It's getting tricky, some are now 100% manual curation, and some are using their spare votes to curate. It's hard to tell which is which unless you look the the author's wallet.

Smartsteem and OCDB are now 100% manual.

That's why I started writing "no paid vote additives" at the end of each post. I just want the consumer to know I'm not purchasing votes. If they don't believe me, the blockchain doesn't lie, so they can look there for proof. It should be the other way around. Those purchasing votes should be declaring the fact their post is a paid promotion.

I think in some cases they are trying to muddy the waters by giving huge upvotes to anti bid bot people. Exhibit A, this blog. I think it's a round about way of trying to bribe you into silence.

Do you think I'm being trolled by a bidbot? I just noticed what happened there. Kinda funny.

Can't say for sure, but it's been happening. I didn't see any wallet memos where someone paid for that bid.
