I agree with you completely. The whales dont seem to take much interest in the newer people. Not all whales mind you but most. Perhaps that is natural. One of the reasons why I would love to move up the chain is to be able to help the newer people. It would be great to lay $.50 or $.75 on a new person's post to help them out (or even better, do it for them two or three times a day). As you said, the system requires each to upvote their own posts so that the account can grow. Hopefully both of us can achieve Dolphin level soon enough.

Yes, I completely agree. Do you know about the booster-bots yet? I personally use @minnowbooster when I can, and I like @randowhale and @steemthat as well. Not only does they pay out more than they cost, it also moves your posts up in the lists because of votes. Without them, I'd be nowhere right now. Hate the fact I have to use them, though... it makes it pay-to-win. But atleast it's one way to compete at some level!

I havent used them at all.....I am really not familiar with them. So far, I just went the posting and following route....see where that gets me. Nothing wrong with using a bit of AI to assist where you can....it is technology....anything to help move the process forward.

Basically how it works is that you send X amount of SBD to a bot and add the link to your post in the memo, and in return that bot will use it's voting power to upvote your post. The bots I mentioned will upvote your post with more money than you sent it. For example, I think minnowbooster requires you to pay 0.5 SBD, but you can get an upvote worth between 1SBD and 2SBD. I have gotten 1.54SBD upvotes whilst I paid only 0.5SBD. It's tricky though because as an author you don't get 100% of the rewards, but generally I think you gt more than you pay for. Plus, the main objective for me, is to actually be _seen_. Some of my posts will only get 6 views... not even talking about votes. So my first priority is actually being seen.
