RE: Bribe-A-Bots. Are they worth it?
The one thing you have not discussed here is the 'bid' bots, the ones where you pay for a share of the payout. These are NOT a good idea imo because you do not know what your share will be. Sometimes the payout will be oversubscribed, so everyone loses except the whale funding the bot. This is not dishonest, it's just iffy.
I disagree with you about reasonable returns on regular bots. I feel that a combined return value after curation cost, SBD and SP, that exceeds your payment is worthwhile.
Increasing SP is always worthwhile. Investing in bought votes (pun intended) helps to that end.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
I consider the 'bid' bots pretty much the same, but with higher risk. You could actually loose your a portion of your investment.
My thought process on reasonable returns is that I would like to receive back the SBD that I put in, so I could use it for other things, while gaining SP. Maybe my standards are too high, but for a paid-for upvote, that's the minimum I would want. I agree that earning SP is worthwhile, I just think it's better earned by curation rewards and organic (freely offered) upvotes.
Thank you for your comments, trusted doctor @catweasel.
