I have used bots and don't think they are unethical. It is a means to getting more views on your work and possibly earn more Steem in the process. It is nice that you haven't needed them. It does take a lot of work and determination to continue creating good content and building a community while getting very little compensation. Those that are able to do it will enjoy a more fullfilling experience here on Steemit.

I agree that bots could be used to put more eyes on your content, but I feel sometimes people go into it relying on these bots, and forfeit attempting to build relationships and form a community. I'm not anti-bot really, just pointing out that the platforms main focus should be on content and building relationships - which in turn would be very beneficial down the road as a content creator if you stick with it.
