Hello @inquiringtimes
I am happy that I came across this post. I have been considering the issue of voting bots for days as the issue is very political on this platform.
I am someone who puts great amount of work into my content so I have no fears about being accused of Spam.
I also believe that the main purpose of voting bots is to gain more visibility for my work and not to make profit. Profit will come when people see you as a person of quality and decide to follow you and engage with your content.
It is very bad in my opinion to use voting bots to increase post earnings of shit posts. I believe that such person is just projecting his/her stupidity.
When it comes to the issue of quality content. i believe that quality content is that which brings value to the reader is anyway, be it for entertainment or educative purposes. It is something the author will be proud to have his/her name on in the future.
And when it comes to voting bots usage, I plan to use it after 24 hours as I believe that it will be fair tothe people who upvoted my post ealier than that. Thats my two cents on this issue.
I am looking forward to hearing the opinion of others
thank you for sharing! It's a difficult question to answer, and there will be many different answers.
I have nothing against using vote bots on quality content. It's indeed a great way to simply boost your visibility, especially for people who don't have a lot of followers or users that upvote their content. It's a way to get your content out there, to be seen. But all those lame posts with no value are becoming more and more popular, and a lot of them are abusing the power of voting bots to game the system.
In my opinion, vote bots shouldn't be profitable. They should only boost your post, but you would get a vote that's worth less than what you pay for. Then bots would only be used for visibility purposes and it wouldn't be worth to pay for these services if you're posting memes or two sentence posts.
As it seems now, they are quite profitable so they are being abused.
