RE: Recommended for Steemit Newbies as well as Veterans - How to get more upvotes #2 !
Considering that resteem.bot, a paid service, posts a comment each time it resteems, you may want to suggest that people wait longer before resteeming.
As the bot becomes more popular, continued hiring it will exponentially increase its SP.
Unless you prefer the pool of rewards at some point to be totally dominated by for hire services, you may not want those services to comment at the ideal time and you want to use them a little later, allowing your post to be upvoted more naturally in the first few hours.
If we don't consider those side effects of these services, soon enough they will collect the mega shares of all curation rewards. As a content producer/curator that means that you pay them twice, thrice even:
- For their services
- Give them the comment space (free billboard)
- A big chunk of the curation rewards.
Yes, bots (especially resteem bots) for a fee are an awesome business model here on steemit.

Never thought about that topic in great detail - I guess using resteembots wil help new users to promote their posts
It does. The theory works. But the bigger question is also what is the quality of the exposure.
Now that the biz model of those services is becoming more known, specifically their earnings, it is obvious that we will see many more of them. Often also at a much lower rate. Within the shortest time all content in your feed will be only promoted (resteemed).
The floodgates will be totally open and while you may try to tailor your feed by following people who wrote about topics you love, the noise level of resteemed content (in many different languages too) will just result in not looking at your feed anymore.
The pros are merely short term. The better bots cost... big time. Promotion is expensive. But it's a solid biz model. And everybody feeds the machine. :)
Long term, if the platform ends up becoming overrun by paid services who take the largest chunk of curation, Steemit will end up a bubbleware platform dominated by few corporations. That doesn't sound like it will be good for our SBD.
It sounds like bubblepop.
We will find out... Time will tell...
A business model? :D Who would world for this? https://steemit.com/@resteem.bot/transfers @resteem.bot
