Awesome post well done mate. About the bots, I have been using them and testing them out but my account has stagnated. I dont know fully about the ethics side but im going to give them a rest for a bit.
I tend to agree about building a genuine following by engaging with content you are interested in and can give valuable insight or information about
As far as I know most of the bots work at a loss. This means that you pay now for something that you will get in up to 7 days that sometimes ( or most of the times ) and is less than what you pay.
Yeah that sounds right. My posts are going up in value but my account isnt. Gunna stop with the bots now
Don't forget to check the price of the Steem. While I had 500 usd at the time of writing this post I had only 460 a few days after. This is because you have X units of steem each worth 3$. When that dips to 2$ like today its normal for the account to dip also.
Yeah this is true.. Thanks. I have been thinking about the bots some more. I think that maybe I should just use them a bit more sparingly - have a proper strategy...
