While we are all here, and since I've seen at least one attempt at using bidbots as some sort of investment strategy today, there's another one I've been watching for a while that I'm wondering about:
- Set up an account and buy at least $20,000 worth of SP, as well as a good amount of SBD to spend on bots until the posts start paying out.
- Make some sort of self-indulgent shitpost.
- Upvote yourself.
- Have your friend upvote it some modest amount - say about $4.00.
- Leave enough time for some more observant punters to throw in a few votes.
- Pay for $90-$150 worth of upvotes from bidbots. (Making sure to never go so high that you get on the trending page).
- Receive delirious adulation from poor people who see the $120 payout figure and assume you are some sort of messiah.
- Repeat steps 2-6 at least once a day, every day.
Given the near-zero ROI on most bidbots most of the time, where's the profit here?
Selling them.
