Hello @lookplz,

we appreciate your feedback.

The changes in the minimum promotion amount was actually to protect users like you, who normally would buy small quantities. The vote value is not linear anymore, which means it's lower if the total post value is below 20 STEEM payout.

If you're buying votes for 1 STEEM and you're expecting 0.2 STU as a reward, you might just get 0.15 STU due to the non-linear rewards curve. That way we can't promise the ROI, because we can't just increase the ROI for small promotion buyers.

However, with this in mind, we've changed the minimum promotion amount to:

Vote-Bidding: 1 SBD / 5 STEEM
Vote-Buying: 0.5 SBD / 2 STEEM

That way, you're able to buy many more votes from smaller voters, as you're able to send a lower amount. We can't promise this of course, due to the current market conditions, but we'll do our best.
