Upvotes Bots
As noticed by steemian Asger Follmann (@initforthemoney), if you’ve been on Steemit for more than a few days, you’ve probably encountered some of the voting bots out there. Asger also described roughly how it works: 1) You send X amount of Steem Dollar (SBD) to some robot account. 2) In the memo field, you write the URL of a post or comment and 3) The post or comment gets an upvote and a comment from the voting bot.[1]
In October 5th, 2017, the steemian Yabapmatt lauched the site Steem Upvote Bot Tracker - https://steembottracker.com/ - that it tracks the status of 5 popular bid-based voting bots and highlights ones which are currently under-bid and nearing the end of the bidding cycle. It also suggests the max amount to bid in order to remain profitable.[2] After using the tool to got a list of all bid bots, the Steem witness The Marky Mark (@themarkymark) found how much STEEM Power (SP) was tied up in Bid Bots: 11.111% in June 28th, 2018.[3]
There is a list of the Steemit upvotes bots. They are not in a precise order and some bots are not in the list, please complete it.
