To people who don't know my blog and who might learn something from discovering and reading it. Irrespective of rewards and bid bots, I want my work to be read as widely as possible. And I know no other way to draw attention to my posts. No, wait, I could "bait" people in other ways, like the "clickbait" ads you see nowadays even on the websites of reputable journals. How do you propose someone to draw attention to his posts ? There are many ways to look at it. I've explored this in an older post: [How I learned to stop worrying and love the Bid Bots](https://steempeak.com/steem/@sorin.cristescu/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-bid-bots)

> In short, bid bots and vote-selling markets are another reason for people outside the platform to invest, buy steem with fiat because they offer an opportunity for passive income in exchange for "currency risk". So in short, the primary argument FOR is that they generate passive income for some purported bid bot 'investor'? How exactly is that supposed to scale? > No, wait, I could "bait" people in other ways... You'd prefer to 'bait' people using artificially distorted rewards rather than a catchy title, and that occasionally mentioning it down in the comments, somehow that absolves you of creating the fiction to the casual observer, that you somehow earned the $200?

>So in short, the primary argument FOR is that they generate passive income for some purported bid bot 'investor'? How exactly is that supposed to scale? Just like capitalism. You know, the real world. Someone offers "work" (or "labor") - this is the content creator. Someone else offers "capital" - this is the passive investor. Labor + capital = prosperity Except that the steem economy needs diversification. Just "content and attention" (the "blogging business") is not enough. We now have games too (Steem Monsters - @steemmonsters, Drug Wars @drugwars, Next Colony @nextcolony, etc), but more diversification is needed. We used to have "open source software" with Utopian but alas, that business folded. We have Fundition @fundtion for charity management but I'm not sure it's thriving. I talked for instance about a marketplace for selling art here: [Revisiting Steemland: a fairer and more transparent art market as a new "export"](https://steempeak.com/blockchain/@sorin.cristescu/revisiting-steemland-a-fairer-and-more-transparent-art-market-as-a-new-export). Another idea is a marketplace for selling unused storage space. A bit like filecoin / storj / sia / bittorrent but with the power of the best cryptoeconomic system, that of steem: [Steembit: a decentralized storage marketplace for Steemland](https://steempeak.com/steem/@sorin.cristescu/steembit-a-decentralized-storage-marketplace-for-steemland) There are a bunch of other ideas for diversification, like @oracle-d for instance. The more diverse the types of work one can source from Steemland (supposedly better quality or cheaper price than elsewhere), the more attractive the ecosystem is for investors.
