Thanks for reading my post. I feel the same way you do, supporting good content creators whether it be authors or photographers is what Steemit should be about. And the bot in question... the more you dig, the more shady it becomes! Unfortunately here on Steemit, most people will not take a stand and use their voice in fear of reprisal. I'll be around long enough to cause these players some heartache. In the meantime, you can find me on SteemThat.com
