Introducing Promoted Content

The Steem Dollars will be added to the total received by the post

Does this mean you will effectively lose nothing for promoting your own content?
If so, that would contradict:

In other words, this content is self-curated in a way that can help readers discover new authors that believe in themselves enough to invest in their own content and build an audience.

Then there would be no real reason left to view this promoted content.

Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post.

Total promotion payments received by the post, not total author rewards. Author does not get the boost payments.

I see, thanks for clarifying. I think it would be a good idea to edit that it to the post, because it might confuse some people. People could accidently promote their content thinking they would get it back.

Yeah, I was going to ask the same thing. I was reading through the comments for clarification because this seemed the only logical way for it to work - show on the post total, but not be paid to the author - but it is ambiguous in the OP.
