@minnowsupport itself is a good cause. It's an effort to unite "small" users to strengthen their voice and support their growth. It is credible and legit.

There are obvious reasons why voting-trails and bot-voting could be disputed, but that's not what this is about.

This is about a human individual (or a group?) finding ways to cheat the game. The use of bots and trails is inherent to the way steemit is built, the fact that it's being abused is human.
