Jeeves a bot that makes it impossible for humans to compete

Hi guys &amp; gals,

This is my first original post and I want to start by saying that I am not against bots in general. In my opinion bots that serve the community should be welcomed if they for example help us battle spammers, copy/pasters (that don't contribute anything original), etc.

But a bot that automatically votes on new posts does not give us (mere mortals) any chance to be the first on curating content. Not all of us have the &quot;know how&quot; or the time to do this.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the first person that votes for a post get a higher share of the curation rewards?

I'm pretty sure there are other bots that have the same function this is the first one that I've noticed.

But he's so sincere and friendly! Geez, I unchecked the upvote my post button when posting a blog  since it's only fair to give others a chance vote on it first. It's not really fair if a bot is voting on everything first.

By the way, I removed my own upvote to give others a chance on the curation rewards (if this rant ever makes any money)

It also loses its voting power when it spam votes, thus making its own vote essentially worthless.

I agree, I think for a system like Steemit to work the playing field MUST be fair and bots do nothing, but weigh it in favor of some and against others.
