RE: Voting Your Favourite Authors?
I'm not a fan of the bot voting. My hunch (could be wrong) is that many do it to attempt to get curation rewards for upvoting blogs they have not read or commented on. I don't think that's in the spirit of Steemit.
upvoting blogs they have not read or commented on
The new page view function verifies your hunch...
I typically get 5 page views per 100 votes
I appreciate the votes BUT...it's rather depressing.
I believe it is literally the reason people enjoyed using Steemit in the first place, is the personal connection with users.
I think there is a mix of reasons why people use autovoting that ranges from purely wanting curation rewards to simply wanting to make sure their favourite authors receive upvotes. There are some who misuse bots by auto downvoting.. they are sort of like automated trolls.. the scrouge of every site .. do not feed the trolls
What trolls , have you watched South Park by the way their whole season is about trolls , some bots too :D but not that much , It's a bit lacking for me , but there are some golden moments in there. I will spoil one for you a tiny bit , what would people do if they lost the internet and their phones: Go to the park and talk to one another, :D , oh yeah ave (long live) Caesar aaaam STeem :D
I never watch South Park. I know it is popular but just not my cup of tea. As for losing internet... bite your tongue LOL
Oh and thanks for the support , really appreciate it :)
HAHHA , well I'm having this feeling that because I'm spending so much time writing and commenting out of a sudden might be because I'm used to talking with a screen all day. :D
