RE: Using upvote bots for profit
This is very informative @clearbluecrypto, the very last line I would quote verbatim to just about anybody getting into them right now- "I will still use upvote bots but only in the most advantageous situations." About 4-5 months ago I went crazy on the bots, followed them by the second, and was fortunate enough to do really well and capture very nice gains. But as of the last few months, especially with the drop again in steem, it's like banking with Ebineezer Scrooge. Every little way they can game the bidders they are doing, very few of them are operating how they originally listed their setting with bottracker, which is a lie by omission at the best on the bot owners that have done this. But on the plus side when steem crashes the peasants like me gain more proportionally than the whales that run these bots, so I guess there is that. Unless you are looking more so at post promotion, or have a feeling on steem rising for the short term, you really indeed have to be careful on there, because very few people here on the platform care if you fall flat on your face trying to patronize them.
Thank you @cryptkeeper17 I originally started on the steem platform after reading articles on penny hoarder about making extra income with partime jobs. One suggestion that caught my attention was writing and blogging. I never blogged before but I have certainly written my fair share. Then sometime later I heard about steemit on youtube. I thought this is excellent I can make money writing and get paid in crypto. I still think its a great platform but I have had it up to the ceiling with taking losses. I havnt lost faith in the project I just need to change my approach.
I spend a lot of time on discord, my user name there is cryptkeeper17#6637, feel free to get in touch any time, looking at your situation it is very similar to mine. Once again, very excellent post with very pertinent context to the current state of affairs on steemit!
I will check for you and reach out. I dont know what timezone your in but Im in the US eastern time zone. Im on the site at night 9pm -11pm most nights during the week. On the weekend its random.
Sounds good. I am on the US central, so I am an hour behind you, so if it's not too late for you it's probably not too late for me.
I am very glad to hear that you haven't lost faith because when we lose people like yourself we are in the house pain here on steemit. You are spot on though, you really have to be nimble here and always rethink and find new ways to pick up gains. It might the most addictive online day to day board game I have ever played, lol.
Yes Im going to ride this train to the last stop. I believe in the vision of this site. Compensating users for their contributions. I just want to make sure while I contribute and invest I make a profit and not take a loss.
