Interesting article for sure. I need to remember to bring up Post promotion on one of the LEO Roundtable calls as it is worth discussion. Personally, I'm not a fan of having it as a feature at all cus any post could be at top if they have the LEO to spend, it doesn't have to be a good post, which I think is a net negative for the platfrom.

On the positive side, without it I may have never of seen your post.

I can say this. I started on steem in 2016 (and then onto hive and then leo). My first year on steem I posted everyday and earned pennies. It took me more than a year before my posts and the saving on my earnings became anything substantial. So I definitely know the struggles of a newbie. Maybe if I used the promotion feature back then (steem had it) things would have worked out better for me, who knows.

Either way, quality content and determination go a long way.

Good article, good information and good discussion about this topic. Post promotion is something that can be improved somehow for sure.
