I noticed your post went over $2 on the 15th minute of its release, congratulations! Since hf20 rolled out, I wait until that 15 minute mark strikes before I Upvote new posts. When I Upvoted yours yesterday, your value raised two dollars with just two votes — congrats! Lucky you, my vote’s only worth $.05 so you must’ve got hit by someone with a lot more SP than me. We all love the transparency options our world is evolving toward so I decided to take a look at who your biggest contributor is.
It’s you! It seems as though you believe it’s necessary to pay for seats to your own concert, I’m still trying to make sense of that. 🤔 How can you perform on stage and watch from the audience at the same time? The whale who paid you that $2 is so big with a combined SP of over 500k I dare not mention their name. I know how I can get them to pay me $2, though, just do the same thing you did and transfer $2.20 to them. You threw away .20 cents that could’ve gone anywhere else on this platform and I don’t understand why. So your post shows a $2.00 value at that 15 minute mark?
I guess what I’m trying to say is:
Can someone help me understand the purpose of paying for a bid? If I give a bidbot $2.20 and my immediate return (ROI) is $2.00, didn’t I just lose .20 cents? And if my votes are worth a nickel, didn’t I just throw away the equivalent of four 100% Upvotes that could have gone anywhere else? Hold please, I’m going to grab a calculator. 🔢
Bidbot fee = $2.20.
Bidbot return = $2.00.
Author portfolio summary = -.20 cents.
Bidbot portfolio summary = +.20 cents.
Did I do that right?
The figures aren’t adding up. So what’s the point of paying a bidbot? Are the people who actually paid for a seat to your concert not cool enough? That can’t be it, I know you appreciate your followers. Is the bidbot you paid going to include your concert in their portfolio and over time you’ll get your .20 cents back? The reason I ask is because I don’t know. Is it a visual thing? Once your post hits 15 minutes, you need to be visually stimulated with a dollar amount so you pay a robot to increase its value? If that’s all it is, then wouldn’t it make more sense to pay your friend $2.20 who could then pay it right back to you and you don’t lose .20 cents? Am I misunderstanding the function of a bid bot?
