RE: Is It Still Profitable to Bid for Steem Upvote Bots?
Hi Michel. Have you also tried factoring the age of the post when the bot votes? For example, if a bot were to vote on the post right after it was created aren't most of the rewards mainly sent to the author? (I could be wrong on that.) That would probably balance out the loss column.
No I haven't tried that. You mean voting before the 30 minutes where curation rewards go to the author instead? That's a good idea, but looks like a bit of a trouble to synchronise when the bot votes and publishing the post.
Exactly, I tried it once sometime back. I found a bot that did not have many bids on it. I waited till about the 5th minute at which point I submitted my post, copied the link over to the bot and I had a vote before the 15th minutes. It is tedious though. I was up at 6am in the morning doing this.
If the opportunity presents itself with the voting time very close to the time I publish, I may wait and try it.
