RE: Photorealistic painting
I use these bots because I feel my post contains enough value and I want to increase my reach a bit more. But since doing this costs me SBD and STEEM that I earn,you don't expect me not to get SBD and SP in return. And moreover, I don't get the whole value, it will still be shared amongst I the author and other curator. In the end what I get is basically the same value with what I invested. The only advantage of doing this is to increase my popularity.
By buying votes you deprive others of rewards. It is up to the community to decide what a post is worth and you are making the vote sellers richer.
You will probably still get something from this post, but declining rewards makes it more like buying exposure on Google or elsewhere. Your art is good and you deserve to have more followers, but you should appreciate that we want a better distribution of rewards.
I see you were not commenting much. Reaching out to other artists and art fans is a better way to build your followers. Get more of those and you will earn rewards.
In your own words, you are voicing what many of your fellow Steemians have to say on this subject. Which equates to a bottom line of something like, "I've worked hard on my post and deserve a greater reward for my efforts ..."
As with any of us, the route to obtaining support for your work is through engagement with others. Full stop. Period. There are many communities on our Steem blockchain. It would be in your best interest to find one or more which appeal to you and join in their efforts to build up the effort of others collectively.
For what it is worth, this is not personal @whizart, as I do not know you. I bear you no ill will. And you do some nice work on your portraits. I would think you would be successful in finding others who value your skills, if you are willing to invest the time and effort.
Thank you. And what I'm doing is what I see as best to boost my presence and popularity. You wish me well and yet downvoted. All the same, I wish you well too
I've been fighting the person who down-voted and ruined my Final Post for Bot-misuse... I was ATTACKED...
It's like they formed a Mob of Down-Voters to intimidate and Profit from People trying to Earn Extra Steem...
