Do you have any examples of beginners who have done well using bots? I'm honestly curious, because I have yet to run across anyone from the beginning of these vote buying ventures that has ended up doing well, instead it is those who sell the votes that do well. steemit is a beautiful opportunity to do things differently, yet everyone keeps falling into the trap of the same old nonsense that creates hierarchies where the majority ends up at the bottom.
It makes me sad, those of us who came before the introduction of these, unfortunate incentives, did not fall prey to the 'get rich quick' ideas, instead worked hard, consistently. I know many examples of those who did well that way.
upvote services & bought votes are simply a tool which can be leveraged to gain new visibility. However, this is worth nothing if the content behind it isn't good.
That's why I decided that buying votes through @smartmarket (instant vote service on smartsteem.com) should be some what of a null game. It can be profitable - when for example the STEEM-Price rises. But can also result in a loss if the price drops.
And I personally don't believe in get rich quick. Buying Votes is part of a long-term strategy, which can be used to leverage the way STEEM works right now.

That's not correct. When you buy a vote from smartmarket - you always get what you paid for. No overbidding there.
If the STEEM-price falls, the user loses a bit. If the STEEM-Price rises, the User gains even more profit.
