When you choose to join Steemit it is a choice to make an investment into yourself and your skills. I have recently been hearing a lot of complaints about steemit not making room for the minnows and that bid bots are detrimental to steemit. I would like to argue otherwise; being successful on steemit is basically based on two things how big is your following and 2 how much are you willing to spend on growing that following? when it boils down to it these are the only 2 rules of Steemit, you will not have success without a following and Steem power. Most of the time whats in your wallet is a HUGE attraction for new and active followers.
Unless you are willing to spend years building up SP from scratch without any deposits then you will need to spend something to start gaining traction in the network. This is where bid bots come into play. most of the time when minnows create a post the earn less than $0.10 (I only get like $0.40) per post , but with a well timed 0.1 sbd they could end up with a return of .5 sbd and .5 steem power more or less. This use of bid-bots in a careful manner can help minnows grow not only their Steem power but their reputations in general. We have to stop blaming people who have the tools for success and are using them, its time to get serious about what you are doing here and make our own plans to achieve success in this system. Steemit is by far the easiest way one could go about increasing his cryptocurrency holdings: All you have to do is step back assess the ecosystem and do what humans do best ADAPT.
