Totally agree the bots are destroying this platform. Something should be done by the developers and/or witnesses to make this a more meaningful platform where humans are actually interacting not just bots automatically upvoting and commenting. I see posts with 6 views but already have 48 upvotes. How the hell that happen if not for the bots... ?
are bots able to upvote a post?
yeah. there are private ones and public sites like SteemVoter where one can setup a list of accounts to auto-vote on.
