RE: If You Use Upvote Services Please Read These Two Posts

in #steem7 years ago

Under what circumstances does a whale get 80% of their vote back for upvoting someone's post? At most, they will get the full 25% curation reward for the post.

amiright?

Normally yes, that's what happen.

But when you give let's say to a bot 1 $ and get a 1.5 $ back in return, if you take out the curation reward the bot also gets, your profit is 20-30 cents. Ok, my math wasn't super exact, but close.

In mosts cases, the ROI is actually negative and you hope you might get some extra votes to break even or have a profit.

The 20 - 30 cents in the above scenario sounds about right. That's a 20% to 30% ROI, I can see why so many people do it.

The trick is to find undersold bots if you're going to buy upvotes. Also, to avoid buying upvotes on platforms that take benefactor rewards is probably wise.

It appears to me that this is happening as much as it is because it is profitable, but I'll check the links above, thank you. :)

please also check the two links I have provided in the post, especially the second is a must read I believe if you want to have an all around opinion, whether it agrees with mine or not :)
