Paying bots is just good for them really, not you. In short, you're losing money. Even though it looks like you're doing well you're really not - your paying yourself, badly.
well @cloudbuster I'm going to start using bots less and less, yet at this moment I'm tracking my payments to the bots and the payments received and I have actually made a profit. I feel though that now that I have a following, I can use them less and rely on more organic traffic :)
It's a bad deal for you and you don't even know it... You're being ripped off by bigger players. Do you like being pissed on? Because your pissing on yourself.
@cloudbuster you have to keep in mind SP rewards as well. I mean, why would I just burn money? I'm simply trying out different things here on steemit, watched some videos on youtube from brandonfrye and jerrybandfield and they advised to use bots so I gave it a try. For me, at this moment I have made a profit due to the combined rewards in SBD and SP. If I only count SBD yes of course you lose money. But you have to keep in mind SP rewards as well :)
@cloudbuster well nice to see you lowering yourself to cursing, I never get why people do that yet.
Yeah, have you also noticed my steempower has gone up from 0, or whatever you get from steemit in the beginning to, what is it now, I think 395?
If I calculate that, plus my outstanding rewards I'm in the profit.
But yes again, I'm going to use bots way less as of today because I think they are not always good. I notice though that with minnowbooster I always get a decent upvote. I will probably just use that one from now on.
Well I use the bots to promote the posts and get them more visible :)
