@bottymcbotface greets new accounts with a small tip. I know of another bot, one that, again, merely welcomes new accounts, but it's gonna take some time to dig that one up.

Great initiative! I recently realized that using bots to curate actually debases not only curation (and thereby Steemit) by injecting mere algorithms into human interactions, but also people, as that injection conflates those algorithms with the opinions and acts of sovereign people.

@liberosist recently posted a proposal to modify VP decay, and his proposal is designed to at least limit bots to the amount of curation people can do.

Clearly bots are useful tools. They are not people, and those tasks that only people are qualified to do, such as meaningful curation, shouldn't be undertaken by bots.

Robots can have my job. They can't have my rights.
