Hi @alexpmorris! Thanks for that valuable comment.
Bots are an unavoidable part of Steem. Bots are part of life and are very prominent in everything computer related.
That being said, nobody will put a bot on someone who isn't successful and this will only become truer as time progress and the number of exceptional content creator pass the tens of thousands.
Also all of the top shareholders which are the highest paying votes don't use automation and most probably never will.
Ironically, so far steemit is one of the few places I really haven't used them! I've got them all over the place for my trading platform, keeping things running smoothly. Soon the AI bots will be taking over everything, maybe even our love lives... lol
Regarding YT, our channel vlogolution had nearly 100,000 subs on YouTube (when that still meant something) with some pretty decent revenue. However, in 2011 our best viral videos were knocked down (again) and YouTube Support decided that it was no longer "appropriate" for the site (ie. we disagree with your politics). One video alone had over 30M+ views! Our new videos were often quickly flagged and not easily remonetized. Our monthly revenue collapsed down to literally almost nothing. We've been searching for our ideal "censorship-resistant" alternative ever since.
If you're interested, I went on a mini-rant with more detail about it here (in the comments on this fb image):

I guess I should probably also do an introducemyself post at some point. lol
That was also one of the nice things with YouTube that I'm hoping steemit can work out eventually... The ephemeral nature of posts. On YouTube, you hit a "viral video", and it could generate decent revenue for you for years to come (until they demonetized you or knock it down completely). Adding some sort of advertising or sponsored posts may certainly help towards that goal.
Wow! 100,000 subs! I tend to think it's still worth something. I just checked your comment on facebook and I really feel like you should check the video below if you keep being demonetizing but there's no ultimate solution to youtube fascist still the video which might look like nothing at first but I feel like it's super fitting for the situation.
It got so bad that we basically stopped completely, and while a title like "I'm out of toilet paper" can be considered a bit risque (that was our biggest video), our tags and titles were nothing like what he's talking about in his video. And YT didn't just demonetize it, they blocked it completely. At which point, even all those views disappeared from our channel. And remember this was back in 2011. In the past year alone, it's gotten worse than ever not just on YT, but across all major social media. Which, of course, gives steemit an even greater opportunity to really hit it out of the park.
