I have seen that around leaving his link to almost all posts and that is the fastest way to get people to ignore you.
I have always used Smartmarket for my curation rewards and smartsteem and have always profited because I know how to use it.
Understand how it works and you'll be fine, use it as a crutch instead of getting people to care and engage on your work then you are deluding yourself.
are there any in-depth articles explaining how bid bots or smart steem works? i am 'minnow' and would love to learn more! thanks for consideration
There have been some posts that I saw you can look at the smartsteem tag to show some of the posts
Steembottracker.com is a good way to assess bid bots as well by looking at the details.
