know how difficult it is to get started. We genuinely want to help. If you can't see this then it's your loss.

This reads as a very bitter post about something you truly do not understand.
