Good bots for beginners on Steemit
OK bots generally suck. They clog your comments, trick you into thinking they’re human, but there are some great bots on Steemit too. Here are a couple that are very good if you’re just starting out:
@Randowhale
You send it 2 SBD, it sends a large upvote of a random amount to your post. I found this bot very useful when a post of mine became hidden from a downvote. If all you have are wimpy minnow votes, use randowhale.
@Minnowsupport
This bot offers upvote services (like Randowhale but fixed rate). You can also rent SP. So if you want to quickly increase your influence, this is a great way. There is also a market aspect to this bot where people can invest their SP to be used in the SP rental service. Its a useful bot for sure, check it out.
@Gentlebot
Gentlebot picks replies to comments on posts and upvotes. Its votes at first were worth over $40. I got a vote recently from it for $1. It will only ever comment on a user once. They don’t mention criteria exactly, but the comment it voted for of mine was a reply to my own previous comment that had been upvoted by a friend. It’ll only happen once, but keep replying to comments and you’ll get an up vote.
@Goodbot
Goodbot comments on anyone using the introduceyourself tag more than twice. Its meant to shame abusers. The purpose of the tag is to make sure new people get a bunch of upvotes by being listed in such a popular and exclusive place. This bot won’t help you directly, but will help you the beginner stand out and get the attention you need.
@bottymcbotface and @welcomebot
These bots put a smile on your face and say hi when you do your introduction post. Of course me, like a dummy, did my introduction post completely wrong and missed out on these bots. I guess I have “introduceyourself” still in reserve…
There are lots of bots out there. Other great posts I’ve read about good bots, and bots that comment. Seems a controversial topic! But they’re not going away, we’re stuck with bots, maybe its worth exploring how they can be used constructively.
I personally am a big fan of bottymcbotface!
these bots can definitely help if you are a beginner with steem and want to get visible but in the long term I wouldnt invest too much into them if you have 300+ followers- with time people will start reading, comment and upvote if you make solid content - at least that is what steemit tries to be :)
