I wonder if it is practical to compile a database of info on posts with and without the bots, to try and control for factors and determine how much the "tip jar effect" is worth on Steemit.
Ultimately, even if we had the answer, it would be changing all the time.
Yeah, I think that data would be useful, but trying to figure out how to calculate it. So many bots out there, and some are part human part bot.
