that's the bait they keep flashing with out there to try and get more customers instead of curating content based on quality, effort or something else that benefits Steem as a whole.
Who the fuck is still buying votes?? I am guessing it is stuff that won't get much "attention" (votes) otherwise.
Edit: looking forward to the end of voting rings. If they started to actually curate content instead, perhaps all that steem they have accumulated will be worth something.
Many third world peeps and those who know bots like @minnowvotes, @boomerang, etc. have no cap on ROI.
There are still some, it's not difficult to find them. The return on bought votes is now amazing, or would be if they were left alone.
yeah, I am sure they are amazing. the return for the sellers is pretty good too.
As it always was!
If people are that butthurt about the old system why not wait to build a Shit Media token or build a Steem engine ShiToken and run a bid bot there and all the botters and their customers can post and bid bot to their hearts content!
If it’s such a beneficial service surly that tribe would be a success independent from steem!
I’m keen to eat humble pie if that’s true
As long as they just sell profitable votes in their own SE token while accepting steem or said SE token it's all good.
They are doing this, but they are selling the tokens for Steem votes ;) SCT.
the (cake) pie is a lie
I'd bet there are tons of voting rings being made right now and we have a lot of voting ring alike systems out there as well... dwindling in the grey area.
