RE: An Ugly Day in the Life of Crypto
@carlobelgado’s resteem of my post increased the number of “Views” by 50% and doubled the number of “Likes” that it had previously received. Not bad if your goal is to disseminate and try and reach a larger audience. I’d say that it brought this particular post the same exposure that the promotion of $20 brought, although the promotion continues to run it course still. That having been said, as a believer in organic growth, I wouldn’t recommend abusing the service. This is the first post I’ve ever promoted and I only did so because I’m passionate about the need to clean crypto up. Also, as I mentioned in my reply to Carlo, I think he should also be more selective so as to further add value to what he’s resteeming. In short, going by the limited metrics cited, I think it was well worth it, but this is obviously dependent on other, more subjective factors like the value of the post to begin with, the frequency with which you use the service (as I said before, abuse would not be recommended as it could backfire in the long run), etc.
Hope this helps, and thanks for asking.
P.S. I see that you have posted an article on the subject, and will repost this there as well. Also followed you!
