I wonder what is the excuse for 'botting' if it doesn't get you trending. It won't get you much attention, but you may make a small profit. I don't do it, but then I have people supporting me anyway for nothing. I don't self vote either as I'm not that desperate for a few extra cents.
There are lots of people botting junk posts every day and some of us flag them to remove their profits.
I did it to get a few Steem per post. I generally make $0.2-$0.3 per post and i give out almost twice that per day. So i boted a bit to earn a few coins more.
Ill probably give it up...
It is just only a few more dollars anyway.
I don't consider it worthwhile to me. I'm more interested in human interaction and I do okay for rewards. You need more followers and that comes through interaction. This post has been shared a lot, so that may gain you some.
Yeah, youre probably right. You dont really see where youre standing until you stop botting.
