Thanks for your comment.
Just wondering what do you mean by" fine-tuning the content?"
How would you attract peoples attention for your content, product, service?
How would you do it instead?
And do you know how MinnowBoosters whitelist works?

The ideal is that the best content should gain visibility by users actively curating content based on perceived quality.
Unfortunately, this mechanism is destroyed by bid bots as stakeholders instead opt to delegate to these bots for passive returns rather than utilizing their stake to find great content.
It is well known that Steemit's promoted tab does not really work as intended and there had been a rampant issue of collusive voting (circlejerking) before the bid bots came about.
The problem is people did not attempt to solve the problem but rather a few chose to capitalize on human psychology and sell their voting power instead.
It was not a solution but another problem but it came with much propoganda purporting these things as "promotion" services when, in reality, they are used as a vehicle for Steem accumulation.
It's good that some of these services have implemented quality standards but the services are often abused nevertheless. When we audit a bid bots votes, it doesn't take too much time to find a user attempting to buy votes on sub par and low effort content.
My preference is community over bots and users that power up their liquid Steem vice sending it to voting services and perpetuating the cycle. Steem stakeholders need to get off their butts and curate.
By supporting any vote selling service, we are enabling them to do otherwise and even be rewarded for it. This is a problem for the long term sustainability of this platform and, the sooner users realize it, the better.
The "Pay Me I Vote You" model needs to go the way of the dinosaurs. We need more users looking for metaphorical diamonds in the rough so outside users will be drawn in by all the "shiny things" on Trending instead of seeing the same millionaire 6 times a day; however, the implication towards reward pool is another issue that I don't believe can be solved by any front end.
Sorry for the short novel. I've been a long time advocate for #nobidbots and am passionate about the issue. As for the MB whitelist, I have somewhat of an understanding but not comprehensive. I assume it's similar to Smartsteem?
