RE: The Irony Of Plagiarism/AI-Translated Text vs High Upvotes
How much does one pay for such an upvote?
I believe it depends on the sellers, some sell at a fixed price, some other are more flexible but always a minimum payment. This is not new in Steem.
So it's good to close a deal with the seller?
I don't really know. It the past I tried several times and in my opinion based on those experiences it is not worth doing it. Not to mention that sometimes they just "forget" to vote and you just cannot reimburse. But let's see from the above picture, this account pays 102 STEEM for 100% vote, and get in return the vote of as much as about 50 to 60 STU, plus the curation trail that follow which is not so much, the buyer will have about 60 STU in payment.

The payment breakdown will look like this picture below. 170 STEEM + 170 SP, deducts 50% curators' rights = 70 STEEM + 70 SP, with a capital of 102 STEEM, isn't that very interesting? It makes about 40 (STEEM + SP) in total in one transaction.

Are you interested? 😁😁😁
Unfortunately, the values on Steemit are not correct. I am working on a suggestion for correction.
Please check Steemworld under posts for the correct amounts. The author gets about 120 SP (60 SP + 60 STEEM). That leaves around 20 SP profit. With SBD it would be even more (depending on the price).
The curators only get SP.
Yes, it was a simple calculation, 😃 thanks for correction.
