By continuing the discussion, I'm just feeding into the spam bullshit that I flagged it for in the first place. I don't like cluttering up ANYONE's blog (especially my own) with chatter that has nothing to do with the blog itself. It appears you're new here. Unfortunately, the only way to guarantee a post gets noticed is to use bidbots (unless your a whale). I don't like that fact any more than the next guy, but that's life on steemit until they change something. I run a contest that has brought hundreds of posts about awesome abandoned stuff to the platform. I want as many people to participate as possible, so I have to use bidbots so the contest receives as much visibility as possible. The contest is the only thing I use them for, aside from occasionally using them on other people's posts that I feel are very good or undervalued. I have to shell out money for the bidbots and I have to shell out money to the contest winners each week.
Don't act all high and mighty and accuse me of things being beneath me. We have different opinions on something and I'm fine with leaving it at that. You're the asshole who that came to MY page talking shit and calling me spineless in the first place. Is that the type of person you would want to 'indulge' anything to?

If I may, have you done a comparison where you did not use the bid bot just to see? Is anyone landing on your post from viewing the trending feed? Or do you think people already follow you and/or come through alternative contest lists?
(Sorry to extend the mass, but as long as it's down at the bottom of the blog, seems okay)

Hmm interestingly, it looks like they got rid of the little eyeball view counter. But yeah, the comparison is telling. My normal, everyday posts would get around 30 views. The first time I shelled out a decent amount of money to bid it up and get it into trending, that post received 1,100+ views. People do land on posts from the trending feed... but the only way to get to the trending feed is to have a high value post, which is accomplished almost exclusively through bid bots if you're not a whale.

Oh I read about that, they were concerned it wasn't accurate anyway, but that comparison is staggering. You'd think they'd implement some rudimentary analytics for bloggers though, because that would be immensely useful. (I hear tracking pixels get cached, so those don't work).
Yeah, I've been crawling through these transparency bot to see the various use cases. I really hope there is something to address the promotion issue soon, because the bid bot solution is highly inefficient in giving a lot to bot delegators and making the payout number on posts meaningless :(

The only err I see is the continued trolling when I didn't want a discoussion and/or debate in the first place.
