Real added value is subjective. Buying votes gives users the ability to get seen and noticed, instead of going under in the sheer mass of posts.

Yea, but decide over their own quality. Its like self voting but worse, because potential bot operators (not you) will earn a lot of money from it.

yes also you always have to watch if you actually get what you paid for.

I lost due to a glitch on SmartSteem talked to wolf about it on discord but he never ended up sending me the difference.

Think about how many people just assumed they got the profit they were told but might not have in actuality.

Rather trade on binance.

thats why I really only talk about smartmarket and not about the voting bots.

I find the system of selling my unused votes good. I was on holiday for the last 3 weeks and was not really online much. So everytime my voting power got to 95% my votes got used and generated me a bit of passive income.
The voting bots are a different thing though. not a big fan of those either.

Its the same thing in my eyes. You dont have control over what you vote for. No human curation.

well there is a broad control because the only people that can buy the votes have been screened as not being spammers and people that are trying to abuse the system.
So this eliminates a whole lot of people that take advantage of the flaws in the system
