RE: Boost Your Post And Get Profits With MinnowBooster | MVD
Hey, I love your question, and in fact, I am more than happy that you mentioned it!
No, I haven't well, I never used any "bad" bots.(Okay, you never know if they are :P ) You can't make it into trending without using any kind of promotion. I think it's similar to "real life". Assuming that you have a new restaurant. What would you do? Just wait until some people come inside, or go outside and looking for people "pay someone" to go on the street, or advertise it online, flyers, etc... If people use promotion to get more visibility it would be fair, but most of them aren't they are not really caring about their content which is very sad, and they just want an upvote(most of the good bots aren't about printing Steem just break even, and you will get visibility) I know that it is not only on Steemit, Youtube, Facebook, etc. have the same problem. I would use them even for a loss(not just break even) as long as I could get more visibility, grow my audience make customers(people who are watching it) happy and later on if they are I am more than happy to make a profit out of it. I hope that this makes sense. I could give you other examples if you like.
In my next "Tutorial" I'll tell you how most people are doing it stay tuned for that ;)
Is it so vital to be on trending? You do know that most established users won't look there? It just seems to be a way to get lots of minnow attention as they fish for votes on their comments and it gives a false sense of what is popular. In any case you need to buy huge votes to even get on there. I see you are not always doing this.
I do flag posts that I think are abusing the bots. Not all of them operate blacklists. People will do this just to earn a few cents each time, but it's depriving those who actually put in work of their rewards as it reduced what is available. It's also making the vote sellers ever-more powerful. Is that the Steem we want to see?
There's an interesting paragraph in the white paper:
I'm not sure I see the value of abuse, but I will do what I can to make it non-profitable for those who give nothing back to Steem. I want to see good creators get rewarded, but the system is getting skewed in a bad way.
My preference would be to not have trending as the default page for new users. Hot is better, if still open to gaming.
Thanks so much for your answer
I totally agree with what your saying, I have used promo services a few times.
Have you heard of SteemFlagRewards?
I understand flagging spam or plagiarism ,but someone promoting there art or music didn’t strike me as abuse.
If possible could you talk about good/bad services and what promotional services you like to use
Hopefully I don’t get flagged again
Thanks again

Well, I watched your Dtube videos, but I couldn't see any flags? On what kind of content was it do you have the link, because I'm really interested in doing a video about that topic. Yes, I am following SteemFlagRewards, but I haven't had a chance to look into it... When I started cheetah posted "plagiarism" under my content all the time, and it took me a while to get in touch with them. The funny thing was that he mentioned my own content (haha) I have to do my research because I am not a 100% sure about the bid bots and how they are different from the promoting services(maybe the whitelist...?^^) or are they even the same? Who's right who is wrong? Maybe they are all good, but people just abuse them?
Here is the post it’s a photograph

I’m an artist I spend a lot of time to create some of my photography
By no means do I think I abused any bots in comparison to other posts I’ve seen with 6 or 7 bots
I might not have 2 pages of text along with my art but that’s not what I do . The effort is in the art itself. Art is open to interpretation but doesn’t mean it’s worthless if you don’t like it.
Thanks again
