We all know it is hard enough to earn rewards on your posts so why would you waste the money required to get it to trending.</p>\n<p>If we look at the trending posts they are between $350 and $500. If we calculate what is paid for by the author and what is paid for by followers it doesn't make sense. Of the $500 on a post you will quite often see $480 has been spent by vote bots and the author has actually lost money.</p>\n<p>I know that if you use smart steem and pay for votes you get $11.2 per $10 spent. If you take curation into account which is 25% of the total then for every $10 you spend you are losing $1.60 as 75% of $11.2 is $8.40.</p>\n<p>Therefore on a $500 post an author could be losing as much as $80 per post. If someone offered me $80 I would much rather power up and gain followers organically than going into trending.</p>\n<p>There is always a risk of receiving flags for promoting a post that doesn't seem good enough. It happens regularly that a post will be flagged for abusing the system. This is good as only quality pieces should be in trending and this is hardly the case today.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f38frad8x","appParentAuthor":"koshilo","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
