There is another way to see upvote bots is an advertising system. In other social platform, if you want visibility for your posts, you would promote them by buying ads. Here, you would buy votes from the bots to shoot you up into the Trending page. But in order to get the full benefit of it, you would need to write quality content which once in the Trending page would be noticed by more people and hopefully more influential people. The extra visibility and upvote that results of it would be what bring you profit, not the bot's upvote itself.
Obviously, if you can get profit from the bot upvote then it's even better.
Actually I agree with you. Bots are used for increasing visibility of posts. There is no meaning of using a bot for 1 photo post or non-quality posts. And almost all bots give profit to users who know how to use them.
In my last article you read that it's possible to earn money from upvote of bots. But I want to say it again for users who don't know how to use a bot in the best way: You should learn it good before you use them and never play gamble with those bid bots or as you know casino will always win and you will always lose. That's why I'm trying to teach people how to use bots safely. But as I mentioned in this post, some bots are keeping all profit for themselves. That's why choosing a bot is the most important thing on Steemit (I wrote this paragraph for new users).
I want to ask you something though. Are you planning to create a bot in future? You're already our witness, I saw some people were creating bots in different communities. What are your thoughts about it?
Còn có cách để bài của mình thịnh hành như thế nữa ạ? E cũng định dùng bot cho những bài e cảm thấy hay nhưng đọc cách dùng bot sao cho có lợi thấy phức tạp quá. Cảm thấy môn học toán dốt nên. Khi nào thấy các bạn chơi bot nhiều mới thuê quá 😂
You can ask me anything about bots (except how to create a bot, because I'm not a developer). I think I can say I solved math of bots, so I can help you about profit.
You might have missed it, in the post where I linked to a an Excel spreadsheet for bot profit calculation. After the screenshot, I’ve mentioned about @teamvn the bot I created and that the community have agreed to let you into its list as a honorary member 😊
I saw it of course, thank you for helping this community. I really hope we can make it grow together. And I'm also thankful to Vietnamese community to let me be in this list.
The bot is only a tiny bot. Upvotes are not big, but it gives some motivation to the members. It is still under development but once stable we will try to get more members delegating to it even 2 or 5SP each to grow its strength and start supporting more users.
It's really good project to keep motivation high.
@quochuy, if bot sends message in both Vietnamese and English I'm thinking about delegation too. Can you change comments of bot for English too?
You mean the bot to write both VN and EN in the same comment? Or switching between VN an EN depending on the user?
