Votes for promotion is something that several users do not like, the reality is that it helps a lot for other readers to see a work that perhaps the user believes that all users should know or simply to make yourself known to others.
For that, there are users who offer promotion services, which are promotion services, you send a payment to the user and he votes your publication.
Doing this has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage:
1.- It is easier for someone to see your work.
2.- You generate more HIVE POWER and REWARD.
3.- You get more votes from users seeking good content (if its good)
4.- You get followers.
5.- If the post is very good you can get automatic votes.
6.- They leave you comments and it is always nice to read them.
Disadvantages:
1.- You always need money to request it.
2.- There are many users who request this service and you always put your money at risk.
3.- You also draw the attention of users who downvote.
4.- The vote always leaves you less HIVE or HBD than the one you send.
5.- There may be comments that you do not like.
Promotion services
They didn't pay me much less but there are different promotion services.
Some user asks you for a minimum amount of HIVE, only that he only gives votes and receives payments when it is active.
To know when the service is active, he lets you know through his profile.
What you do have to know is that when you buy the vote it fluctuates depending on the value of the Hive, that is, it may be that if today you vote with a promotion service and it has a value of 36 then if the hive drops tomorrow the value of the vote consequently will go down, but it is not the same when it goes up at the end that post value of 36 almost always ends up going down 20%, that is, remaining at 28 so that they are aware when that happens.
What do you think is best? Should this services be allowed (which will be of great help to most especially the newbie) or Should it be banned? (Which will prevent misuse from individual). I would love to hear your take on this.
I suggest the the service should be allow because the advantages their is more than the disadvantages
Thank you so much for posting this. I think this should be allowed (but I get why so many are opposed to it.) Unfortunately, it isn't possible to make everyone happy. It kind of sucks having to give trolls an audience but I think it is better to have an open dialogue and to give everyone a chance to share their opinions.
Good question!
I think this should NOT be encouraged, because it reduces the overall quality of content. If votes are bought, shit posts are even more dominating the scene. Autovotes are bad enough. Better to have a strong incentive to build up your own HP instead of borrowing it.
But if we are to consider the newbies, it would definitely help them get more views. So I think another question should be is there a way to balance this out, without the promotional parties becoming greedy: maybe something like only voting on quality posts, and if the post fail to meet the criteria they forfeit the payment, I think this should be able to filter out the weed from the wheat.
But why buy votes, if one could buy rather Hive instead and don´t have to give a part of the money to the voting service provider? It is like buying your own home over time (=building up HP) is better than paying rent for the rest of your life.
On ecency there is a system where you can collect points just by being active and then use those to promote your posts. Better than buying votes.
And filtering for quality never has worked. Although can´t rule out that a new creative idea may bring the solution.
