RE: If You Use Upvote Services Please Read These Two Posts
I had to stop using bots the minute i realized all of this. sure, it made my blog look deserted, but it's better that way than being seen as what you're not. not to mention the loses incured whenever steem drops in value.
It is true, blogs look deserted without the whale support and if I didn't have people backing me I would probably earn 2-3$ on every post. The point is, if you go through the platform and meet people, comment on other people's posts (genuine comments, not the "nice post" kind) sooner or later you will get others around you; on the condition that your content is of value.
And as you can see, certain communities reward the effort and time someone spends on their posts. So, as long as there are such projects, we should try to keep the value of the platform high. :)
