Hi steemians,

For minnows like us, we tend to use vote selling bot to increase our exposure and we will try our best to push our posts to hot or even trending pages which may even attract more upvotes or money.Well, to you and others Steemians, may be this is a normal circumstances that you may saw and even tried everyday. But now I am here to tell you,may be it is time for you to rethink your action.

For me, I am quite disagree with the action of selling votes bot did. This is because they are exploiting the rewards pools indirectly and their action can be seem as pirates.In other words,they are moving out the profit as much as they can from Steemit now.

So,may be it's time for us to stop supporting them to exploit the rewards pool now. I am here to encourage you to use a better, more honest alternative ways!

Now,we are encouraged to use the promotion tab instead of selling votes bot to promote our posts.The reason is the money that you use to promote the post not only help us to get an upvote from @promoted bot, your money will also returned to the Steemit's rewards pool!

So how @promoted works?

• Maximum: send 10 SBD and get 100% upvote
• Minimum: send at least 0.001 SBD and get 0.01% upvote

How to get upvote from @promoted?

Step 1: Scroll your post to the bottom and you will see a "promote" button.

Step 2: Send the amount that you wanted to promote your post.

Step 3: Wait for 10 seconds, the bot will upvote your post!

Last words,

We are encourage to use selling votes bot is because we want Steemit have a greater and a brighter future. Exploiting the rewards pool is not the way to help Steemit to sustain!

Feel free to comment about how this makes you feel, good or bad.Thanks!

正如 @nationalpark 所说的，使用 @randowhale和 @booster 是对Steemit 不好的，因为他们都是在减少 Reward pool 里钱，可以说是不道德的行为，但是身为小鱼的我们要如何抵制他们呢？不要使用就是唯一的抵制。

但是习惯使用的朋友该怎么办呢？别担心，现在我们有 @promoted 机器人。它跟 @randowhale 是同样操作，不同之处则为，你所花的钱将会回到 reward pool里。

如何使用 @promoted？

你可以把你的帖子移到最底下，然后按 “promote”，并传送你1-10 SBD，就可以啦！

• 最多: 传送 10 SBD 得到 100% upvote
• 最少: 传送最少 0.001 SBD 并得到 0.01% upvote
