For those who don't know me on Steemit, there was a time where I tried to write funny stories. For different reasons, I found it difficult to continue with my blog, and little by little I stopped writing. Now, that I have more time, I decided to take up my writings and when I came back, I found this...

Far away were the times, where to get a vote you had to interact, create communities and pray, that a whale take pity on your situation. At that time, the vote of a whale was like an orgasm. I updated the blog every 15 seconds, imploring that click of someone with a lot of SP.

For those who don't know, by March of 2017, the Steem had a value of $0.23. Those that we published at that time, we were the real passionate of this platform, because we were in the worst moments of Steemit. Only a few benefited, and most of us published for pure pleasure. Although, there was always the illusion that a whale came across our post, and when that happened, it was night of celebrations...

For this and seeing the current moment in which we are, I felt with certain rights and decided not to fall into the influence of these bots to get votes. I had something to invent, to avoid having to pay and at the same time, to have visibility. Sure of my decision, I started a campaign to attract the votes of these bots, without having to pay anything.
The first bot that I wrote was to @appreciator:

My first attempt, it was not productive. As you can see, this was the result of my message...

With my illusion intact, I decided to continue with my plan. And I wrote to @postpromoter:

A total failure my second attempt, it seems that these bots are not looking for love and are only interested in money. The result was this...

They were not going to beat me, I was just starting and I had to insist to achieve my goal. I wrote to @upme:

It didn't work either, and little by little I was feeling defeated. I wasn't having the results I expected, but well...
I had my last attempt with @buildawhale:

As you can imagine, it didn't work. So, for the failure of my experiment, I have made a second decision: I'm not happy, with having in my post, only comments from my mother, such as:
Beautiful post, my dear son. I'm proud of you, you are the sun that floods my life...
Fuck it! I will pay for bots and thus claim the success and glory that I deserve. See you on the moon, guys!
