I've been railing about the bots since my minnow was two weeks old. If you're not in the auto-curate fraternity, it is really hard to gain traction on steemit. Earnings will be slightly off today for steemians who anticipate $300 payouts for every piece of content they put up.
Take a look at the payouts in the "Hot" and "Trending" tabs, off by a ton. No votes being cast.

So many daunting facts are being realised every day.
I recently saw that most people with the most SBD generated it themselves by self upvoting.
Now, Charles, you have told me that 70% of the upvotes on the site are by bots haha
I don't know if it should be something we should be concerned about but the only thing I can think of is that people's content is not really rewarded as it should be. We should be rewarding those who make superb content and not just let a bot automate upvotes on posts that may just purely be spam or copy and paste.
Also this probably also leads to most of the rewards pool being designated by buts which are not the greatest thing in my opinion.
Thanks for the information @stackin

Bots make curating a lot easier. Everyone wants to get good curation rewards so they tend to curate the highest paying authors with Bots. Of course having those authors get Bot votes means that they will continue to be even higher paying authors. Pretty much all of the high paying authors get Bot votes from people that are trying to do curation and therefore they end up in a never ending circle that results with the highest paying authors getting the highest votes and the lowest paying authors not getting any bot votes. In this respect it is an unfair system but nothing can really be done about it as far as I can see until you manage to become at least somewhat of a established author.

I'd love to see the use of Bots banned. Full disclosure I'm happy to get a bot vote at the moment, but it really is just a distortion of quality. If Steemit is going to be a force in the Social media world promoting good content it certainly needs to address this behaviour.
I personally think these bots are just a money making venture for the bot owners.
Everyone that delegates is basically allowing that bot to gain higher curation rewards which are then invested back in that owners name. All in the name of community building.
The system as it stands, you have to play the right game to win, but I'd much prefer to see it changed for the betterment of the entire community and the integrity of steemit as a whole.
