Me too. I like bots, and I think down-voting/flagging is mostly harmful to the platform, even when it may be deserved by the individual.

I am grateful for the steemwhales service, though, and I can definitely understand being unhappy about losing credit for the French language translations that were ported to Golos.

I have mixed feelings about games like steemsports. They're useful and valuable, but doing them through social media is a kludge. Hopefully , in the long term, someone will create a real steem prediction market so they can find a better home.
