this quote seems to say differently
"To make this platform a better place we all have to work hand in hand. We need to be united against the abuse of bid based promotion service.I believe that every promotion service should have a maximum limit of return like @minnowbooster have."
it sounds like you are trying to say in your conclusion that services like minnowbooster is the better solution over bid based bots when in reality they are basically the same thing.
people paying money to directly promote their post instead of hoping they will organically earn purely from the content it holds which only happens typically with a large following.
No,actually it is not the same.The other other promotion service take a large bids but @minnowbooster only take 11.89 SBD bids from the normal members and 14.35 SBD bids from the white list members.I have seen people sending 50 SBD to other promotion service.
if you go to the bid bot tracking webpage you can see that you can promote many posts with as little as .1sbd or as much as several hundred dollars with the average usually around $3-5 and you will get varying degrees of return mostly due to the fluctuating cost of steem and typically within a window of 0-15% return its great there are services like minnowbooster i am not telling you to not promote it im just saying bid based bots can be used in small amounts without being harmful to the reputation of your account and should not be seen as only being used to dump large amounts of money towards pushing a post to be huge for trending.
I am also a supporter of bid based bots.But I just say that;at least whatever you write has to be original.Don't create a post with fake image and fake information,then make it trending.See the first example and his transaction details.
He used his money in smart way and made a huge profit.He played it in a fair way.He didn't bend any rules or was trying to deceive anyone and also fee l free to ask me if you want to see your post in the trending list.
