Do you know what year it was made? You will love it. I took it on a 335 mile trip last summer and it was a great ride.
Yeah, a lot of the debate on bidbots and paid votes has centered on the garbage that gets promoted. But there are bidbots that blacklist those users. The services I've settled on using have whitelists for people who have shown they post quality content. I've started sticking to those rather than bidbots. Still, there are bidbots like buildawhale that publish a blacklist of users they will not allow to use their services and limit the ROI to 10%. So it's not just a get rich quick scheme to use them. By making Steemit a system to invest into, it's always going to favor economic transactions. The problem with relying on upvotes from the community is that most users have no upvote power. I'm slowing building mine and use it to upvote cyclists.
Not sure. I saw the advert online, the guy wanted to sell because he was moving abroad. The price was fantastic. I bought it without asking for any details or even seeing the bike! Currently it is parked up some 4000 km from me. Need to get it shipped before i can start enjoying it.
Yes, I have noticed your posting and promotion and have found it very interesting. That is why i would enjoy a post with all these details for people like me. I would love to promote good content which i produce. I have no interest in seeing the trending page, because it is filled with trash!
It mostly does somewhere between breaking even and ten percent. But it pays people for curating my posts. It helps attract new followers. I hope more people see the cycling posts and become curious. I don't put enough in to make the main trending page but it helps to get noticed on the trending page for the film tag for my movie reviews. I'll be scaling those back as I start riding again.
