RE: To Bid or Not to Bid. That is the question.
Thank you for this helpful post. A lot of history I didn't know about!! I appreciate and have used @buildawhale. I'm a fan, y'all! Just one thing that I didn't quite understand. At the very end you said, "If you want to help steem grow, use @ipromote on good content. Not your own but others." I didn't quite catch the difference between @buildawhale and @ipromote other than the price.
I say use ipromote b/c it's minimum bid is .5 where as buildawhale is 3 SBD. Most people arent willing to use 3 SBD to promote another persons post. But .5 is more reasonable. Ipromote still qualifies for possible curation.
Ok, so you're saying @ipromote is a tool if you want to "bless" a friend and help them promote their account? I have a few friends I could imagine doing this with, but I know when I first joined Steemit, a friend of mine transferred $5 steem to my account so I can start promoting my posts. And when a friend of mine joined I did the same thing to bless them and get them going. Is there a reason why using the @ipromote tool would be better than doing what I mentioned? Just trying to learn here. Appreciate what you guys are doing.
That's exactly what I am saying. I actually use it more on people I do not know then friends. I think it can be used as an extension of your upvote to value good content.
Ahhh! I see. Nice.
By the way, on another topic, is there more information about how this "pre-votes" work for @buildawhale? Just wondering cause I promoted a post this morning, but I didn't seem to get any prevotes like it's done in the past, so just curious.
