RE: Upvote Bots on Steemit - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!
Yeah man, I agree! I'd rather earn my upvotes from real people who geniunely enjoy my content, bots are not real and people using bots are just here in steemit for the money and most likely does not care to help other people. Just begging them for followers that most likely will never look at your content and there you only have numbers. No value in that! Great post man and upvoted! What matters is bringing value to the community and the cash comes afterwards. :)
Exactly! Bots don't determine the value of our content to users, and its not like they're going to engage with us. Its often people who lack any real knowledge of how social media and social networking works that result to taking short cuts in hopes of finding better outcomes. Even if those bots can get their content more visibility, that doesn't mean those who come across it wont just ignore it. They're focusing in all the wrong places.
Its better time spent focusing on the underlying purpose, the content strategy that follows, and engaging and connecting with those who do have an interest what we do.
While there's nothing wrong with having a business mindset to the work people do on the web, people have to be willing to learn, and they have to realize we all have to crawl before we can walk. I spent 6 years building up brands and audiences on the web, and I'm just now starting to look at it from a business perspective. Yet, we see others jump online and expect to make a fast buck, and they end up learning the hard way there is no fast buck on the web.
You only get out what you put in! Thanks for your great feedback friend!
