Hey @digitalworldyou this is a great post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's always good to know other people's opinion.

But, when it comes to 'reesteem bots' I partially disagree with you because they're much more efficient, because:
The bots have thousands of followers, which means new steemblogers have a bigger 'starting-hedge' and exposure to other people. There's more equality.
It's cheaper to get reesteemd than promoting a post.
If you follow a bot you might know other steemblogers (that interest you) that you didn't if you didn't follow the bot
And finally, i think nobody sees the promoted page.

Let ne know what you think about this!
