If you want to 'promote' your content, I invite you to check the promoted tab and the promote button at the bottom of every article, instead of sending your SBDs to market manipulators.

If I understand the promoted option correctly, you are paying steemit.com to promote the content on steemit.com only... right? I think you can understand why most advertisers would prefer to promote their content on the blockchain rather than with a single block explorer.
