Is there a more precise way to compare real accounts vs bot accounts?

Views is inaccurate, it only records views on Steemit, if you use steemd, or steemdb, or other interfaces then the counter doesn't count your view.

Hmm... Should I vote or should I not vote... now there's the question.

I agree on a superficial level, but there's a part of me that says "yea well because it is not exactly hurting anyone let people keep their precious bots". And even I have another account that votes everything I do so I can't complain about it can I?

What's the point if having a bot?
Is this bot making money for you?
Why 1 bot and not 10 bots?

For me @ambyr00 is just another account, not exactly a bot. Since I didn't have any other use for it I let it upvote what I upvote, and a bit more. I also don't know why I should create 10 or 100 bots to do anything, nor am I a programmer I decided to not raise a bot army. ;)

So my "bot" isn't exactly a money maker, but more a placeholder or a spare account I have lying around if I need it.

All we need is an A.I. to write our stories and post;  then, the bots will vote for them.   At that point, this just becomes a magic show.
