Try to get curation by being an active member of the social platform and work for it like many others have and it won't cost you anything and you won't be giving your steem to bid bot owners and their delegators.
Trending is not worth it that much, often times receiving a lot of resteems from people with a lot of followers can be just as good. So connect with others and build up your account.
I see your point but I do that in real life. I have some followers, every platform has its querky rules and ways of doing things.
I'm not into investing time in socialising and connecting online so much. This is just a way for me to share that's different from Facebook.
I'm not sure you see the stupidity in downvoting me. Go downvote Donald Trump. Not me.
It's not a crime to use a bid bot.
Also the steem I did get I got from earning post curations in past post. I did it from the ground up.
If I can't use that steam for promotion, besides steem power, what good is that steem for me. I may as well take it out and convert it to bitcoin or something.
You're not ever winning by downvoting someone like me. You've taken a principle past it's jurisdiction.

Those resteem services? You trust them? You think they're more honest than bid bots?
I get it, you're trying to do the right thing. But it is misguided. I'm an artist with his face in the dirt. I live on the street, I travel, I see the world.
You've taken it upon yourself to downvote me out of your own naive righteousness believing that your method is god.
You've got to be kidding. Use your brain.
Do any of you have any idea how hard it is to get music noticed online? Considering how many upstarts are making music and putting it online nowadays. You use every available to resource to do what you can.
And if you the chumscrubber is noticed to be using a disapproved method by a minority group, you become marginalized and then ostracized. What a joke.
Go take down the man, not me.
AND THIS IS A COMMUNITY PROJECT!
I MEAN HOLY FUCK!
I'm bringing people together from around the world for a better purpose because we have unity in expression and YOU DOWNVOTE ME BECAUSE I USED A BID BOT!
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!
Calm down crazy
I have a valid point. Go downvote a whale that is abusing, not minnows that create good content and want more exposure.
Advertisement/promotion is supposed to cost. Downvoting brings back rewards to the rewardpool that go to the rest of authors. Abuse of all forms should be downvoted, just because you're a minnow doesn't make it any less of abuse.
You're not getting the point. You're set in a single way of thinking and will not deviate.
I am not the enemy.
You're like a religious zealot that can't see that killing in the name of god is wrong.
I'm sick of 'moral standing' taken to its extremes.
