Minnowbooster and upvote bots are broken...too much demand!

Holy crap! This is "flushtrating". The upvote bot service is the place to be these days. So much demand and so little upvote capacity to go around.

Here's a recent article from Minnowbooster basically begging for people to sell their upvotes to the service:

I do sell my upvote to minnowbooster by the way and get SBD in return.

Minnowbooster, my preferred upvote bot, has a 40 SBD daily use limit. This basically means you can buy up to 40 SBD worth of upvotes per day, no more. It's a laughable amount though, because there just aren't enough upvotes to go around. Lately, I can't get more than 1 to 2 SBD through the service per day. And it takes me hours to get that much through. More recently, I can't get any amount. See below.

Notice my sends of .03, .05, even .01 SBD getting rejected by the service. This basically means everyone who has sold their votes to the service are depleted to the point of no more upvotes going through...even to the 0.01 SBD (the minimum amount)! My only recourse is to wait and try again and again. It's like death by 1000 cuts. 80 - 90% of my attempts do not go through. Trying to get any amount through the service these days is an exercise in futility.

You get to the point where you say "F-it" and go and try to use one of those upvote bid bots...like Hive account@smartsteem or Hive account@jerrybanfield only to see your SBD slow fade to oblivion.

This is what happened to me. I got so desperate for an upvote on one my recent posts: https://steemit.com/steemit/@weirdgoose/if-you-just-signed-up-to-steemit-read-this-first
that I paid 10 SBD for a $17.97 value upvote from Hive account@smartsteem, which is way less than what minnowbooster would have paid out and will actually mean I lose value/$ on the bid. I will get only about 6.74 SBD and 1.96 SP on that upvote in return. Remember, I paid 10 SBD for it. I could have converted that 10 SBD to Steem on the open market and got about 10.5 Steem for it...today. All in all I paid $37.34 for an upvote and got $32 back in return at today's prices. That's -14%. Remember when I said in my last post to avoid bid based upvote bots...this is why.

Does anyone out there know of any other upvote bots like minnowbooster that will return 2.5x or better? I gotta try something better.

Thanks for any advice you all have!

With Love,
Chris
