Hey mate, great question. And one worth asking. For me, I will use my SP any way that I see fit. I earned it so I have every right to waste it or make best use of it as I see fit.
I actually stopped by your article for another reason though. I see that you're using voting bots and resteem services.
Whether or not you agree with voting bots isn't the question however resteem services are quite simply a waste of money. Resteem services rely on people to follow the resteem bot account, and most active Steemit users aren't going to follow one of these accounts. In addition to this, most followers of resteem services are bots themselves so won't be upvoting your content.
In short, save your SBD for something more worthwhile. Resteem services won't gain you anything. And you definitely won't make that 1 SBD back from @a-a-a or gain any real followers for that matter. This post was resteemed to 75,000 followers and you got 10 upvotes? There's your evidence right there.
Thanks for your feedback @mazzle and for the advice I will definitely take that into consideration. I like to try out different things to see what works and see what does not. If all those followers are his bots I wonder how he was able to create so many of them. Probably another bot right? : -)
A side note: it does not appear to have been resteemed
as of yet. I guess I shall wait and see what the results are.
I can already predict what the results will be.
There are lots of ways to create new accounts. And he'll have either gained these followers through following many, many other accounts or through bot creation.
The whole "follow for follow" approach on Steemit is a complete waste of time and energy. Those that follow people via these practices are not known for upvoting content, creating accounts of value, being valuable followers (as in ones who engage with your posts), or accounts that stay active for very long.
Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with you. Keep creating good content!
Thanks allot for the information. I really do
appreciate the dialogue, advice and insight!
I did follow-4-follow early on as well, and I
too came to the same conclusion as yourself.
No problem at all.
