This is interesting stuff......thanks for turning me on to Steem Dollar Ticker...I didn't know about it. I'd be interested in your opinion about using voting bots to self promote ones content. There is a big controversy about this, but I'm thinking if you are willing to invest in yourself to move your post up the list for a short time, so at least a few people may have a chance to see it, then why not? I don't think anyone ever looks at the promoted tab.....they look at the dollar amount of a post to determine its worthiness.
