Great work, @paulag!
The concept of powering down in order to be able to buy more votes feels somehow strange to me. That actually says a lot about the situation on Steem. 10% of all Steem earnings going to bots doesn't seem very much. If I had to guess, I would have probably given a higher number. I'm surprised to see that the bots make almost 30% of all curations rewards! By vote value, they make up around 25-30% of all votes. Given that votes before 30 mins give a share of the curation rewards to the author and later votes 'lose' some curation rewards to previous voters, making it to almost 30% is remarkable in this context!
