SteemBasicIncome Is Not As Useful As You Think

So folks I know some of you may have heard of or even are using Steem basic income's upvote service to help with your accounts. This program is a social experiment run by @steembasicincome and its administrators; it seeks to Provide all steemians with basic income from posting. In order to become a member of this experiment you have to pay @steembasicincome 1steem and give the name of another user to be sponsored in with you. its a pretty straightforward program where when you and a friend are sponsored in you will gain the upvote of one of the @steembasicincome bots. now once you are a member you recieve lifetime upvotes from the seem basic income profiles.

All of that is awesome until you realize you just paid 1 steem for a 0.02 upvote (on posts no comments) that could possibly decrease for various reasons. From my experience with @steembasicincome I can say that it is NOT WORTH IT to pay for a service like this when there are folks like @neoxian who wull delegate you 115 steem for 7 days per 1 steem. this delegation can be used to increase the upvote amounts on posts AND comments which means it actually has the potential to be profitable and helpful. @steembasicincome however is dependent on how many times you post and every post recieves a lower vote than the previous vote if they fall on the same 24 hr cycle. They do a great job at marketing but if you look at steemblock explorer the you will see that the users with a few shares are only recieving maybe 0.05 value upvotes or less.

The @steembasicincome program has become very popular with up to six profiles upvoting thousands of users. Many of thee users have no idea it will take them over 50 posts to get a return on their investment. Making such a bad investment will end up hurting you and only helps the creators of @steembasicincome. I mean lets face it why spend 1 steem on something that has no real value.

my verdict is that @steembasicincome is a failed experiment that is only still running because it is profitable for its creators. Plese show me how this program is useful for steemit users when it literally only offers you a trickle of pennies in exchange for your STEEM. I reccomment checking out some of the real basic income programs such as mannabase which shows real promise as a cryptocurrency based basic income that asks for NOTHING from you. If you are an @steembasicincome user or representative id like to hear your opinions on your long ROI. I ask this because you cost the user money that takes a long time to recover which is not a part of basic income philosophy it actually makes you all seem pretty scammy.

I personally won't be wasting STEEM on @steembasicincome shares and I hope you choose not to either. This program is far from useful and has many steemians fooled
