Developing good content is a skill that is learned. It involves both having useful information and knowing how to get people to want to click that link. On this platform where reputation is everything I believe that as a newbie you have to work extra hard. You have to grind to get to that point where people will click your link just just from seeing your reputation. I know I do this. People who buy votes are missing the point, or maybe they are not really interested in blogging, in which case their buying votes is very rational.
A few months of work, you'll be reaping the rewards. That's how it works. I think it is better to belong to groups of steemians where you can get other writers to know you and learn from them. I am learning to elevate my stuff just from interacting with them. Staying motivated is another benefit of belonging to a group.
If everyone starts buying votes, good content would be hard to find and being here would no longer be intellectually rewarding.

Yes building relationships is another angle that could be explored and one that many people don’t really do. So if you had the opportunity to use a vote bot, would you?
I don't want to. I want things to happen "organically". I know we have to connect with other people to get votes but I still want to know that a big reason for why I am growing is because I provide good stuff. In a year from now, I want to have become a much better writer.
