You saying it demotivates creators from creating.. but see before this downvote movement thing, I already had a fear of abusing bots and getting downvotes. I was under the impression that as long as you weren't obviously upbidding ALL your posts, posting 5 times a day bidbotting them all - and worst of all posting just memes or posts with a few sentences in them..

I don't even self-vote, but I want to use as much potential for earning as I can - and since shittier posts are being bid-botted up to whale votes from the bot, I feel like I at least need the bots minimum vote to compete and again, use up my earning potential.

Maybe my posts aren't interesting to some but I spend time writing, editing, and then networking within my communities and followers for my posts to get support. I work hard trying to grow here, I feel a bot vote here and there is justified on my work.

It's like, if they aren't entirely outlawed, then anyone who doesn't use a bot is giving themselves a disadvantage against those who are using them.. know what I mean.

My content would be my content here or any other platform. Only twice have I posted twice in a day and I think the most active posts I had at once was 10 for a day, I struggle to even keep 5 active posts up When I post it's to produce my best work, not just to use on a bid-bot.. But I dunno this is just my story but that's what I mean by the poison that blindly downvoting can do.. everyone has their reasons and not ALL users of bots are using them in a way that should be seen as abusive in my opinion...

☺ Kharma, i know what youre doing and its ok. I did the same thing. Some soft manipulation to draw attention. Hehe. 
Just keep up your work and try your best. Buy some steem to increase your influence. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders.
I see traf noticed you as well. 

The bidbot thing. Stay away from it. You dont need the stigma. Gl. 😉

[**Spoiler:** there is a part of this reply where I say
`And as you see, I love to talk/type/write LOL.. Sorry.. 🙄` so sorry in advance for rambling but, I only ramble to those I'm interested in speaking to .. soo buckle up and sip some tea?!]

Do you consider SBI a form of vote buying/bot voting? Personally, I love SBI and IMO @steembasicincome is the top project steemians should invest their STEEM in, next to Splinterlands cards (and again this is just my opinion)((I'm neglecting to mention powering up because that's already a given..))

How do you feel about auto-upvoting - in the context of being on people's auto-vote rules, and also the context of being someone who follows curation trails with an auto-vote or puts an author on auto-vote??

I'm genuinely curious !

---

Thank you btw, your reply was completely unexpected to be honest, I thought you were totally going to ream me out & put me on your downvote watch list when I threw myself under the bus admitting to using bots and not being sorry about it LOL -

So bare with me as I do some shameless promo?
One of my posts got a treat of **100%** vote out of nowhere from **KevinWong** one day too .. that was my first whale vote and it felt great! I think he attracted some other decent voters to the post too!

Oh and @qurator curated me the other day and I was featured in @ocd's daily curation post, and that attracted some good votes too.

Stupidy though for one of those posts I decided to test out how @tipu was post-HF - as it was one of the bots I always used on a new post before the HF.

So **tipu** voted and then came along someone who was trailing tipu's upvotes - blindly downvoting a few bot trails..
hence my angst towards auto-downvoting.

The content this person tarnished with their downvote ( a broken heart icon on steempeak, very fitting ) was 'great' according to the community commenting on it, was my top earning post organically at this point, and maybe thanks to a followers re-steem the post attracted the attention of a whale vote for the first time..

but then this random person comes to downvote it and although it didn't do much damage, it offended me and I was very upset that someone was using downvotes so irresponsibly! Odd thing is this downvoter used to be a bid-bot?! Anyways, I requested in a comment to them that I be put on a whitelist, pled my case, got no reply and no idea if they listened however they haven't downvoted me again, I'm kinda tempted to use tipu again though just to see what happens in regards to them.. I'm just a twit/troll like that though LOL

I was stupidly proud of myself though when my posts started getting curated by the top curation communities.. but I can't let it get to my head because I know that I won't appease majority of the masses and might not have the potential to be influential here.. these days people are all `TL;DR!` on the internet - even in places where you're expected to read, people don't want to read..

And as you see, I love to talk/type/write LOL.. Sorry.. 🙄 Almost done I promise.. (Trust me, I already spend a lot of time editing just to cut out content and reword things to make them shorter.. imagine how much I originally had :o )

I still don't think my content is good enough though, and that kind of demotivates me a smidgen some days..

I have tons of drafts saved on SteemPeak because I am too shy/embarrassed to finish them up because I feel like I can't write interesting enough things and that bothers me because I **love to write** and share my _#unpopularopinions_ with the world.. I'm trying to improve with each post though!

It's too bad I couldn't earn like my whale posts did, consistently - maybe one day, but for now my goal is just to grow every week; in follower count, SP amount and every week I take part in an [Engagement League](https://steempeak.com/engagement/@kharma.scribbles/how-did-i-engage-this-week-wk3) so my short-term goal there is to break into the top 10 and my end game goal would be to de-throne the 4 time champion @tattoodjay one day!! 🙏
