when i was doing my original calculations i was looking to achieve 20% ROI. This means that steem would need to net net 20% losses week over week in order to sustain losses.

That said I'm unsure why ROI for this post dropped 12% in seconds...

Promo bot flagged you, along with a few others including myself.

Mate, if you have thousands of dollars to pump into Steem, use it to power up your account. You can then delegate that SP to Smartsteem or whatever other account will bring you a passive income. You'll certainly profit that way. Not this way.

I do see the error of my ways now, and I'll try to create engaging and useful content going forward.

Thanks for your thoughts man and I will strive to become a better community member!
