Thank you for the offer of help two months ago when I was a complete noob. I finally have a question. Someone replied to my latest post with
This post has received a 20.00% upvote from @[username]!They had indeed just done a 20% upvote (with 150 SP), and I see they've done the same thing recently to many other bloggers. Why would they do that? I understand about spam to promote a service, but the person isn't offering any kind of service; and why include their own @[username]?
Hi @yawnguy. I will admit this seems like a bot account which has chosen your post to upvote, or a bot found your content particularly interesting and upvoted. I will admit there are a lot of questions I still have regarding how bots operate on this platfrom, but I will say from experience I had similar things happen, my content was chosen by a bot as high quality for example and upvoted

You can send some bots (take @treeplanter for an example or that ninja bot) some money (SBD) and a URL to vote on. Then a comment like the cited one is left. The curation reward is shared between the voting bot and the user who issued the vote as far as I know.
