Thank you so much! This is really interesting! In your tips post, would you mind explaining when and why we should change our voting percentage?
Regarding bots, I feel bad for my followers that the rewards on my posts are so low. I was thinking that upvoting with bots a few days after I post will help. From what I've seen so far, the bots really won't help my rewards at all.
Is there another way to help followers who are upvoting my posts?
Changing the % is mainly to reserve your Voting Power.
For now, you'll need to give full votes to gain rewards, but in future, you can change the % say for comments - it's nice to upvote the best comments on your blog I think.
The bots will boost your rewards a little at times, but mostly they are not profitable and the money you pay is for 'advertising'.
Followers who are upvoting with commenting should comment so you can vote them :)
