I don't want to fall into the trap of posting mindless and vanilla content though. At least not yet. There are many accounts with higher reputation and more views than mine who only post a single picture and fewer than 50 words in the content (which probably indicates that I'm doing something wrong).
Oh yeah, I completely agree that bots are the bane of Steemit's existence!
oh I dunno...it might mean they have a group of followers who have high steam power and vote for them on a regular basis.
Whales voting for whales? (or perhaps orcas?)
I'm thinking A strategy would be to make a few mindless posts for the bots..then make a couple or three that have intellectual value for humans to read....a day.
I think the new strategy is 1. becoming a whale, 2. creating an upvote bot where people send you SBD for votes, 3. reap the rewards of everyone sending you SBD for "Free Votes", 4. reap the rewards of your bot by sending SBD to it yourself (then sending the SBD back to you in a big recycling of your own SBD), 5. destroy the future of Steemit (check out my link in my previous post for a slightly more detailed viewpoint).
Strategy for everyone else is 1. develop a following, 2. develop content that people will read / upvote, 3. pray that people actually look at your content and upvote you .. a much more difficult endeavor ...
two questions...what is a what (how much SteemPower) ...how does one become a whale?
