This is not a guide that everyone will follow but since not everyone follows the basic concept of steemit you might as well know some of the free tools that you can use to make free steem in the battle of the bots. I am not accusing anyone mentioned below as doing anything wrong just pointing out how their tools can be used together to make free steem with as many accounts as you feel like making all without having to ever log in and use the account other than to collect rewards.
I have been having a great time doing some Experimental Psychology here on steemit. There have been some very good findings so far and the basic consensus is everyone wants more steem power and those able to buy it do so but not everyone can.
There are some workarounds in place thanks to projects by some of our witnesses that allow every steemit user to take full advantage of making the most steem even from every disadvantage in place.
Curation rewards are supposed to be awarded to those who find great content. Sadly great content is buried by purchased votes on the hot and trending page. There is a workaround you can follow from day one if you want max curation rewards and not have to worry about putting in the work. Those buying the votes are not putting in the work so why should you lose out on free money as well.
You can track a small set of the bots that sell votes at http://steembottracker.com/ thanks to witness @yabapmatt as he tries to make the vote buying game as transparent as possible. That alone has earned him my witness vote and you may want to look at voting him too for that fact alone.
It is the work of @yabapmatt and a few other witnesses that I will get to in a minute that make this method of free Steem Power possible for anyone who feels like just sitting back on auto and collecting rewards. There are many people doing it and once you learn you can make the choice of a second account that also just does the same thing. Until we can beat them we may as well join them.
The next witness that we have to thank for this ability to gain free steem power is @mahdiyari who created steemauto.com where you can sign up as a minnow who does not have a slider and place scaled sized votes on any user you want even before you have earned your slider.
I am sure there are many other sites set up that do the same feature but these are the ones I picked because I have tested them out and they work just fine for the selected purpose of this post.
1st you look at http://steembottracker.com/ for a few days and make a list of all of the accounts that always place votes for every post they make or you can just watch trending page and pick out the crap post that have high payouts that don't deserve to be there to build your list.
Once you have your list you join steemauto.com and follow each of these users on auto vote for 10% 20% or all the way to 100% of a vote at either 28, 29 or 30 minutes to earn the max amount off of their post in curation rewards.
That's all you have to do to make max rewards off of those taking advantage of the system by having the money when they begin to buy votes. Stop worrying about fighting the bots and just collect the free money they are handing out. Do this on a new account, don't waste your personal accounts VP voting for these users let it be an automated account that just collects the free money, you can transfer that money to your main account later or put those funds to good use on a community project.
Now that you know how to make a free money making auto account I wish you all the luck collecting as the system allows. Everyone should be able to make max returns as is allowed by the system.
You can also use both of these site with your real accounts to follow those you wish to support and know which users to avoid as well.
Do you know another way to make free steem on auto-pilot? Please make a post and link it to the comments section.
