Buy upvotes - is not a profitable business?

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi everyone! I did my little experiment, and I found that buying upvotes at https://steembottracker.com - is not a profitable thing.
See for yourself: I paid different six bots in total 1.66 SBD, and got only 1.458 SBD and 0.378 STEEM POWER.
It turns out that I even went into a small shortage.

0.25 SBD to @levitation

0.14 SBD to @minnowvotes

0.30 SBD to @kittybot

0.70 SBD to @minnowhelper

0.10 SBD to @mercurybot

0.17 SBD to @adriatik

Why did this happen? Why there is no benefit from their upvotes?

I think it's because the price of steem went down, that might have an influence on your earnings

Hi! would the price of steem could affect this? :( Are you using these bots? if so, how are you doing on this?

Its profitable depends on how many people opt for that perticular vote...

Are you using these bots? if so, how are you doing on this? have a profit?
