Over the last few weeks I have been examining many various situations on steemit and have written several posts that have been helpful. At least some people have said they benefited from my content. I'm thankful for those people who follow me and even who maybe don't follow me but check in from time to time to see what I'm writing about next.
Three issues have been brought to my attention. Each one has multiple sides or facts that can be argued multiple ways. The bad news is that the one main issue is so polarizing it appears that some people have went to the extent to down vote or deliberately not upvote content even when it was worthy when the writer upvotes their own content including posts, comments, etc. Alot of people read my post about My Five Favorite Up Vote Bots. Some peopleare so anti supporting your own content that the don't even like it when you buy a few up votes from a bot. They think that doing this somehow Cheating the System
One way to get around this stigma is to use Proxy Upvotes.
Let me explain exactly what I mean by Proxy UpVotes and why you need to start using them. Many people that are making a large amount of money on steemit figured out a few things early on that they do not want to share with anyone. Some paid larger players to upvote, follow, comment,upvote comments, create alternative accounts and delegate steem power to these accounts and then up vote their own posts and comments to make money and cheat the system. Not only does this trick the system it also creates a social media contagion. People start seeing all of these up votes and comments and they want in on that for sure. They get paid a curation fee to get in on that. Plus it has to be good content if so many people are liking it right?
So the system was designed this way. No one says anything to the guy who figured out the system and made a ton of money. However, if you even think about clicking the upvote button or buying some upvotes and doing the same thing the bigs guys are doing but on a much, much smaller scale people are like, HOW DARE YOU!
This Is Where My Concept of Proxy UpVotes Comes In Handy.
Not too long ago I came across several posts in the introduce thyself area of steemit. Some of these people were super awesome people. They had written great content, had made 1000's of comments that appeared to be legit. These same people had not followed every single person in an attempt to get a bunch of followers. Each one of them appeared to be playing by a set of unwritten rules and using steemit in a very responsible way. The sad thing is that they had earned almost zero dollars for all of their efforts.
I'm a pretty good person most people would probably say. I'm honest and fair. I don't mind hard work and I'm punctual. If I say I'm going to do something I do it. When I seen several people who had tried so hard but had not made anything it made me sad and worried. What if these talented minds just leave? What if they never reach their full potential because while some were cheating the system and getting ahead these people were grinding it out and not going anywhere. What if I could change that?
I went and gave everyone a penny up vote. I had written an article with a detailed list of how I was using up bots and I thought, "Maybe I should send them a link." That is when it hit me....PROXY UP VOTES was born that day, at that moment. I decided to take some SBD and secretly send some money to the upvote bots with a twist...Instead of sending a link to one of my blog posts I used several others posts. I did this to help people at least get $1 for their posts. Not only did I do this I also shared their content on the chat services as some people can't figure this out either. Many of the posts I resteemed and did some secret marketing external to steemit. From the moment I first started getting thank yous, I knew I had found my purpose on Steemit.
You Want UpVotes But Don't Want It To Look Like You Sent It To Your Self.
Or you just can't figure out all of the details to get the bots to up vote you. Maybe you don't want to take the risk of overpaying for upvotes. Or you don't want people being mad at you for up voting your own work.
This Is Where My Proxy UpVote Service Comes In Handy. I'll explain in full details.
By using @binkley proxy up vote system it will just like you have a super duper fan. The added up votes will increase your rank in your category for a while too usually plus you will get more comments. It helps to have some followers so they see the buzz too and maybe they try to jump on board with their up votes and comments.
Here is how it will work....
People who want to receive the full benefits of @binkley UpVotes By ProxyBots can send $1 -$2 SBD to @binkley. Since my vote right now usually only gets you about 2 cents I'll redirect your SBD to the upvote bots using my special algorithm. I'll Always spend at Least 80% of your donated SBD On Proxy Up Votes and will spend 100% to try and break someone even. Sometimes due to large amounts of orders this might take a while to process. As I'm currently doing this manually. I'm working on a bot and potentially might buy a bot designed for this purpose. If you are a developer and want to sell a bot to me that can do what I'm asking that me up and we can talk.
There are no guarantees that you will make money doing this. What is guaranteed is that you will get 4 more upvotes and comments from Upvote bots that look like @binkley paid for to upvote your post, hence the concept UPVOTE BY PROXY!**
Leave a comment below if you need more information. If you think this is a great idea please share with your friends. Thanks for the follow and the upvotes!
Yes, I Know I Have Two Similar Articles. I'm Split Testing As All Good Writers Will Do From Time To Time.
Thank you for sharing. I hate spam plagiarism crap more than anyone. I would refund the money if the content was total crap. You can actually see in my wallet where i cancelled a proxy up vote because of cheetah.

I do a ton of research before bidding for the bots. Each bot has it's on power and rules which makes it complicated. So far I have been very successful in getting people some profit but better than that is a lot of exposure. I even done it for myself on one post just to test it out. Now I have done it for several people with good results. Working on building a bot to handle this task for me. Currently I do it manually which is tough. $2 SBD gets you more usually than $1. Sometimes it is just .50 cents is all you make. Sometimes $1 sbd. Tons of new people to follow and pick up some new followers and just grow a little each time. High Quality Content helps and Day one or Day 2 of a post. Been trying to reply for like an hour but steemit just spinned.

I found this because of your comment on gentlebot. I guess what I would want a bot to do is read content like gentlebot does and only vote for real quality content. Your idea is good, but it ultimately just feels like another randowhale or similar, but with anonymity.
What needs to happen is bots, like gentlebot, who only upvote good content, even if that content may or may not be already popular. Sure, the goal is to make money, but having a healthy ecosystem of curator bots that aren't just looking to maximize short-term curator rewards, but rather reward the best content so that there's a real financial incentive for human users to also reward the best content... does that make sense? I worry I'm talking in circles.
The problem to solve is, how do we make the goals of the long-term success of steemit align with the short-sighted goals of individuals trying to make $?
Incentives for original, useful/entertaining/inspiring content, disincentives for spammy/plagiaristic content. And how do we make it so the vanguard doesn't lose their shirts?

Sometimes when I reply from the Esteem app which I love it will post somewhere else. Maybe my fat fingers. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and concerns. I actually responded above but it didn't go where I wanted it to and I just now noticed. I pretty much agree with you 100% I HATE SPAM. I have even cancelled proxy upvotes because I seen @cheetah. You can see it in my wallet. Building the bot to spot it like my eye does will be a challenge. Maybe if it sees the steem cleaners or similiar it can avoid the post.

Interesting concept, however this does not hide anything for those who actually use your service. In fact, using the proxy bot is even more open to the community as a self voter, than creating a 2nd, 3rd and 4th account doing the work for you and your friends, ie 3rd party upvote accounts shared with some friends. Anyway, like your service and will give you an assignment. Will send an URL to you and looking forward to the results :)
