Thanks for putting the @postpromoter bot together @yabapmatt! When I first started using Steem 6 weeks ago I felt a bit disillusioned by the rampant use of bots. However, without a true classifieds or promoted post business model it makes it difficult for content creators to consistently return a profit for their efforts.
Is it possible to change the pegged ratio of 1 SBD to 1 USD on steembottracker to a snapshot of the ratio at prior day of close? That would potentially reduce variance to actual rate of return. My figures show that ROI versus SBD/Steem have been in the ballpark of -20 to -30%. In my view, using bots is a tactic to acquire a user (at cost, like any real business out there) base.
Again, thanks for the great work. You have my upcoming vote for Witness.
