RE: Growing Unhappiness with Upvote Bots on Steemit

in #steemit6 years ago

The irony that if I have the system I am recommending in place, I'd just spend 100 SBD, set up my targeting properly wash my hands and have the majority of the Steemit community know about it.

Dead right on that one! Have a full upvote, sir!

Thank you good sir! Have my full upvote as well!

Are in charge of sneaky ninja by any chance? :)

If you mean @sneakyninja, where The Daily Sneak is published, then yes. And it's a huge time consuming project I wish I had never started!!
Okay, not really. It's helped me to learn a lot, and to find quality content like yours. But it has been time-consuming.

Yes I can imagine it is very time consuming indeed! Where do you see it going? Do you intend to work on it being profitable?

It's already profitable, but not profitable enough to fully reward the time spent on it. I would like to see it move toward becoming a community-driven project, with people contributing their own curation commentary, and then talking to each other about why different posts were selected and what it means to create good content.

Ironically, that will initially make it less profitable (some of the promotion costs will be indirectly passed through to contributors, instead of recouped as profits), but it's more a labor of love.
