RE: SmartSteem Curation Manipulation Test (Part 1)
One aspect (regardless if you make profit or not) to use services like smartsteem is to promote your posts...if you have more/higher votes, more people will probably see it...
Yeah but that aspect is very binary. You either get on the trending page or you don't. If you tag your post with subjects that are flooded like "steemit" "steem" etc you won't get visibility unless you're up to like $100.
Okay, yes, that's one good point.
But it still can be used as a way of promoting your post :)
Yeah, but this is very bad for business. When bid-bots are outdated and eliminated the "Promoted" tab will come back in a big way and burn a bunch of SBDs. High SBD value makes the platform worth a lot more.
But has the promote-function of steemit itself ever be used/did it make sense?
I'm not here long enough to know about that
https://steemit.com/promoted
It's being used right now. If bid-bots weren't around it would be used a lot more.
Okay, thanks! :)
