RE: Steem Robots; STOP LOSING MONEY and how to be a PRO
The "sticky post" would be great, but I think upvotes and post value are the "sticky" function around here. As you said, we are expected to pay indirectly for that. ,
SmartSteem is the best tool so far, unfortunately does not have a lot of users so far, hence it gets under powered really fast. Though my low SP it gives me a nice small steady income for selling my vote (which only goes to Whitelisted users).
Regarding the upvotes, I paid for those votes so it pushed your comment to appear in the upper part of the comments sections, so indirectly I am paying to people see your name haha. Do not worry I am not that cheap so I will upvote you ;) I was checking SteemWorld did not use it so far. I find great to see how much the upvotes are worth to calculate better the bids and so on.
No doubt, up votes are king. I have tried to use Smartstream multiple times but it is always out of VP so you get a message back into your wallet that it could not upvote you entirely. In MB, this activity is hidden.
Yea, SteemWorld is one of my favorites - very cool design and they are still adding!
@therealwolf is the developer behind SmartSteem, maybe he can take your feedback. I also agree that MB is better in the sense you can keep your activity hidden, mainly when there is not enough VP to upvote you.
I still would prefer to do most my upvotes through SmartSteem since there I am Whitelisted with a ** rank, but we need more publicity into the tool.
