[Steemit Etiquette] Using 95+ Bot Accounts to Upvote your own Content. Fair Game or Not Cool?

Good point and if anyx really has a good intent, he should directly hit the topic that he made a bot to upvote his posts. So he don't need to have any excuse and as I can see he did this not only once but many times before.

Yep, I was experimenting to determine if the hot algorithm was game-able.
I did bring this to attention in my post where I discuss how crazy stupid sybils currently are. It's an important topic! I encourage you to read the sybil section in that post if you have not, yet.
I admit to it in my post:

if I want to upvote with all my VESTS, I cause a sybil attack and can immediately start trending on hot (it is quite silly)

I also responded to william banks explicitly saying I upvoted myself 100 times. (Ridiculous, right?)
