RE: Nah-ima-stay Positive 🙏 Thank You All 🤙

I once got upvoted by @gentlebot, how does that work, is it just random?

So I researched for min, and found this helpful post that talks about the bot. It seems @gentlebot randomly selects the highest quality comments (which I dig!) and then upvotes them:

Let me know if that helps or if we need a post about bots in general. 🤙 Cheers
Thanks, I am trying to understand bots... People seem to disagree about them.
Yeah I haven’t gotten into bots, but one gave me an award 🥇 or something for having the most comments in a post or something. Was in my “goodbye” post, I’m learning too, let’s all learn together 🤙
Bots can be good or bad and can serve many different purposes.
Almost everyone is against spam bots whose sole purpose is to earn money by writing low quality comments or posts repeatedly.
Some people disagree with paid voting bots. These are bots where you send them Steem Dollars in exchange for a large upvote.
Other uses of bots might include anti-spam measures like Cheetah, bots to run contests (ex photo contests, writing contests) or bots that will provide advice/upvotes to users on their first post. A bot can really do anything that a normal human could do on the platform - its only limited by the creativity of its designer.
I talked a bit more about various types of bots in a post last week. You can find it here
Awesome, I’ll check it out. 😎🤙
I would be curious how they build the bots. Very interesting.
It would be fun to learn some python (coding) and design your own bot...
