I don't really understand the mindset of some people, who have all the information clearly available to them - the bot tracker is widely spread now and should be a bible for posters on here. It's become a real pain for me now because I have to hold out right until the last few minutes of a bid bot ending voting just to make sure some misguided fool doesn't post a bid that puts the total bid well over the Bid Bot's total upvote so nobody gets anything out of it. In fact some times I am waiting for round two or three on a bot just so I can get a decent return on my money out of it. To be honest (and I know this could be seen as backslapping - but it is deserved) the best value out right now is to send $4 SBD to @smartmarket - just did that for a post and got a $11.57 upvote. No worries, no hassle. That and @smartsteem website are by far the top players for REAL content creators on Steemit - hopefully in future Steemit will find a way to stamp out the spam posters trying to make a quick buck by moving funds between multiple accounts and finding the tiniest flaws to profit from.
