    Thanks for the comment, I didn't really realize that the quality was going to be so fiercely disliked. I thought that using Steemit to comment on how Steemit might profit would be praised instead of being a shitpost.

    I've written a new post and bought some votes for it, I'm hoping that it's in tune with the community's views,...

    This topic of boosting post is a very sensitive one , the main sensitivity comes from the fact that people view this as a "infinite money % gain" , which to be fair is a reasonable view in the first reading of the situation.

    This however reflects poorly on the reputation of STEEMIT as it can be viewed as a ponzi scheme of infinite money pool , so to avoid any such misapprehension people here are very sensitive of how bid bots are used to reach trending page.

    Having said that , you are not the first one nor will be the last one to be in this situation. Write posts that you think are quality posts and you will do well.

    _Cheers

    Hey @itstime Thank you for your time and explanation. I don't think it's a ponzi personally because I've seen many of them come and go, where my overall plan does involve churning out unique and interesting subjects and conversations. I think my original error was thinking that the description of the plan was one of those interesting subjects :) I wasn't aware of the backstory or that it may affect the community badly. I'm now well-versed in my mistake, and I do apologize to you and everyone.

    Do you mind seeing my newest contender for a 'quality post'? Keep in mind yes I did use a ref link twice but I think all fair in love in war:
