I'm losing money

Ughm, great post; but, of the current ~$200 in your payout, how much of this is lost to the bot kings?

Answering this comment would help the next person who gets addicted to this 'process'.

Clearly, bots are a great marketing tool; but, most fail to realize that they're primarily PAYING for 'ad space' and not necessarily quality of work. I think excess use of bots undermine the advertised purpose of Steemit: to get paid to grow your blog; not pay to inflate your account like a hot-air balloon. Eventually, this will burst, leaving the 'owner' hodl to air. Ever tried to do that?

Peace.

    Thanks for your comment. I’m making 200 on this post, 50 of which will go to curators. That leaves me with 150. I paid about 190 sbd to bots..

    Geez...Is my math off...or are you in the hole for $40?

    I realize most people bot for marketing purposes; and, this 'loss' would be understandable; but, certainly not an income builder at face value.

    Thanks for the reply. I hope this helps someone new to STEEMit.

    Peace.
