Congratulations @invest.country!

- Pending payout - Ranked 9 with $ 2,92
I also upvoted your post to increase its reward
If you like my work to promote newcomers and give them more visibility on the Steem blockchain, consider to vote for my witness!
@arcange thanks for the kind note and the upvote. Though we have been mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade for newcomers, we do not feel there is anything to be thrilled about it because we got there by using a bidbot to upvote us. Anyone with money and without any skill or talent could do that.
We also find it strange that should we have used 100 steem for the promotion, we would have gained a reputation far in excess of 50, and we would not have qualified for this recognition!
Weird. The whole thing looks so fake.
Thank you for your feedback @invest.country.
My hit parade aims at providing information on what's happening on the blockchain and the related information regarding posts made by users, whatever its content. Should I exclude yours because you used a bidbot, this would be censorship. Then, up to the community to support or disagree, using upvotes or downvotes.
You're also right about reputation. We all know the system is skewed and one can pay for reputation. As long as it is not fixed, we will have to live with it.
