Despite the fact people think bots are taking over the site I don't think they are necessarily a bad thing.

Taking over steemit....yeah sure! That's really funny. Well some people just don't know what a bot is (like me a few months ago). It's always difficult to talk about something we don't have any idea about :-)

The bot won't change my voting behavior at all - it's more: I won't miss any of the posts from my favourite authors anymore. So the result is gonna be better than ever.
