It is definitely disappointing when you think a post should be a hit but it flops. On the flip side I have had posts I didn't think were that great do really well.
As for the bot voting, I think that for awhile it was very profitable but as more and more people are doing it it has become more competitive and in many cases is no longer profitable. Now the only people who are doing really well with the paid upvotes are the bots themselves.
I agree. I still say to each their own. I love it everyday! I think as we all push on it will be worth it!
I agree.
