RE: Actifit Month One: Stats, App v0.3, Charity Support, ~50k SP and more
Hi,
the app and the project behind it looks really promising and I like what you do. But why do you need so many bid bots. It seems all the attention comes from those bots. Don't you think your project would gain attention without the massive use of bots?
I'm looking forward to your next posts about the app and actifit in general.
Kind regards,

hey @secret.service,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and enthusiasm about the project, and for inquiring about why would we use bid bots.
Bid bots, when used properly, are actually a great marketing tool. They are quite similar to you placing an ad on facebook, google,... or other services.
While we rely on organic marketing and word of mouth, yet promotional tools help reach out a much wider audience, and hence ensures your idea reaches a great amount of people.
While this can be abused by low content paying for bid bots, this is definitely very helpful for showcasing great projects and great ideas, which we hope many share our thoughts of Actifit falling into the latter category.
Thanks again!
Hi @mcfarhat,
Thank you for your honest reply. I never thought of bid bots as a marketing tool. I understand the need for it. So you actually use them not to get a high payout. You use them to get on trending page and get attention. It is really like ads would work.
Unter this circumstate I fully support the use of bots. Keep up the good work! I expect great things from this project 🙂

@secret.service, I think that the use of bots here is to get more exposure and push this message in this community. Using bots isn't wrong secondly this is a more sort of announcement so it is better to resteem it and give it more exposure. The projects will remain unsung if nobody says about it. So, they have done the awesome job and will continue.
Hi,
I agree with you that the project is awesome and deserves the attention. However it looks weird if the attention is bought using bid bots.

Looks like someone read my mind.well said!!!
Seems like you are new to this platform. You will get it why people use massive bots and bids. However this one is for good cause.
