RE: Is GrumpyCat Abusing It's SteemPower?

I think it's totally ok to send 100SBD to a vote-bot if you can afford to do so.

But you are wrong with your understanding of them!

The round-based votebots like booster vote every hour - And everyone participating gets their share of 100% according to the amout of % they contributed to the pool.

So if there is a total of 200SBD sent withing 2.4hrs and you sent 100SBD of it, you will get a 50% upvote.

In extrem cases of server issues, users have gotten 100$ upvotes for 1SBD.

So technically you are of course destroying the ROI for other users by sending such large sums after them.

But since I don't see boosters as a tool to get a good ROI but rather as a tool to advertise your post, I think sending large sums is fine too.

Sort:  

Yes I'd have no issue with it if it was placed at the start of the round or when the ROI was still positive.

But slapping $100 mid round or at the end when you know you are going to reduce a load of bids way into the negative, not cool at all.
