RE: SMARTSTEEM and why this is the best tool I have seen so far to grow organically
Hi Oups thanks for your message. I agree personally I do not wish that. For bid bots I agree you only can afford them if you’ve invested previously or you are doing really good with the blogging part.
For the part related to Smartsteem I would say, not necessarily, as you see you can “lend” your upvote. For the buy upvotes part, you only can pay a small amount, not more than 0.3 SBD. I don’t see this fits you your mentioned scenario.
If we are worried we should make our vote to have power when voting for Witnesses, @yapbamatt is full in with the bid bots, while @therealwolf has a more sustainable solution while attending those looking for a market.
I see you are active in Utopian, personally I love that community. I wish I could program more than a few lines to provide anything useful over there. I see the real added value in that kind of projects and not in a gambling low quality bidding game. @aggreoed is someone also we should listen more, he is also concerned with the rewards pool reaping.
Thanks for detailed information, as I said before I'm not against it. Bots can be used as an advertisement asset, people who wants to grow their account faster and make money from it can use it bots as an investment but in the meantime some of those devs needs to help other part of the community who wants to stick around, enjoy good content, communicate idk this kind of stuff. Yet I didn't see any particular attempt for it. Maybe I'm just missing, maybe it's still in progress somewhere.
I agree that not many devs are looking beyond their own pocket, and for that matter, bots are the biggest profitable thing. You sell your vote for a 90% of its price, if not more, and then re-invest the revenues into making your value even larger. Long time we are just feeding the Whales into been futures Leviathan no one will be able to tame. At the same time the ROI for investors bidding is null or even negative.
