MinnowBooster Update: Automated Upvote Buying is Officially a Breach of MB Terms of Service



Hello to all the minnows, dolphins, whales out there. We never thought things would come to this, but it appears automated buying of upvotes has increased dramatically in the recent weeks, perhaps months.

We have known for a while about "botting" - a term, which we have used for automated vote buying from us. But the scale of things, when digging deeper, surprises us. Thousands upon thousands of requests by bot owners, to buy upvotes.

We understand, that due to the popularity growth of Steemit, the demand for visiblity has also grown and even quite significantly, one could say. This, in turn, has reduced the availability of votes, that Minnowbooster can offer. So, user's might think - "why not use a bot for bot"? Let us clarify:

Minnowbooster is a bot, but we are a service for minnows, valued authors and a tool for visibility, not a field of easy profits. By hammering us with thousands of requests, botters make the situation with the availability of votes even worse, reducing other code-privy individuals to starting up their own automated vote-buying bots, which in turn creates another cascading snowball effect.

While it is probably true, that some of these thousands of requests are not malicious, hammering us with such an amount of unnecessary requests is not Ok with us. By reducing the availability of the votes for the customers who actually need or deserve them, you harm our clients and our business. And here we have to step in.

This is not a punishment - by blocking botters from our service, we have seen already an improvement on server performance load on our RPC nodes, better availability of votes, which all results in better business.

We urge people to use common sense when using our service. Steemit is a community for all and we will do our part to help the actual authors, who deserve some more exposure.

Keep in mind if you are caught botting your account will be banned and @MinnowBooster will no longer support your service requests, please take a moment to review our terms of service in regard to this activity.

As always we appreciate your understanding and support and are committed to making MinnowBooster a service exclusively focused on helping minnows grow!
