Yes this has been my experience also. I'm not sure how reliable long term it is. The investment of currency for marketing that can then be flagged for no reason makes me nervous really to invest large amounts this way. We had originally planned to structure our voting bots to support community members and allow for basically staking a vote amount when buying our currency Stish. We scrapped these plans 100% due to flagging abuses and no corrective measures. So essentially we had planned to raise 3.5 Million and invest most of that into Steem but it is too risky for most investors.
