Hey, good post. This account on steemit is new, but I'm an oldie and I always followed what you had to say. Good call on the Steem top when that happened.
This article is pertinent to the conundrum I am having right now. Been working on this project for a long time, but my newbie "steem-realms" account isn't getting any love yet.... so I have been considering how socially acceptable it would be to use a bid-bot just to get some love on my launch post for this project.
I've considered the "PROMOTE" button, but I am unsure that's cost effective, plus it only takes SBD. -.- I think my project is worthwhile, but just getting that initial hype going is a challenge. And yes, this is partially a shameless plug, but I do like your content and always have.
Thanks. I used promote when I first started but I don't think it really is worth using.
Your project looks interesting and if you're using soft consensus custom json then you obviously have a decent technical background. It might help if you revealed who is the mastermind behind steem-realms? I for one don't like to resteem projects if I don't know who is really behind them.
