Yeah, it's such a conundrum. I mean if I look at it as a way to say 'hey look at my post what do you think' to get to trending I think that is a positive thing. I mean, don't we all like to share our stuff. For me it would be for exposure to garner followers who LIKE my stuff, not just a way to generate some random money (Even though I don't think you really earn it back) So, it's tough because maybe just seeing more grey in life I think, why not give every shot you got, but it seems some people see it differently or see bots differently.

I think I will go back to not using them for a few posts then decide if there is a good one and give it a shot. I could always star that post with TRIGGER WARNING: Bot's might be used on this post! ;) Who knows?

It's a great silly wonderful world full of arbitrary rules and we are all just fumbling along trying not to run over one another :)
