RE: If you trail this secret account, you make more money as curator!
What's with all the bots I hear about. Are they voting bots? And how does the whole voting thing work?

Votes = money on steemit. So people have created bots to vote and make money. Steemit's voting system, while its intentions are good, is still very flawed and easy to game unfortunately.
Thanks for the info. I've even noticed that there are some automatic responses on my posts. And I think to myself "I want people's opinions, not algos"
You are actually correct, it is "easily gamed" but it is up to the Community if we let this go on or not. You see, STEEMIT is a grand experiment in Self-Governance, and we must all band together and police ourselves. If we cannot do this, Steemit might fail and for sure, an Anarcho-Capitalistic future takes a BIG HIT, as this is so far, IMO, the largest scale trial of Self-Governance I have ever heard of. We have our own Money (steem) our own society (Steemit) and our own government... oops, wait a minute! No Government! No Rules! (almost) and NO POLICE! Well, we do have @berniesanders as the Sheriff! 😉 He needs Help, though. We all have to do our part! You have a relatively large upvote, and OOPS, you have actually been here longer than my "main account" ☺️ But at least I stand by my anarchocapitalist comments, and really think that we DO need to self-govern.
Nice to meet ya @conspiracy-guy
