Hello Dan I'm sorry for the throat infection, I hope you're really recovering well? It's been a real bummer not to have you here with the Friday and Saturday 3speak video. However I do have a question. Now that the Post HF us here now and vote buying is no longer a thing I'll like to ask a question; is it also problematic or wrong if someone writes a very fine quality content and due to low engagement they use about 3 steem to get about 0.7$ upvote from a bot? I get the amount is quite small, but is this Still considered an abuse? Despite the fact that the Post is quality? Should we just totally kill the idea of even a 2 steem vote buy even if it's just to push the content for people to see it a bit? Would like to see an answer to this question thanks a lot Dan.
I side with @josediccus on this questions, sometimes we find a post having good ingredients yet it receive less engagement and less upvotes which also talk a lot in steem, in terms of attracting more followers. There is a likely or possibility of of receiving less attention for a post that has been garnished for about three days before releasing to steemit blockchain because random voting. By the my regards to you @theycallmedan and with you a speedy recovery!
I see many people who still boost their post up to around $10 - $15 and don't get downvotes because the post is decent.
Tbh, I think it's just a risk using paid votes. I'm not taking the risk, and if engagement doesn't get better I'll have to consider my options.

I totally stopped anyways the ocd guys asked me to and that's why. I'm hoping I can get better recognition and engagement because I believe my posts are quite fair
