RE: Do the Ends Justify the Means
Generally speaking, I think the flags against those using bots are another form of "disagreeing with rewards" which is the number one reason to downvote something. The whole point of upvoting/downvoting after all is to influence how rewards are distributed. More rewards for bot operators and those who use them mean less for everyone else. In the case of potato/burn posts, it is perceived that those are helping the value of steem and/or SBD and are therefor helping everyone or at the very least that the rewards are not being used for selfish purposes. Also (AFAIK), those votes aren't bought. In the case of those that buy votes for profit, it is different. I would think the reasons would be obvious.
may the force be with you and all of your alt accounts
?
you may be interested in this post where votes were purchased and steemflagrewards + lots of others that flagged my post voted the post. How can they flag me and then vote a post for doing the same thing I did?

please remove your flags from my post or flag the other post or be proven a hypocrite
So I'm a hypocrite if I don't flag every single post on the Steem blockchain that uses bots? That's not practical or even possible, at lest not with manual curation. I'd never seen that post until you mentioned it but incidentally I did flag it as it did seem to be using bid bots to inflate its value significantly.
Good job, It has been a great light saber battle with you! The force is strong with you.
