No more comments!
The team behind @smartsteem and @smartmarket has decided to abandon the commenting of upvotes since we believe that there are better alternatives to confirm an upvote.
No more comments
Until today - under every bought upvote through @smartmarket or after bids from @smartsteem - @smartsteem commented to let the user know that the post had been upvoted and especially for how much.
This however, had the disadvantage that it was obvious that a vote had been bought due to the comment. And this is especially a problem when multiple bid and vote-bots have been used and the only comments are then from bots.
Our alternative
That's why we decided to confirm upvotes via a short transfer-message and inform about the upvote-% and the voter.
This way - users can confirm the upvote via a quick look on the votes with the Steemit More Info Chrome Extension.
Additionally, users can check their received and sold votes through a look on their smartsteem profile.
We also believe that this change will make it easier for you - the user - to be willing to sell your vote through @smartmarket and while earning up to 98% profit.

good move @therealwolf! Love what you're building and it feels great to be a lil part of it! :)
There is good and bad side of not commenting upvotes. Good side is...you are not spammed of using bot services. And bad side is, you don't get up on a tags ladder, when you got a bot comment.
extraordinary Each time improving and I like changes to improvement
sent you 1 SBD to upvote this link https://steemit.com/photography/@madhupkd/photography, 2 hours back. No upvote yet. Please refund the amount.
I really like this way of confirming it feels so much less like the bot using the comment area to advertise itself like the classic way of posting to confirm which starts to look spammy.
smartsteem is awesome ^_^
