As a new Steemian bots complicate things. Makes me question if I can succeed on my own merits or do newbies require bots to get noticed?
Can a newbie grow in reputation and renown naturally?
Do bots actually benefit the community or do they just benefit the bot handler?
The reason I am here is to share and interact with a community producing valuable quality content. Yes this is a virtual community, I still want to be involved with it versus letting it be totally dominated by bots.
Like @fullcoverbetting stated this should be about interacting with quality content verses about just making money. Money should be the reward for posting quality material.
It all depends which bots. There are bots who are fighting tag abuse or copyright in frictions.
Yes you can grow in rep naturally, but it will include lots of work. The most fast way to increase your rep is to place genuine comments on post created by higher reps. Each upvotes they will give you will increase your reputation. 1 full upvote could mean a complete jump in rep points.
Thank you for that concise answer.
Could you recommends good bots to work with?
If possible, could you like bots to avoid ( without too much risk?)
I appreciate the affirmation that the way to grow naturally is by quality resonces to higher rep curators.
I did try minnowbooster, minnowpond and smartsteemmarket. All did what I expected.
I also did try puppybot, but I won’t recomment it.
Before using then make sure to go to their blogs to find out how to use them.
On steembottracker you can also bidding bots but I never did use them! The bits I did use are flat rate bots!
I decided to try a few but did stop using them. They could give you a false feeling of appreciation!
But do your own research also because I am no bot expert!
Thank for the information. Being new, there seems to be a lot to sort out. Ill continue to do the research.
