RE: 4 Types of bots: Bid, Info, Curation, Community. (almost 5k followers!!!)

You left out the resteem bots. Similar to the vote bots, but they resteem instead of (or as well as in some cases) upvote. I think they form the potential for a very interesting solution to a common problem. Namely, that categories can't be followed in a feed, only people.

A resteem bot that was and, say, resteem-politics, and just auto resteemed every post with that as a first tag could then be followed to always follow political posts regardless of who made them. I'm about 75% done with such a bot, just have to shell out the cash to make a few sub-accounts and start testing it.

Figured I'd start small, a few high profile categories, and then move up from there through a few votes on which category to do next.

How do you plan on funding it? Will you post comments in the stuff you resteem?

That was my plan. For 2 reasons. Funding as well as unsubscribe. I don't want to be spammy, so I want to give them the options of:

  • Upvote comment for support
  • ignore and enjoy for free
  • Reply to the comment with UNSUBSCRIBE (post author only) and no future posts by that author will be resteemed or commented on.

Bravo, brilliant!
