I'm just a regular guy, who doesn't have insane resources (like yourself) and Im using all available (and very limited) tools that are being provided to build some exposure.
Since I'm not whale - the only way of pushing my post to trending page is by paying for it (bid bots). Unfortunatelly I do not have luxury of upvoting my own post (neither I've friends who could really help) to ensure that it will end up in trending page.
At the same time I'm spending my own resources (which are quite limited) to promote content of those who I consider valuable.
If it does upset you that I've send you memo, then please accept my appology. I will make sure not to bother you again.
No whales are able to push a post to trending with their own vp, no whales or other users spam other users memo with mentions about their posts, most that do it get ignored. If you want to promote your post then promote it with just bid bots like everyone else does, if you don't get any traction then maybe your post sucks and no one gives a shit about what you have to say. Don't try and get traction on your post by spamming every active users memo like junkmail from 1990 which seems to be the era your formulate your responses as well.
I agree he shouldn’t spam but bidbots are fucking stupid and part of the reason many people will spam. They think spamming is a more economical way to get the attention. Bidbots are whack and need to go.
Thank you @acidyo for taking the time to share your view on that subject.
I obviously am fully aware that some people are okey to receive memos and are using it as a way of sending notifications to others.
At the same time I know that this method does upset others.
if you don't get any traction then maybe your post sucks
Perhaps my content sucks.
However, similar problem seem to have most content creators who have very little SP. On daily basis I see many great authors who have no visibility. Without having funds to upvote their content to trending page and without sending memos to those who know them ... they end up simply being "invisible".
I obviously appreciate your effort to reply to my comment. And I will surely not bother you with my unwanted memos in the future.

What does this have anything to do with anything? At least those users don't become spammers but try to gain a genuine following like many of us have done throughout the years without spamming the living shit out of people with bots.
You realize I try and help out those users you mention daily through the efforts of OCD, right? Hey maybe if you were active in the community instead of just replying to people in your own posts and stumbling into random posts now and then that you write about and use as a decoy in memos to promote your own posts with you'd know what else is going on on the platform and wouldn't try and keep sidetracking the problem we had in the first place here.
If you want to promote your posts that's fine, don't pretend that you have to spam people's wallets to get some interaction to justify it. If that were the case then you sure are making it even harder for those users since if everyone started spamming wallets it would become an even bigger problem. We have follows and feeds for a reason.
Also good job on unfollowing the user above me cause she asked you not to spam her wallet, classy use of the follow function, I'll expect an unfollow as well now thank you byeee.
I understand where you're coming from, but really, one of the hottest new things in crypto is paying people to listen to you, and that's effectively what he is doing. I think earn.com was doing that before Coinbase bought them up. Look, after all the wordpress sites online get wise and integrate steempress and one STEEM is $1,000 you are going to look back and realize the guy was dropping $1-$3 in your lap for a half-second glance.
Here's my point, he is paying for a glance of your eyeballs, and that is how the internet works. Often I find the people that hate adverting the most are the very same people that benefit from it the most: programmers. The whole "build it and they will come" would be impossible if it wasn't for pay-per-click. In fact, the whole world owes advertisers a debt of gratitude for bringing the world free content. Content never comes free, there always must be a form of compensation.
Without advertising the wicked cool internet we know and love would not exist. No Joe Rogan podcast, no funny photo-bombs on Instagram, no Youtube channels of beautiful women doing weird videos called "whispers" where they eat next to a speaker (okay, bad example), and without hilarious commercials women might never have watched a Football game.
The problem is not his method, neither are bots the problem for why Steem is not performing well, they only increase demand for STEEM (I can explain that if you cared to hear it). A simple feature that should be implemented and has been discussed is being able to choose your own minimum amount of STEEM/SBD that can be sent to you.
Another issue with your point is that we have a tyranical group called Steemcleaners that seem to have got their way into a space that was meant to be a haven from domineering authoritarians. These guys go after anyone promoting their brand or what have you, and they even say you could just use the transaction history for that. At least, that is what I was told it could be used for in their discord chat.
Look at Steemit, they have to go with an advertisement model to make any money. The world we live in runs on advertising and I'd love for us to grow past that, but until the world is ready for such a huge change we all need to be a little more tolerant of people doing what they need to do for their businesses.

We clearly disagree but I still would like to thank you for sharing your own view with me.

At least, that's my $0.02. Thanks for reading.
