Due to formatting restrictions, only a few columns can be displayed.

*Note: Due to the complexity of certain promotional tools and their associated refunding mechanisms, some smaller refunds may be duplicated or missed.*

### What is this report?
#

Many authors choose to promote their posts via Bid-Bots. In return for direct payment, the bots will upvote your article. This service is fully "legal" on Steemit and used by minnows and whales alike.

**There are many reasons why an author may want to purchase votes.**

* Give the impression that the article is of substantial value and perhaps you should think so too.
* Cause the article to make it to the "Hot" or "Trending" category where it gets more exposure and more votes.
* Cause the payout to increase so that anyone that votes on the post will share in a higher curation pool.
* Attempt to make a direct profit on the vote by receiving a vote that nets more than the cost of the bid.
* Increase the authors reputation by receiving large SP votes.  High SP votes move the reputation quickly.
* Support another author or entity indirectly through a Bid-bot.

<hr>

**The list is sorted with the highest NET amounts paid to the Bid-bots on top in descending order.**

* From = The user who sent the payment to the bot.
* Gross Bids (SBD) = The total of all bids sent to the bots in SBD or Steem for this single post.
* After Refunds (SBD) = The net total of all bids sent less refunds received back in SBD or Steem for this single post.
* Article Payout = The total STU (SBD/SP) payout value of for the **entire article** (not just from bots). This is the total paid to the author and curators.  (This is the $ value which shows on the bottom of every post.)
* Link is the direct link to the article that has been promoted via the bid bot.
