hey wales.. I have one question regarding the votes on your post.. if that is too personal please just disregard.. I am just very curious..
I want to understand the economics behind the bidding bots..
So I guess that most of the 6 Dollars you got voted for are bid bot votes?
Can you tell me how much of that amount is due to bid bots and how much you had to pay for it?
kind regards

It's very similar to the tree planter bot you use

THX.. but with the treeplanter bot I actually makes no economic return at all... I am doing this because I like the treeplanting project..
..so I do not really have the kind of feedback I need from my plays with treeplanter... would it be a correct guess that you paid 5 steem and received 5 steem?... so no return at all or can you give it a number like 25% return on the bid bot investment? so it is all about people jumping on the vote for your return after the bid bot voted? or.. before.. front running??

It's just to make myself feel better. Mostly I get hardly a vote and the first 4 months I got hardly a vote, and because I've been feeling like stopping writing lately I think it is for the best in the short term even if it's not real

THX for your reply.. actually in my eyes you are very successful here..
if you do not make it with your daily contribution, great content and nice editing steemit is definitely dead!
I am happy you did also share your motivation for the bot.. never saw it from that side..
