It's not an attack, I have nothing against you at all so don't think that.

If you pay for advertising something do you get more back than you pay for the ad in these other places? That's whats been expected on Steemit and it needs to stop.

You are still on Trending despite all these 'attacks' so your content is still being seen, or you have that perception. Before HF21 nobody looked on Trending as it was full of paid posts that few cared about.

What are you trying to achieve with buying votes? Bid-bots will no longer give you a return, so if that's the reason, then don't.

I see you have lots of followers and posts so you know how hard it is to gain traction.

I do, and it's all real with no bots. It took a long time and a lot of perseverance. Nothing in life comes easy.
