RE: Has your usage of voting bots been changed after HF21?

in #dpoll5 years ago

Voted for

  • I've reduced the usage/frequency

I am using voting bots, but not bidbots.
I used bidbots a few times in the past, but I am not using them anymore.
But this is not what I reduced after the HF21. I reduced the usage of bidbots long time ago.
I bought upvotes on MinnowBooster and on Smartsteem.
Not too often, but sometimes.
Sometimes I have to buy upvotes, because sometimes the pending payout on my blog posts is not even reach the payout threshold ($0.02).
I mostly bought upvotes on Smartsteem, but I will probably not buy more upvotes on Smartsteem after the HF21.
Before the HF21 Smartsteem had a fixed ROI (Return On Investment) of 10%, and a minimum investment of 0.10 SBD/Steem.
Now they have a fixed ROI (Return On Investment) of 20%, and a minimum investment of 10 SBD/Steem.
This is not favorable for redfish/plankton and for minnow users.
I have not bought any upvotes since the start of the HF21, but I will probably continue to buy upvotes on MinnowBooster.
