I have blacklisted @mrswhale. Check out #botreviews to get opinions on bots and which are liked or not.

Thanks, will do! Still not sure about using bots though. I just want to understand the hows and whys... it seems like a new form of advertising.

I can't make a list of all the bots: @originalwork is one of them. Another is@originalcontent. Both are free ( i think).
Easy to deduct what they do but take a look and think for yourself if they could do steemit any wrong. Because a vote-4-vote or pay-4-vote system is not 100% OK.

Thank you! I totally agree. It then turns into another form of advertising - just under a different name...
