I used to hate the idea that people could buy their votes and take a spot in trending... but then I realized it is just "paid marketing", which is how the internet world works... I'm still a little disappointed in it because I'm an advocate of authenticity and organic growth, but I can't fight against the grain. Although, I have yet to purchase any votes myself. Not sure if or when I will decide to do so. I'm still stuck just hoping that people will genuinely enjoy my content and it will flourish on its own!

Sadly, Steemit will only gain more voting bots until it is not profitable to do so. I also believe in gaining followers and posting content the natural way. I hope that things change for the better in the near future.
