RE: I don't want to work for anybody but for Blockchain - Part 1
Your conclusion is not correct. I actually lose 25% when I use bots for upvote. And still use bots. Do you wants to know why? Because I believe in Steem platform and anticipating that if I can be visible then I will be able to develop a network of steem users who see value in my posts and my other works and that would allow me to collaborate with them for win -win outcome.
Hope u get my point.
You lose 25%.
:O
thats crazy, i watched you spend over 200 sbd in 20 min! so after 4 posts its costing you around 600 bucks?!?!?!
wow
i thought you were making money.
i personally think if you wanted to help grow the platform it would do more good to power up with that 600 bucks every 4 posts and upvote the people that interact with you and upvote your stuff, then their votes on your post would be worth more.
Damn thats crazy, i thought it was gona be like a 1k pay out post when i seen your wallet start wizzing by.
Well ill check your posts out and if i like them ill follow, so i guess your plan did work on its getting you visibility.
:D
have a great weekend and thank you for explaining it to me, i thought for some reason people paid for upvotes to make money i just couldnt figure out how to do it or something.
Just be clear. People are paying bots to get visibility. Bots are making apprx 25% more than they would if they had upvoted themselves.
So I don't consider bots as enemies of the platform but enabler to let the system develop attention economy which is hotly contested field right now.
Yep 👍🏼 and the more visibility the more followers , and the more real sustainable upvotes , and the more smarter growth on the long run !

how do you feel about the removal of the view counter yesterday so people cant continue pointing out how people are getting hundreds of upvotes from bots but single digit views on the posts?
wouldnt you like to know how many of the votes you got came from actual people and not all just from multi sock puppet accounts?
Took steemit 4 months of everyone yelling for a view counter in the early days of the platform to stop the alt account bot scam as it was the only way to prove people were self upvoting with bots and now all of a sudden they removed it without saying a word like no one noticed.
:/
idk, if you think bots are good then i guess we will just have to agree to disagree. i see it only as more consolidation of the power on the platform to the preminers that mined 98% of the platforms steempower before stopping all mining and it was opened up to the public.
Comments still provide a measure about if the content is being read and discussed or not.
I also noticed just now about the view counter and I am equally surprised. Hope they will restore it
Although I have a suggestion to make in this regard that there should be two type of trending
I think that would be awesome, maybe keep trending as most commented, viewed and stuff and then make a page thats all the top paying stuff.
I also hope they bring back the view counter, it supplied alot of information even if not 100% accurate.
well some people are...some people are abusing them
no point in ignoring the obvious issues with the bots.
it's a great system but needs improvement
if you spent 200 and got 244 sbd and 80 sp you didn't lose anything..... Only way you are going to lose now is if steem price drops and that's not the case. You will actually make about 50% in profits on this....
No. I will get only 75% of what u see on post and so either break even or minor loss/profit
I agree with that completely @prameshtyagi
Some people don't understand the concept of investing in yourself
There is problems with bot abuse....but not use
Yes u are right. System improvement based on community feedback should happen
try minnowbooster they have a cool system.
