Using bots isn't criminal but somehow I wasn't ever inclined towards it. I don't even like the idea of upvoting each and every comment of your own because if you have a big upvote, you are using it all on yourself and not giving anything to the community. Helping each other grow was one of the foundations of Steemit and if we just keep selling our bots and thinking about ourselves, we will surely behave like that king's son. Great post btw! Resteeming it.
