Do You Follow Steem-Paid Promoters?
I was looking at my transaction history and noticed two messages offering the service of showing a post of my choosing to thousands of people:

I looked at allaz's channel.
I looked at raise-me-ups' channel.
Was I interested in their content? No, not particularly.
A bunch of random people who paid to have their content promoted.
How random it looks. Do I want to pay to have my content shown where people are following random resteems because they were paid for the resteem? No. What a waste of money!
...actually, raise-me-up's re-steems look rather interesting.
Is my reasoning off? Is there a gooa reason to do it?
