Daily Payout Timing Changed..... | @whalebuilder

That is right, it doesn't cost you anything to upvote but your Voting power. That applies when you have all SP of your own. Bots have a different situation. They are being delegated SP by other users, which they have to pay daily. They lease the SP by investing STEEM. These are the variables that need to be considered. Total vid amount for a day is used to cover these expenses for that day. I hope you understand.

Hi, not really. So the invested bids are converted to SP immediately which then increases the voting power of the current vote? Or the next one? If the bids are converted to SP and the bot votes and it doesn't cost bot anything, how does the bot make losses? The SP can just be converted back into SBD if the wallet owner chooses. Voting doesn't reduce your SP it only reduces your daily voting power. So all bids are profit for the bot owner who then returns losses to the bidders. Is that correct?
