RE: Is it Right or is it Wrong? My thoughts around Steemit and Message to my Trolls
my question with the voting bots is, what's the roi, and what do they do with the funds?
@minnowbooster comes to mind as a bot with a heart. 10% of the profits go to the team that maintains it, and 90% goes to their various investors. Also, when you pay for a vote for minnowbooster, you actually get a return on your investment, it's comes back to you bigger than what you sent, unlike most of the other paid voting bots on this site.
@treeplanter is another good example, the profits are used to plant trees, and help the world! it's vote isn't worth so much, then again, it doesn't ask for much...
what I want to see is an analysis of the ROI on the major voting bot services, and some sort of question into how socially conscious these services are.
nothing will stop new people coming here and creating a new bot...
what we can do, as a community, is to decide which of these bots are tied into the steamcleaners blacklist, and which of them are actually for the benefit of others. Which i have a strong feeling that most of them are for the benefit of the bot creator Only.
@treeplanter is awesome. Obviously many people will favor socially concious bots, but many wont.
There have been posts done by others on the return on investment, but i will pop the question to #bisteemit and see if
maybe I just need a link to one of those posts. however, things have changed at mb lately, and it might need to be done again, once we get some other things together
okay I will look at do an analysis for you :-)
