This Monday @jnmarteau came to the Hug Inn Vienna to host a @globalschool session with his five students who are specialized in #photography. Stay tuned for their updates! 🙋

During the day I tried with his help the first time the steembot tracker:

https://steembottracker.com/

And bid to the following bots:

@smartsteem, @upmewhale, @postpromoter and @sneaky-ninja.

I spend 32 STD and earned votes in the value of ca. 66 (before curation / 50% in steempower).

One of the two promoted posts is now on the top of the #Airbnb category. It is getting more visibility and the news are received by a larger audience. I guess the steembot tracker bidding/ voting system is a way to invest in #steempower and #promotion. It would be nice if this mechanism will be more accessible for relevant newbies and other steemians with rich content. But if the powerful whales are just bidding themselves and vote only their own content it is not a way to promote the growth or the success of the platform. Then it is not really usable for the larger #community and its future members.

So what are your experiences with voting bots?
