Then you have still paid. I used to do 50/50; earn 50, buy 50, until VP got below 0.02. I then doubled my SP with cash. Now a single transaction of claiming rewards sets me back 59% for claiming 0.169 SP and 0.129 SBD and I can't vote for 3 days, nor can I power up the 50 Steem I still have sitting there.....
I have only paid with my time blogging.
