Great info @bycoleman. I have decided to more thoroughly follow your posts, especially the ones on bots, as I like the way you try to (it seems) have a neutral take on it and more of a journalistic one, which is hard to find.
I also want to add that although I am still quite new on Steemit, I have been doing what a lot of veterans proposed, which is, for example, sincerly commenting by first reading someone's post, and also by adding something of value each day (or at least try to). No one can add great content all the time, so it is expected to have better days and also worse days. I am yet to investigate bots, and to consider if I want to use them, although I feel it is essential on Steemit to at least use them to some degree.
Bottom line for me is to be active, be transparent and be willing to add value without compensation. Steemit is a live community which means there is wonderful opportunity for relationship - something that will always and forever have the best chance of delivering good harvest!
Thank you for the follow and kind words.
I believe your proposed plan is perfect. Curating and commenting is much more effective early on than trying to post a lot of content no one will see. You really have to gain a bit of a following before you put a lot of effort into your own blog. Of course if there is nothing in your blog, then there is nothing to follow.
It is a balance.
Blessings!
You are right, I have spent some time on a post here and there and the trade-off is not even at equilibrium yet so I will rather work on followers and gaining favour, and continue to learn how to create better content. But yes if there is nothing in your blog, then there is nothing to follow
I think bid-bots are cool thing here but they should not be misused to promote some low quality post. Quality is the key. Without maintaining quality one can not go very far away in steemit world. Here everything is transparent in this amazing world of steemit blockchain. One can see how much someone has pay to promote his/her post. Hence, low quality but high grossing post can be noticed by the community and they may even be flagged. So, proper care is needed for all this.
I really agree with you. There is a great deal of abuse occurring by the minute with these hired voting machines. If they were gone completely the platform would certainly be a more level platform.
There is a bot in the works to address some of this.
Great work, I definitely feel that this sort of article is the one that should be getting $100+. Are you on discord/steemit chat? i.e a private chat service, I'd appreciate a second opinion on something
Thank you for the very kind words and support.
No sorry, I have no resources left in me to spread out to discord.
If it is not private, you are welcome to post it here.
Blessings!
No worries, I'm only signed up to it for the Gina bot updates.
Now's obviously not the time :)
As much as I grumble about this Bid-bot activity, it's starting to actually look like a semi-decent idea. Lord knows Minnow-Booster has been virtually dry for the past three weeks or so, and my naive hopes of getting semi-reasonable payouts based on research quality and thoroughness of articles (in other words, by generating page views on Steemit the same way I would on any other site, but getting a penny or so in the jar every time someone hits the "like" button) are dying a horrible death as this platform becomes guided by "let me like the ones that I can make money for liking, or the ones by people who liked mine."
It is a viscous cycle indeed. The only way to get noticed with any type of certainty is to pay to play. That in of itself it not evil, what is, is that pure trash can peculate to the top.
I believe at this point it is fine to use it to get a little visibility for quality work, if viewed as a form of advertisement budget, since there is very little alternate when you are getting started.
Smartmarket seems to have a little more voting power these days.
Blessings!
FUR'd! Great info. I noticed that those who were in your list in earlier posts ago are now nowhere to be found. Perhaps this series of yours is slowly changing the landscape of our platform. You have my full support @bycoleman.
Thanks as always!
I'm not sure, they will probably be back next week. There is another bot in the works to help with this issue.
Hope someday my article showed by you. Please keep sharing us.. Thanks so much
Much success and many blessings!
With bid-bots , must of the newbies are the ones that suffers cus we come in here with out money to buy vote for ourselves and it's deficult to get vote even for a quality post you do when every one is busy buying votes for thier post..
I wish the was a way to moderate the use of it
Artikel anda sangat luar biasa,
Saya ingin belajar dari anda ? Apakah ada tutorial atau artikel anda tentang steemit ?
Mohon dibagikan
It's funny to see the bot operators "paying" their own bots... lol.
I guess that's the ultimate legitimisation for self-voting? Because you pay yourself to do so?! chuckles
Pretty much every bot operator pays their bidbot for either upvotes back to themselves or of course delegate their SP to the bot. There is just a lot of money circling around with these things.
I really don't think they add any value whatsoever to the platform, but who am I to say. There here to stay, it is just pay to play.
unfortunately that has become the norm!
So for those who can’t pay for Bots, how likely is it to do well on Steemit? I understand quality of content is important but it seems like it’s nit exactly enough. Does Steemit have an algorithm like other platforms? Or is it mainly whomever pays more / combined with good content, is the most successful? Lol sorry for all the questions
