What's up DTube!
On today's Visions Vlog, I speak on Upvote Bots, and why I choose not to use them.
Essentially, my choice comes down to co-creating the world, reality, and my experience of Steemit that I truly want. When I think about this platform, I see it as an amazing way to organically reach a new audience, as well as to connect with other artists, musicians, and creatives.
Using a voting bot to get my post seen, is the exact opposite of organic. Sure, not all of my posts break $1.00, but at least I have actual feedback and realistic data to learn from. Maybe my content was whack, maybe I posted at the wrong time of day, etc etc...but if I use a vote bot to get my post out there, I'm really just artificially inflating its value.
Maybe it's because I don't like to compete, and like to just create my own lane and do my own thing. I've always seen Steemit as a tremendous opportunity, not a competition between other users. I believe we all have an opportunity to express ourselves here, and I simply want to express myself and let the chips fall where they may. Paying for voting bots seems like I'm forcing it.
That's another reason why I rarely upvote myself. If I do, it's because it's a collaborative post, such as the Steemit Cypher Sunday challenge I run, as this supports others as well. I believe our SP is best used to upvote others and to help curate awesome content.
I also believe that this comes down to an abundance vs. scarcity mindset. When you NEED money, you don't get it. But when you don't need it, it comes from everywhere. So as I embrace more and more abundance in my life, I've found that I have less desire to "force" my content out there, and more desire to create because I love creating, and just trusting in the process and flow of life.
I hope to see votebots eventually be a thing of the past. Even the name "bot" sounds sketchy doesn't it?
