I really rather not use the bots, but just like everything there's pros and cons. Pros getting more views and potentially attract people who are interested in your blog. I have tons going on, and I also put plenty of time on my post. Cons, you need to use bots to get attraction :( lol I have been part of this community for some time and is easy to get lost in the mids of everything. Worst yet see all the non sense doing a lot better. But that's the way the cookie crumbles. I love Steemit and I'm here for the long run... Thank you :)
