The funny thing about vote bot-upvoted posts, is that it often leads to genuine votes, not because the people think it's the best content, but because they are trying to be strategic with their curator rewards; there is supposed to be some maths regarding the more popular a post is, the more curator rewards you get by upvoting it too, I think; it also depends on WHEN you upvote it. I am not sure how it all works to be honest. But I wish people would just genuinely upvote what they LIKE or want to support. All of that coattail-riding seems like a high school popularity contest to me, just with money! 😂

Thanks for the explanation! I do agree with you; in a way it's like the very early days of MySpace where it was all about "who can get the most friends, fastest." It seemed silly, because none of these people EVER interacted.
So, NOT my approach here. In fact, I am increasingly a supporter of the #nobidbot initiative; If you can't make you content stand in its own through your own social proof efforts, then it doesn't deserve the rewards. UNLESS you legitimately PROMOTE it via the @null account.
Of course, that's just my opinion.
