You will see a lot of new accounts just showing to be the ones who are actually here for the support of minnows. And unfortunately many of us fall prey to them. They ask for SBDs which are to be sent to them, and we just do it on regular basis and do not realize that what is actually happening with us.
Let me show you what they do actually.
Today I just saw one of the minnows paying to @minnowpond, so I just visited @minnowpond timeline and saw that they had a huge followers.
Just searched for their post as to how it works, so I found their post about how to use @minnowpond. Here is what I got.
As their post says that for resteem you need to pay 0.75 SBDs and in order to receive Upvote too with that you need to send 1 SBD.
So like the other minnows I did the same by sending 1 SBD for my 1st post and then sending 1 SBD for my 2nd post an hour ago.
So I had my post resteemed thankfully but I also paid for Upvote too, so yeah off course I recieved my Upvote as you can see this shining and dominating comment from @minnowpond, informing me about @cryptohustlin Upvoting on behalf of them.
But here is what Mr @cryptohustlin did, may be trying to be fooling us.
First he Upvoted on my that particular post with the strength of 70%, and then after some time he decreased it to 1% as I cross checked his Upvote on www.steemnow.com, thanks to them.
And this is the value of his 1% Upvote on my post for which I paid in extra.
This is what @minnowpond receive SBDs from a huge number of minnows on daily basis.
This is really unacceptable, I mean this is our own fault to be running behind these so called minnows care things. This is us who provided them the chance to do things like these to us.
Why don't we believe in ourselves? I mean instead of relying on all these so called minnow cares, why don't we try to be better by producing better posts. The only thing we need is patience and consistency. Believe me if you had your patience and consistency you no longer be needing these so called minnow cares.
Thanks

I give you my 100% upvotes to your hard work.
Please save your SBD
Thanks dude :)
Yup, totally agree, i used to also use resteembots but stopped that as wel. Personally I dont even look at what these bots resteem because its just way to diverse and moatly stuff i didnt sign up for. At the same time, you barely ever get your moneys worth back.
However, i would like to give a positive example. I joined @qurator which only asks for a one time fee to join. Its a very open, transparent and supporting community for minnows!
Thanks dude
Exellent info. I've been wondering how those professional steemians can vote for so many posts and still give any value.
Also how*** Did ***you do that? On the pic you show the pop-up with the people who voted for the post And the value of the upvote! I click the ^ arrow and I only get the names of those who upvote.
Well I guess no body cares for other, it's just a business for them.
I was wondering how they were working the system. So thank you for clearing that question up.
As with any system, put in the hard work is the only true way. Anything else is a shortcut, with short-term benefits and possibly a negative effect on your account.
Thanks for sharing. Upvoted & Followed :)
That's some shady shit.. never lookes in but i figured some these bots and minnows support are scams and likely never get your investment back.
But what he is doing and minnowpond bot needs to he stopped
Yeah dude, this is what we all should cross check .
That's a bit weird. Resteem and upvote was just for 0.25 SBD.
At least according to this (3 days old) article:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@minnowpond/help-support-minnowpond
My fault. They raised the price. I didn't see it because of all the resteems...
