RE: UpVote Experiment #002 - UpVote'em All!
Isn't an unengaged upvote just as bad as a spam one?
Doesn't a bot like this just encourage empty votes without any of the social value attached that Steemit actually requires?
Aside from that, thanks for sharing the code. Good to see a python library already out for Steem.
I agree. Even i know nothing about the steemit engine, and how much space it takes such content-ignorant upvotes + comment, still to me it looks more like a new way of spamming.
I may be wrong, though. I'ts just my subjective opinion.
Oh I agree with what your saying. The only "auto upvotes" I do are for a select number of authors who I trust. I am just running this once for the experiment otherwise I don't use bots anyway. I will also being looking through where my comments ended up out of curiosity, maybe ill land a couple potential great authors 😉. You should write a full post on your thoughts about this experiment and the overall use of bots, might be a good read.
Maybe I shouldn't have shared the code? lol
Thank you very much I have just been upvote by your bot
Much love
You da bomb!!
Potential new authors you say? You know when I first seen your bots message it looked a bit like spam if I'm being honest, hopefully it was lucky for both of us that I read before I assume ;)
NOT ALL BOTS .. are 'created' equally !! - ))
and, YOUr'S .. is a FUN little BOOST .. thanks !! - ))

Still don't fully comprehend how all of this works, but I appreciate the help you are providing. I can tell you are diligently trying to make this environment the best it can be!
There is a python library, but @blueorgy is not really using it. :)
I'd highly highly recommend using the "official" library. Piston, which is used in the code above, is abandoned, I believe.
