RE: Why I Won't Use Upvote Services (Playing The Game My Way)

in #opinion6 years ago

Great article.. but I fear you are fighting a rigged game here...
On the other hand after having criticized vote buying and upvote bots so much I am atm undertaking some tests about the IRRs of voting bots... I will know more in the next days.. but atm it looks like even from an economical point of view vote buying makes no sense at all.. at least not for the author buying the upvotes.. and I am pretty sure that I had much less readers than voters...

Sort:  

I mean you can just buy votes for attention and gaining an audience even at a negative profit. I don't think it really matters. People can waste their money if they want to. Most services don't provide a helpful service to community, but if folks want an easier way, its there for them.

I might have fought the rigged game in the past, but I can't change it. I'll play my losing game as long as I feel it is worth it.

true... but if I look at the voted posts its all post promotion bots.. so nobody of those voting for me will actually have red what I was writing about...
as steemit killed the views counter nobody has any clue if people read the articles or not.. apart form people voting for it without paying a voting bot... so in my point of view it makes no sense at all for nobody but the bot operators

Yeah, them killing the views counter made little sense. More than anything they should kill the money counter rather than the view counter. One has more applicable large-scale value than the other in terms of determining network health. Not sure why they got rid of it.
