Sorry about that! 😅 I was so focused on the difference between Boost and Promote that I forgot to answer your question! 😆
I recommend using the Promote Feature when you believe that your post is of sufficient length (where the "sufficient" meaning depends on your readers) and is high-quality (and your post is new). On the other hand, if you don't think your post will get a lot of upvotes, I recommend using the Boost Feature. 😀
Okay, thank you very much!
I've used the promotion feature for my latest post (just started using hive again - was inactive since back in Steem days) - let's see!
Please take note that #Ecency does not boost posts which are 5 days old (even though the payout time is 7 days after posting). It already happened to me several times that when I requested my posts to be boosted at the 5th day of posting, my requests were denied and my Points were refunded. 🤔
