RE: Buying upvotes is the secret sauce to the steem economy

in #steemit7 years ago

I've just used upvoting bots for a little while now and don't see it making a big difference to my account. Not that I've been using a lot of SBD towards it, but I've been trying it and It seems like everything has just been stagnant.

I took a look at your wallet. It looks like everytime you sent $ to a bidbot, you got back twice the value. Can you confirm this?

You are right that it does seem like double when you initially look at it, but I think about it after payout. I'm not really sure if it is worth it... that is kind of why I commented. For instance one of my posts came to $0.60, but after 7 days, it cashed out at $0.25 SBD and 0.09 SP. I mean SBD and Steem are usually pretty close in value, so I look at that as $0.34... that ends up being less than what it said it would be cashed out at. So in my mind (and my thinking may be wrong), I look at it as when it cashes out, it may end up being around half of what it says it is worth... which takes me back down to about what I paid for an upvote anyways. Seems to break even to me. If I am wrong in my thinking, please enlighten me.
