RE: Bid-bot activity report -- 04/01/18 - 04/07/18. Who's paying the most to promote their articles?

in #steemit7 years ago

Granted! I probably would not have the followers had I not run contests that I promoted or wrote articles that I promoted. I truly agree, it is not easy to get started here. If one uses the tools especially the non-bots and resteem services to get a little boost, then there is likely no real impact to the rewards pool. IMHO, sending many hundreds to bid bots is often driven by greed without regard to the platform.

It is all a personal decision at this point. Money of course will dictate both short term and long term, for better or worse.

I agree entirely. As long as there's content such as yours providing analysis such as this then there will be hope, more importantly there will be accountability. Thanks again.

I like the analogy to Facebook usage and postings. The normal user on FB (not purchasing paid ads) just mingles, adds friends, comments, likes posts, etc. One can spend a few minutes or many hours a day on that platform.

On Steemit, that avenue is available also -- the organic expansion of friends/followers and discussion on topics of interest. But with the ancillary "game" going on of using multiple accounts and bid bots to actually make money, there seem to be two counterproductive currents in the same river.
