RE: I'm a Noob that Made A Guide for Other Noobs About Bots
Thx for the clear explanation!
When I did start to understand the bots my first opinion, which I’m still following, is to try to do it without bots. But they are so tempting to use.
Trying to skip the usage of them. I’m trying to build it with genuine comments and posting. Call me stupid but I do find the bots some kind of false play!
But to be honest I can’t promise that I will never use them!
Yeah, I mainly use them as a psychological tool. You know when you go to a store and something seems too inexpensive? Like, there must be something wrong with it for the price to be so low...I think that posts with no upvotes have the same effect. People skip by reading them because there are no prior upvotes. Also, I like to use them sometimes to make myself feel better...even if its paid LOL, I know that sounds lame and horrible, but I just want to keep motivated to continue on here since its so time consuming.
I look at Steemit like a game. It basically calls it that in the white paper. So to me bots are like cheat codes. Depending on how you look at it that can make the game more fun. The point you are making about people passing over good content because it has low vote amounts is true. It is tough when you put a lot of work into a post only to have it disappear into obscurity. Using Bots is also like paying for advertisement.
It is cool you made this post. I just used my first service. It was https://steemit.com/@boomerang
I sent 4 SBD and received and upvote of 8 SBD. So I feel like that was an amazing ROI. I don't know if the results are always that great but it was pretty damn good to me. I used it for this post here

I put a lot of hard work and time into that post and it would be a shame to me to see it go unnoticed.
Hey! Yeah the bots are good if you can catch them before the bids get filled, if you can its great. Thats why you should look at Steem Bot tracker and see how many people are putting money in before you vote. Most of them go into the negative though so you are paying more than youll get back. just gotta watch it ;)
It’s a new viewpoint for me. Like it! I do believe that the people first look at the rep. Never had the idea that they also would be influenced by the possible viewpoints. Thx the broaden my views.
Will come back when I do have enough voting power, went it little bit crazy today!
I totally understand, dont worry about it! :) I drain my voting power almost everyday it seems
As promised. Upvoted!
