RE: Testing... Testing... Is this thing even on? Week #3 (Vote bots vs resteems in the visibility category)
I appreciate the honesty. I think a lot of people are here for your exact reason but are not brave enough to admit it.
It's not about honesty. The fact is that the linear system of payments on this site is built in such a way that it destroys any motivation to upvoting posts (even good and high-quality ones). With a linear system, the most profitable monetization of STEEM POWER is the upvoting of one's own posts and comments. That is why, it is almost impossible for an honest author to get an honest reward, even if he writed a post with a recipe of the real and really working elixir of eternal life. Because all whale upvoting is divided according to the agreements (and those that are not divided - are sold at predatory prices).
At first I tried to write (and even bought from professional journalists) good and qualitative articles, published them and .... received 0.002 SBD payments. thus losing a certain amount of money, just spat and turned her blog into a personal diary for her notes. Now I'm writing about what I want and do not care which, whether someone likes it or not. And I get upvotes by other way.
It is still very honest and I appreciate it. If one wants to get paid on steem... there is a formula to it plain and simple.
I will gladly read it if you share it with me, but if this formula does not imply fraud or serious investments, I'm not sure that it will work. I'm here not the first day, I tried many different schemes and very well studied the entire local "kitchen".
