Hello steem community!
I know what most of you guys are thinking right now, that upvote #bots are bad for #steem. Sure, simple examples like this one are probably bad.
However, @curator is a bit different. Instead of blindly upvoting an author, not matter the content, @curator tries to identify the posts that are trending, based on a few metrics (payout, votes, comments, time posted and title), and scores all the most recent posts. It then proceeds to upvote those with a score it deems 'high enough'.
Well, this is an experiment, and I'm sure I am probably not the first one attempting to reap the curation rewards this way. The bot usually takes between 8 and 12 minutes to take his decision on a post, and is usually in the earliest 10 upvoters.
You can check all the upvotes of the bot on steemd.com/@curator
Or more visually, this is how the 'hot' section of steemit looks logged in as the bot:
Do you think a human could achieve the same precision?
Do you still think bots are useless?
