I thank you for linking the article and you are 100% correct, Dtube does take 25%. However, if you use upvoting services for your dtube posts you earn a percentage back on those curation rewards (I think its around 25%). I appreciate you educating me more on this as well!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If you purchase a vote, the curation reward from that vote goes to the bot. Not you. And voting bots rarely give any significant profit in the first place. They get you exposure, additional upvotes from the community and increased followers. But the profit margin is more often than not very slim, if anything. Some will claim to consistently give profit, but in my experience it's never huge margin.
I've used voting bots on DTube posts as well so I'm well aware that it isn't profitable. Let's be honest here Joe, you're clutching at straws. I'm sure you know that you haven't ever made a profit on a DTube post where you've purchased votes. Just own up to that fact.
If the time stamp doesn't work, go to 9.20... The worst thing is how he tries to lure in the inexperienced(to pay for courses) as if those are net profits, while if you check the transactions, that's 100% paid votes(hundreds of STEEM and SBD) and probably even heavily -ROI. Disgusting.
If I upvote a DTube post, then I get a curation reward from them for that upvote. Based on that, the bidbots would get that curation reward for their upvotes or am I wrong here? If I'm right, then the bots get their share for the vote while anyone who pays get less.
25% exists on every single post on steemit, so that 25% is an extra upon that towards dtube? If yes, then bidbots can't really be profitable at all.
You're spot on.
