Hi @joe.public, I created the bot tracker site featured here and I made it because I personally find that the upvote bots can really help new / small users grow an audience here more quickly.

For one, if you have some patience, you can get positive returns directly using the bots - which is what my site aims to show. But additionally even if you don't get a direct positive return from the bot's vote, it gets your post more visibility which gets you more real votes and more followers which I think will easily generate a positive return in the long run.
