Just like any club, there are benefits and drawbacks of the Steem Bounty Vote Club If you don't know what @steem-bounty is you should definitely take a look, it's where you can reward commenters with a little more than a typical upvote. Sometimes you wish to conserve voting power, other times your vote may not be much of an incentive-putting a lucrative bounty on your post will definitely help attract some attention.
The vote exchange club is self-explanatory, you exchange votes with other members automatically. You can choose at what level to set the exchange at i.e. exchange votes when your voting power is greater than x, I have it set at 94%. @knircky is the creator of vote club, these are his words:
The vote club lets members upvote each other and thus get income from your SteemPower without needing to delegate it. You can find out more and also signup here: https://steem-bounty.com/services/vote-club
It's a great way to increase your reputation and get some valuable upvotes. Of course, it's related to your strength and relatively fair, it takes into consideration your SP when exchanging votes and doesn't necessarily exchange a 100% vote. There are two drawbacks: 1. Every 10 votes, they take one for Steembounty so it isn't free. 2. There isn't much of a blacklist or whitelist so you could support some blogger who isn't very good or downright offensive.
Vote exchange is another option for those who like to automate their account. You can sell your votes and purchase upvotes, or you can exchange them with vote club. @knircky is a great Steemian and a solid developer. I look forward to watching this progress and I hope the plan is to make a blacklist and whitelist soon.
