RE: Put it away: Why to Power Up a little continually
The key value with voting Bots is to get in front of peoples eyes. That is the true value since Time and Attention is the true currency of our time. That will say it's only worth it if you have something real solid to promote. That will say a solid personal brand or something of legit value that people want to see.
People were boosting their posts 150 dollars (but not into trending) and had 2 views, including the one of me viewing it. unless boosting very high, there is little change in viewer count. Before they removed the little eye, a post of mine that had a 100 payout coming was not anymore likely to have more views than one with 10. The 'visibility' is not a valid argument as far as I have been able to observe.
Well just as advertising these days it takes around 20-30 times before someone will truly become a loyal follower. But yes boost for just something short term will of course never be of that much point. Same as if I upvote and support a person for months and then they go do some other thing then that was an investment where I lost it all. Since they stopped.
The future is targeted advertising like when you reply to someone in a comment. You can focus in on that specific person and create a niche reply that has a high likelyhood of success. Majority will clearly try to boost something and then quickly cash out since almost nobody knows how to build up a cool name. This Internet thing is still very new to people and it doesn't come with a manual for how to use.
