This is an awfully long post to get through! But thank you as you are sincere in your words and I have already followed you from previous posts. I admire your conviction and need to be good, that's in fact what I most admire as I feel the same. However, even though it makes no change in how I use or interact with the Steemit community, I learnt that bots get sent around and do electronic voting for investors. It' seems very unfair not because I don't care what others earn, so that aspect is not a problem, the problem lies in the fact that manual curating, no matter how you apply yourself to this, won't cut the mustard when it comes to zillions of bots crawling over the site. It surely isn't fair to newcomers but I may be wrong in this. It's a pity, as it tarnished the shining reputation I had personally thought of in Steemit. As mentioned, I won't change my habits, good posts as far as I can, giving an uplift by humour or sending a positive attitude. My curation remains the same.  Sensible and random. I have favourites, I follow them, but hardly ever look at that list as I'm too busy following what's on the daily lists. Happy Steeming.
