It is very simple. A bot with a high level of reputation (@minnowbooster, @ buildawhale, etc.) has a double role. First of all, it promotes posting on the hot page, but by giving a paid upvote it will increase your reputation. A upvote is an upswing no matter where it comes from. For reputation, the effect is the same as if a whale would vote for you.
