Open Letter to anyone spamming garbage posts to "make their ROI"

While I understand that some are frustrated at the curation curve or lack thereof, there are a lot of benefits to this one too. If some of you older Steemians may remember one of the biggest reasons to the change was due to minnows feeling completely powerless at the time, you needed a much higher total SP to see your vote reach $0.01. This change helped many see that yes, even though you could technically still earn SP by curating with low Steem Power, they could see the change their vote gave in real time, something which was not possible if posts were not already voted up past a certain threshold. This was an important change for smaller accounts.

Anyway without getting too much into the curation curve, here's an offer to anyone still attempting to maximize their investment while providing nothing of value to anyone or anything on our platform.

Invest it into a non-profit bid bot or distribution bot, of course I am a bit biased here to mention @ocdb, but why not. One of the main things curation is there for is stake distribution, one of our greatest strength as a DPOS blockchain is having a very distributed currency, the price is surely helping but at the same time it could just be a few whales buying up cheap Steem. With ocdb it is proven that stake is being distributed, to over 3k willing authors right now and constantly rising.

The reason I'm mentioning ocdb is due to it not taking any cut from delegators and 10% of the profits instead going to the authors that use it daily. So yes, you do lose about 10% than if you were self-voting daily on garbage posts but at the same time you're helping stake get distributed to deserving authors which should raise the value of your investment in the long term anyway, the 10% fee for that should be worth it to you if price goes up by more because of a healthy distribution which we clearly need.

I'm not the only one thinking that ocdb is doing a good job at it, there's close to 4.2 Million SP delegated to it and growing. The reason I'm pointing at ocdb is cause I created it with the goal to always be non-profit and give a good return to delegators, delegators who maybe were instead selling their stake to bid bots which let's be honest was not doing much good for the platform, mostly just for the owners of the bots.

Having said that, ocdb will obviously not always be one of the best at returning you a high ROI, the fact that it does so right now compared to other bots accounts such as @freedom delegate to is quite simple, greed. Bot owners take a huge cut. Buying votes/attention/marketing is supposed to cost the buyer thus always returning a bigger ROI to delegators compared to ocdb that guarantees a 10% profit for the buyers, the reason it's not returning a higher ROI than ocdb today is bot owners taking big cuts for themselves because it is so tiring and such a huge daily effort to run a bot, amirite?

With Steem growing in price in the near future and more and more users joining our platform wanting to advertise and boost their posts it means that the ROI for delegators delegating to bid bots should go higher, the demand will be much higher for bid bot votes. Instead of delegating to random/anonymous bid bots that have shown their greed over the year I am hoping delegators will instead delegate to fully non-profit bid bots and although they may not exist right now it's just a matter of time until someone with the knowledge and skill creates one just to give SP holders the biggest ROI any cryptocurrency out there can and it being completely without any middleman will be even more powerful in outsiders eyes as that's something that blockchain stands for.

So until that time, delegate to @ocdb, stop the childish shitposting, the vote-trading, etc. Get that passive 90% daily return instead while at the same time aiding distribution of our currency.

This post was motivated after reading @whatsup's latest post, feel free to discuss.

PS. If you are a curator who enjoys curating instead of higher passive returns by delegating, please ignore this message and continue being awesome.
