Ive also done a little experimentation with bid bots vs upvote bots and I agree upvote bots get you very little exposure and interaction from other steemians it’s really only their for steemians to abuse at this point! While it should be used to upvote someone when your vote isn’t worth much it’s better to just direct donate, since most people don’t know how to use the bid bots correctly they spam these bots and don’t allow people who use them to make much profit, if any!
Resteem bots will get you more views but since we don’t have a view counter per article anymore we won’t know how much not that that matters too much! They whole point of resteeming is to get more interaction and you will get it but at a loss in ROI in the short term and your also not gaurenteed to reach steemians who would be interested in your content it’s a bit of a shot in the dark
My idea would be to have resteem bots per category or similar categories so if I like food posts I want to follow thay resteem bot and get all the food resteems would make it much more targeted
Not really. Have you tried to follow a resteembot? The only thing they do is flooding your feed, but that's all.
Yes i have and its exactly as you say. Thats why i said if the bots could be used to only promote posts on certain tags and people dont abuse them we could see the content they share improve our feeds
Then, why don't you press the tag button instead of go and view the bots feed? Do you know there's an efficient way to check on tags where you finished your post, the next thing is to click on your own tag to find like minded people that using the same tag?
To me, resteeming service itself is a total waste of time. In the end, communication makes the most out of it. One need to spend 80% of their time curating others and leave comment to make connection, not only by resteeming. I don't simply resteem other people's post, unless it's a necessarily information I wish my followers to read. I'm more than worried if my resteem would pissed my follower off.
Don't get offended. Merely speak my mind. Cheers.
I do view content by tags, just not as often as perhaps yourself and others, all im saying is not EVERY user is going to do that. We all have our ways of using the site.
I get you're not a fan of the system you made that clear, so lets come up with options to improve it not throw the thing away.
I agree i also don't resteem anything i feel isn't something im interested it should almost be as if i wrote it myself thats how inline i must be with the content to resteem it
Fair enough. Good point in trying to improve, but then it limits the bot's potential income and or profitability didn't it? Lol
Good discussion. Lemme smash that follow button!
Yes, it will initially but if the bot continues to help facilitate more relevant connections its value to users increase, its use increases and its price can increase per resteem it demands. A market-related service if you will, well in my mind it makes sense.
lol Likewise, dropped you a follow too!
Wanna start something? Let's create a resteem account for that purpose? Only relevant material are entitled. What do you say? I'm gonna dump 30SP to it, and you can share if you want to. How's that sound? Let's do it as free service? 0.001steem per request. Requestor must follow the resteem account. No refund since it's a free service. We do manual curate for all the resteem request?
Great comments guys @davidke20 and @chekohler
Good luck with your little project :)
Hi @chekohler
I appreciate your amazing comment. Thx for sharing your view on this particular issue.
I guess we're having similar experience so far.
The thing is that what I care at the end of the day is simple: how many new users interested with crypto found me and commented my post. Amount of upvotes or views doesnt matter (I think).
My personal expecience with using resteeming bots is a so far quite positive. Definetly results are better comparing results received from upvoting post into trending page.
Whenever I would spent 15-20 SBD on resteeming bots I would get 5-10 valuable new contacts (comments from people I didnt know who are blogging about crypto). So I would say that it was worth it so far. But it really depends on resources and expectations.
But who knows. Maybe soon I will also change my mind. Perhaps Im just to over optimistic :) Thx again for sharing your view. I appreciate it a lot! :)
Yours
Piotr
