Great article . I like you also tried this for a week; and suffered the joy and despair as the price jumped up and down like a yo-yo. In the end it’s just an option to be excesised if it works for some people great. I am not sure the followers from the trending page are high quality anyway an no one who has been on Steemit for a while actually looks at the trending page; so that chance of finding anyone with value to their upvote there is slim. Thanks for perservering !
That's a good point, I think most of them are pretty empty followers that you gain from the paid upvotes. Having stopped a while back now I'm much happier this way!!
