RE: [Steemit Etiquette] Using 95+ Bot Accounts to Upvote your own Content. Fair Game or Not Cool?
Apart from getting you into the "hot" area, is there any other benefit? Can those bot accounts get you more money if they vote after something has trended?
Yes there is another benefit: Bait Dolphins and Whales to vote for you, because they assume high support from a lot of (poor) users. After all, the vote count is quite prominently placed below your post.
Both of these effects together will indirectly help you to increase your payout! This post would probably not have achieved this payout if @anyx had not upvoted it with his bot army.
