Hi @chekohler
I appreciate your amazing comment. Thx for sharing your view on this particular issue.
Ive also done a little experimentation with bid bots vs upvote bots and I agree upvote bots get you very little exposure and interaction from other steemians
I guess we're having similar experience so far.
Resteem bots will get you more views but since we don’t have a view counter per article anymore we won’t know how much not that that matters too much
The thing is that what I care at the end of the day is simple: how many new users interested with crypto found me and commented my post. Amount of upvotes or views doesnt matter (I think).
My personal expecience with using resteeming bots is a so far quite positive. Definetly results are better comparing results received from upvoting post into trending page.
Whenever I would spent 15-20 SBD on resteeming bots I would get 5-10 valuable new contacts (comments from people I didnt know who are blogging about crypto). So I would say that it was worth it so far. But it really depends on resources and expectations.
But who knows. Maybe soon I will also change my mind. Perhaps Im just to over optimistic :) Thx again for sharing your view. I appreciate it a lot! :)
Yours
Piotr
