As a veteran minnow who produces reasonably good content but still lack the exposure I turned to the voting bots to increase visibility of my posts. I worked very hard and have been coming out with a good article daily. I also looked at it as a way of rewarding those who voted for me, as 25% of the extra earnings which I paid for will be distributed to the curators. If there are better ways of giving more exposure to my posts, I will like to try them as well.
