But how do you build up your Steem Power by using bots? You could just use that money to directly buy SP, no?
Also, you're just much more likely to get a Curie upvote when you don't use bots. I've heard that they don't tend to upvote posts that have more than $5.00 in rewards.
EXACTLY! That's what I figured when I was using the bots and losing. My SP was growing - but I realised that it would be easier just to buy SP directly. But some people prefer to do it the bidbot way - and why not, I suppose, if it works for them :)
