Tnx for this. It is helpful. I am still in doubt to use bots or not because we are responsible how is steemit going to work. Using them we are encouriging to bots become dominant and important, but I din't think that corelates with the idea of good content getting recognized and eventualy get some earnings on that quality
To be honest now since few days i also make usually 2 posts. For 1 i use bots still but for the another post not.
I think the main problem is that more and more people wanna just earn here so they are not curious about the posts. The important for them is just that they have the votes on they own. Thats why it is so so hard to reach the people. But if they see a post with few dollars already than they will follow u they will also vote. Most of the time the reason is because they wanna earn as a currators.
But also i think that the system also need the people like these because just with content creators there will be less trafic and the vallue of the sbd will fall. Maybe i am wrong but this is what i think.
I am sure it will be easier if there will be a friend list.
So basicly in everything good there is something wrong and in wrong things there is also good.
