RE: Transparency Bot -- A good thing until YOU get caught! - a tale of woes
I dont mind idea behinf @transparencybot but comments that it leaves are just awfully long and in my opinion this is one of the biggest problem with bots.
Using them is a MUST if you want to ensure that your followers and curators will be upvoting your posts. They need to feel that it's worth it. And they make comment section look like a mess.
As a user (whenever I read other people posts) it annoyes me more than it helps me. I think it would be great if this bot would leave short comment with link to "more details" for those who actually care.
And guess what, I earned it back in spades. Got all my money back in SBD and over 9 SP on top of that.
That's very lucky of you. It's not that easy to earn on bots since demand is quite high and once there will be more members on steemit then it will be only harder.
So I did the only thing any logical human being would do -- I totally panicked. I was like, "What if people SEE this?" I totally wanted to downvote it! And then I was like, "That's lame. Don't be lame. They're doing a good thing."
Solution is simple. DO NOT USE BOTS within first 2-3 days at all.
Let people engage, comment, reply to their comments. Make sure that there will be number of genuine replies and only then use bots. 2-3 days after post is published hardly anyone will bother.
Probably going to create a bigger and bigger gap between the rich and the poor, and have little left in the way of voting power for the little people.
It depends on us. We need to learn to give and receive. Im using bots and I will be using them. I want my curators to get rewarded and if I make some $$$ then Im planning in the future rewarding personally those who engage the most with me by sending them some % of earning.
Those are my thoughts :)
Sounds like you have thought about it a lot. I appreciate hearing your perspective. I like hearing other people's approach to the issue.
Indeed. Im a social media marketer and I undestand that 90% (if not more) influencers / marketers and regular people keep making same mistakes: they care about getting new followers and do not maintain current follower base.
So we should make sure that all our curators are growing along with us. If I use bots and their rewards will be worth something then it will help them grow. And helping our follower base to grow is a must. Without using bots I cannot achieve it.
For that reason Im using them at least 1 day after I publish my post. Also comment section is not so messy yet.
I appreciate hearing your perspective too :)
So what's your method, then? What do you propose as the most effective way of bot bidding? And do you put down a lot of cash? And who do you usually go through? I'm still curious about the whole thing.
I feel like what @sorin-cristescu does is brilliant - He has made a promise to his followers to bid wisely and always post good content so as not to "rape" the system. And his value went up right away because his followers knew they'd be earning on curating him....
We should talk. Will you DM me on discord?
My method is to use bots 1-2 days after I publish my post. Plus I also auto-vote only 1-2 days after publishing post.
And to let all my curators know about it so they can auto-vote if they like.
This way they will be benefiting and receiving some solid curation rewards which will encorage them to keep following me.
Building awarness is important here. Plus I always recommend using bots on sunday (not that many bidders). Im trying to reach 100$ paycheck assuming that this number will not ever bring me to trendingpage and Im going to stay out of radar. And at the same time my curators will be happy.
Does it make sense?
@sorin-cristescu -> I couldnt find such a person
ps.
the problem is that I dont have discord yet. I tried to install it on laptop but I found it very confusing somehow. what about email or fb? Do you use any of it?
Yours
