It's great you understand the difference between using bid bots for profit and for visibility. I forgot commenting on your post but downvoted it with ocdb but upvoted it with my own because it was a great video. Bid bots need to either update so they give less ROI per vote and curate when they have no customers looking for promotion/viability or people will continue to downvote them. Most of people using them nowadays is only for ROI which makes it unfair for all other authors and honest curators cause the delegators to the bid bots get higher ROi too due to the bids.

Glad you took it well, you're one in the minority to do so. :D

Looking forward to that post!

Well said, very well said. To be honest, I actually am going to try to get more views by any means other than bots, it encourages me to be more active here etc. I appreciate your vote and view on this. The guy should be back some time this week, I will def tag you lol #salute!

If you advertise on any platform like Instagram or FB you don't earn back your ad spend! I think if you want to use bid bots for visibility you should set the beneficiary to null to burn the steem, don't accept payment or set a beneficiary and donate your returns to a cause
