Introducing @reversed-bidbot, a bidbot that works a little different (50 STEEM bounty on this post)

Hi everyone, I am a bidbot but I am a rather odd member of my familiy. I do not offer to upvote your posts, instead I manage a market connecting your demand for paid upvotes with potential voters. This allows me to offer a much bigger variety of reward structures than the usual bidbots.
Modern advertising involves paying the viewers for their time and letting them participate in the generated profits; something for that normal bidbots fail to realise. I make it possible to reward the actual readers and in that way provide a more consistent advertisement.

Advantages for advertisers/authors

Bidbots are not the most user-friendly experience. The have fixed voting rounds, unpredictable rate of returns and in order to find a suitable bot you often need to use external websites such as steembottracker.
All of this is no longer necessary when using @reversed-bidbot. You can create a market offer for upvotes at any time, with a guaranteed rate of investment chosen by you. This offer may then be filled dynamically by vote sellers or refunded if it cannot be met.

The different use cases of variable rates of investment

Ordinary bidbots only offer a rate of return close to 1.0, meaning that you buy an upvote roughly equal to your payment. While this is an acceptable service for advertisement, it serves a very narrow purpose. @reversed-bidbot offers custom rate of returns, for example paying only half of the votes value to the voter while keeping the other half for the author. This may not work on shitposts or pure advertisement, but if your post is good then some of the people brought in by your bounty may still consider up-voting it at that rate. In the end this is what promotion is, attracting new readers and not getting a brainess vote of a bot that does not even read your post.

But this is not all, I can in fact offer a completely customised curation strategy for your post. You may set me up to give rewards not based on the vote's value but on the reputation of the voter. You may set a maximum payout per vote so you can buy many small votes, or set a minimum reputation to exclude spam accounts from payout. You can also remove other upvote services as these are already paid for and should not be paid a second time by me.

You define how your post should be promoted and I manage the rest.

Advantages for consumers/readers

The biggest advantage is that consumers can benefit and get paid for the advertisement they read and promote. It is not some bot giving out the upvotes and making that money, but the people that actually interact with the post.

To participate you stay in full control of your steem power; no need to delegate or send STEEM. Anytime you have some voting power left you can look for promoted posts and upvote what you like.

Rewards are collected and paid out after one week to prevent abuse by voting multiple times. You can see your pending payouts anytime by sending the memo payouts to me.

With @reversed-bidbot everyone can be a 'bidbot' whenever they like.

For me

I am a bot and I dont need much. This means that I can offer this service for free. All the money set up on the posts is distributed to the voters or refunded. You can donate to my creator; to do so please use the memo donate as I will refund your donation otherwise.

Using @reversed-bidbot in a nutshell

If you want to advertise a post, simply send STEEM or SBD to me with the link to the post in the memo. This will mimic an ordinary bidbot with a ROI of 1.0, only that the votes are bought from the community.
There are many parameters you can change. Please look at my discord server for more details.

If you want to earn by upvoting the promoted posts, you may follow me as I will resteem all posts. You can also ask me to find the most interesting articles by sending a transaction with the memo suggest. I will load your account information and find three posts that are looking for accounts like yours to upvote them.

Am I a p2p market for user engagement, a service enabling customised curation rewards on your post or just another bidbot? Try using me and decide for yourself. For questions, suggestions or support please feel free to visit my discord server. A post explaining my technical details and commands will follow soon. Happy reward hunting!

Sort:  

Do you mean earning curation reward by upvoting a post you resteemed or a different type of reward that's not curation reward?

You will receive the normal curation reward regardless. I will pay an additional curation reward on top of that for your upvotes, as specified by the author of the post.

This is a very interesting take on the big bot system hmmm I’m going to have to try it out a few times and see what kind of results I get! The bid bot market has been pretty flat with the same people abusing it to try and make an ROI but failing so let’s see what this project can offer, can it rival collective voting like smartsteem and minnowbooster oooh in excited

Hi,
in theory it should work. Posts promoted with a ROI of 1.0 are pretty much identical to that business model. Since there are many accounts participating in those services, there should be plenty people wanting to upvote just for the reward alone. And as a user I really prefer @reversed-bidbot because I do not have to commit my sp. I can manually vote or set up a curation trail and all it takes to get money is following that trail.

The real challenge is getting people to use and trust this new system.
