I still find it hilarious that people actually pay for votes and tell themselves that they're getting promotion out of it. Aside from the handful of people that bother reading anything here... who are they promoting to? It's most more cost effective and reaches a much wider to audience to just make the same post on Medium and Facebook market it for about $10 bucks. If promotion is what people were really looking for, they wouldn't be using bidbots, but it looks it's going to come to an end one way or another as the price of STEEM gets closer to zero. Time will tell.
