Only way i"d click on promoted is if it paid me.
It's not very well thought out in my mind and I find it hard to believe anyone every thought this method of burning steem would be a success..
I'm becoming s lil skeptical when I examine some of these features and learn how they are meant to work...
It is not meant to be a long term solution. In a way, we all get "paid" when people promote the posts, because it reduces the SBD debt and prevents new STEEM from being created. You yourself do not directly get paid for it, but everyone in the community benefits when people promote.
For that reason I'll upvote any promoted post that I don't actively disagree with or see as spammy/scammy/harmful or zero effort.
In other words the majority of them get my vote.

Personally what I like to do is upvote the same as I would if I saw it in my feed - no special privilege or anything. Mainly all I see it as, is they got me to look at it. Whether or not it gets my vote is still 100% based on the quality of the post.
I'd like to let people know that I'll afford extra consideration for them burning some SBD for the greater good.
