8. Сonclusion
dMania is at the very beginning of its life but already got growing interest by the community. Every months the number of posts/comments and payouts increases. And with the latest news from dMania’s founder @zombee (Steemit Supports dMania with 500k Steem Power) I’m sure that dMania is going to accelerate it’s growth!
Wow, I never thought I was making such great impact here..... I think I have to stay and create a niche here and continue with my one meme a day project.
Thanks for the mention @artz
Yep. 1 post and $50. That's a great result)
Nice work! :) Try keeping the same average result per post on dMania you'll outperform @zombee.
a great post on steemit
Nice analysis.
For 2018 I don't want to see myself at the top authors on dMania anymore.
You guys will definitely receive more rewards in 2018.
Go fun(d) yourself 😁
I hope that as a dMania's founder you'll have a lot of support from the community. And may be some day dMania will crash 9GAG ;)
I entered 9gag.com once. Once.
The problem that is bugging me is that very few people get the lionshare of the rewards, I wish there were multiple tiers of bot upvote strength because as it stands now if a whale upvotes your post you have a strong chance that the bot will upvote you as well; this way most people will get absolutely nothing which is a shame.
I can't give everyone upvotes from the bot. That would only encourage spamming. I thought about giving smaller upvotes to some people, but for that posts have to get more upvotes and rewards in general. Otherwise I can't make a distinction between a good post and a very good post.
It will probably always be that a lot of posts don't receive an upvote from the bot. The bot can't give upvotes to posts with $0.01 rewards and 1 upvote. The bot doesn't know it the post is good or bad. Only if other people upvote a post does the bot know the community likes a post. Otherwise the bot would upvote shitposts nonstop.
I'm not saying everybody should get an upvote. But an 100% upvote from the bot is a lot and only a handful of people get to enjoy that. All I'm saying is that more people should get rewarded with a smaller upvote. Otherwise people will boost their meme using booster for example to increase their chance of getting an vote from the dMania bot, and I don't think that's fair.
The bot upvotes with 40% atm. Thats 24 upvotes a day, 168 upvotes a week.
Thats's quite a lot and I think it's fine for now.
For new users with no followers it is hard to get upvotes and rewards. That's why I still allow upvote bots. They won't give u guaranteed upvotes, just a higher chance.
I see, it is still really hard for new users though, even with upvote bots.
And even at 40%, 24 upvotes a day seem a bit too little especially at the rate dMania is growing. Maybe a max of 1 upvote per week or month will increase the chances of more people getting upvotes
Thank you for sharing very much convincing analysis. Its a very big motivation for me that such powerful helping applications are available to help posters.....
I hope I will be one of them...
Thank you...
Gonna have to check out Dmania for sure. Every time I come across something from 9 Gag I end up cracking up so hard. Gonna go check it out right now
I hope a boto of dmaniabot this 2018 hehe¨

Hey, that's a really nice work!
As I see @midobashamido put the most efforts on dMania while as a founder @zombee was a heavy 9gag user and logically his average payment per post is the highest.
sizin bota 0.50 gönderdim geri dönüş olmadı neden ?
I sent your bota 0.50 Why was not there a return?
