RE: Re: Buying Votes = Infinite Profit
smart, why doesnt everyone do this? how did you cone up with this? and how do you plan on buying a bot? where do you go to get one?
also, does the amount of votes you buy effect the ROI?
Anyone can do it. The difference being some people actually choose to create content rather than use a bullshit approach like this.
And people often lose money when buying votes so I greatly doubt this person will make the profits they predict.
He won’t be buying a bot, just delegating. There’s a big difference.
Oh and don’t expect a reply. This person isn’t interested in interacting with people on the platform. He/she is just here for profit.
Hence my flag.
Lol get em Mazzle! Most people don’t actually write a post and draw attention to themselves when they decide to use bots as a revenue stream lol 😂
I didn't realize there was anything wrong with it? Is it against policy?
Nope it’s not against policy, it is however frowned upon.
So I wrote an article that has substance adds value and bought some votes for it. Hope this is more in tune with the community's views, and I'm sorry for doing the dirty without realizing it with this original post :(
Well done @mazzle. Is not just a bullshit approach but it's also a harmful one for the community and for the other users as well; not to mention promoting garbage content by buying upvotes. Is not necesarily bad buying few upvotes for some extra visibility, but turning it into a tactic... @mazzle, check the other comments in this section, many agree with this tactic in here, so i'm sure a flag to them would be a nice lesson to understand this is not acceptable . Glad to see someone stands up against this. Yoohooo!!
Hey Mazzle!
Steem is a solution built for content and incentivizes people to create and interact. You can see from my other posts I've created some that discuss a wide variety of topics, among them crypto and ICOs and management techniques. I'm here for the long haul - but when I tripped over positive ROI from buying votes I was overwhelmed by the opportunity.
Sorry you'd decided to flag, and I hope I haven't caused too much discontent here. Glad to write you back with your thoughts, though, this is my first post that has 1+ reply!
@hodlorbust, steem is a token/currency; the steemit platform is built instead to help the people incentivize other people for their content. That means, many users will incentivize others, and usually for good to great content. Which means, those ones would highly disagree for bad, plagiaristic or shady tactics promotion, and thus downvoting it. If you're here for the long-haul, then why do you promote bot abuse and pool raping through this post ?? Also sending like 50 SBD to jerry banfield's bot and tens of other sbd's to other bots doesn't help this platform neither the short or the long-haul. And simply using jerry's services harms this platform. He's a total douchebag and manipulator and a misleader. Yes you created other posts, and those may have been more fairly rewarded. But this one you just wrote is not one to go the same way mate. So if you dearly look for steemit to go up, just be the example you want to see mate. if you've been overwhelmed then you have to re-analyse what's going on; can't think with emotions here; be wise and responsible, cause many will read this crap (esp if it gets trending) and is all going to hell. And one is to see an opportunity, and another thing is to be greedy mate. Don't blame the alcohool for you having a car accident when drunk, if you know what i mean. If you feel that sorry for this, than you can dearly choose to cut the rewards on this post. Just go to it's settings/edit post and choose no rewards. This way you clearly set an example, and you clearly show you had no bad intentions. Then i'm sure @mazzle will remove his flag as well; we all make mistakes, and we all forgive if the person is willing to right the wrong.
I'm unaware of Jerry personally I was just trying to maximize utility. I am sorry, but if I'm willing to put $100s and over the next 52 weeks $10s 000s into STEEM then the only thing I'm doing is putting STEEM price up over the long haul. If I've found a loophole to turn crypto into more crypto I'd love to take advantage of that.. then shout it from the mountains.
Mate, if you have that much money to put into Steem then use it to power up your account. Then you'll truly be building a largely passive income stream in the crypto world.
Buying votes only leads to bot owners gaining more profit. Trust me on this, I've been around here a lot longer than you and have run my own tests.
Power up your account, that's the smartest approach.
Understood, and I may go that route but first I want to see if I can modify my plan to only include high-quality posts that add value and help people learn, grow or make decisions.
Thanks for your multiple comments and I'm sorry if I'd let you down with my original ignorance here!
we all make mistakes. Be careful with this new strategy. Your version of high quality could be very different to someone else’s.
Yeah, Jerry had tried as well to maximize utility, and many others as well. If you've found a loophole is one thing. Now if you use it to bring goods to you, but it demeans others, then that's not a right and fair way to get on with it . Try shout this from the mountains ;).
You need to be cautious when reaching the trending page. If the post is low effort, such as this one, you can expect to receive flags.
Also be careful when buying votes. The ROI is unlikely to be what you expect.
Just had a look at the payout calculations on steemworld - this guy might make about 0.25 STEEM profit....although somehow I kind of doubt it.
Exactly right. I hate these posts promoting voting bots. They only bring profit to the bot owner in the long run.
I will test buying votes and reporting ROI, I thought it was a valid use of the STEEM platform to report on this opportunity to others who are just coming aboard STEEM and might find it useful. Most of the folks here are attracted to earning money - here's a way to do it!
What you are proposing is scammy bullshit. You deserve to have the shit downvoted out of you.
It's not at all the way to do it. As you'll soon find out.
There's a few steps:
I actually started this process by buying a bunch of delegated SP hoping I could turn a profit with selling my votes to people, but that racket doesn't make $.
