I used to use bots for curation, but after a while I wasn't satisfied with the "set it and forget it" mentality.
The main point is that there is a rich experience to be had if you can follow the right Steemit users. You can make your daily news as diverse as you want to.
When EOS came out I shifted more towards following users like @sandwich and @joseph. Now I have shifted towards folks who write good quality posts often and retweet good quality minnows, the latter being extremely valuable for all parties involved.
@rubenalexander True true, the set it and forget it can become problematic especially when the humans start over filling their rules and loose track of their bots lol! Will check out your recommendations for sure, thanks man! :)
