I am with you. I have been here like 11 days. and i got messages like what you said.. send me 1 sbd blah blah... so i tried it. Looking at the upvotes has more.. but looking at the views of my post are the same still low. It does not tally.
However, I also watch videos of other great youtubers that bots makes you more $$$..
So, if we are here on steem and wanting to make only $$$, the platform will be meaningless.
As I was watching videos how people make thousands on steemit it is all with bots.
Like you.. I want to be here with honesty.. Bring content - great as I could be and bring more people. Comment on my post If they like and downvote or upvote me as they wish.. that is more satisfying.. DON'T WE ALL AGREE?
Yeah its a fine line. I get envious about the dollar other people make whrn my posts are clearly better, but fuggit, community is whats more rewarding. I suppose. 🤣
yes, resteem I think good resteem service is better than upvote bots it's like re-tweet or shares on facebook it can give you more exposure and recognition as an author
@elvielins I an average steemit user and a newbie, and I squeezed from my monthly salary 200$ that I can barely to effort my last money, I not rich, because I created something for the community
I noticed that you can use resteem services to promote your self, while for upvote bots you need to spend a lot of money not every one have 200$ to promote one post, and I one of them it was my last money because I believe in that project(and it was my first time on the trending page)
for resteem you can pay 0.1 BSD and get exposed your content and if someone upvoting you it's because they read your content, and liked it
so for that a newbie like me that don't have money on upvotes bots is a chance to get noticed.
and yes I watched those video and you know what?
I don't believe that most of the content is bulshit
and they showing you the number they earned from the post
but not showing you that they paid shit load of money and used bots
I and average steemanian I'm like you I don't have money for upvotes bots but I found my last money to promote this because I want me and newbews and average users will succeed on steemit and do it without paying money(because I don't have it, but I do have my original content)
and I more than with you
I want that average steemanian like me and you will succeed here on steemit, and resteem services will expose you to more people, and if they like your content they will upvote.(only this time because they read and love what you do, and not because you paid bot to get upvote)
