Hi @sethlinson, thanks for the reply. That makes a lot of sense!

I've done a bit of research and a few posts on upvote bots before, and I'm firmly against how some of them can profit at the expense of users who are not familiar with how the payout system works. I agree completely with what @honestbot is trying to achieve, and think it's a necessary next step for upvote bots.

I'm low on SP now, but am thinking of investing some Steem into the platform, so expect to see some delegation from me in the short future!
