We had the promoted tab that allowed us to burn sbd for exposure, but buying votes is more profitable now. I'm not against prime getting exposure, but some are doing it purely for profit and spending serious amounts. I think that harms steemit. We can reach choose how to act, but our actions may be judged

Ahh thanks for the reply, I read through a few other comments as well.
Right now the promoted tab is worthless pretty much. Voting bots are giving better returns. Actually, using voting bots usually pays back more than you send, which must be why people abuse them like above..... Maybe this will be resolved when SBD is worth 1USD.
I think the promotion tab needs to be revamped or incentivized if it is ever going to compete. Burning SBD at this point seems like a bad idea, wouldn't that make them worth more?
I wrote about the promoted tab recently. It's pretty much useless. People are making serious money by buying votes. I choose not to. The trending/hot/promoted tabs are some of the ways posts can be presented. I'd like better ways to find what interests me.
Have you checked out appbase?
I haven't had a chance yet, but looks like some customization is inbound
Not yet, but I'll try to find time
