When I first started here I had my suspicions. It's now very apparent that a lot of bots are posting here. Which in my opinion defects the purpose of Steemit. 

It was suppose to be a collection of people's experiences and knowledge. When I soon realized it was filled with auto posting programs I decided it wasn't worth it to post as much. I wasn't gaining a lot of steem so it wasn't a major loss for me.

I think that is why video and vlogging is very popular on other social outlets. You can actually see someone behind the camera.
