It will correct itself when they run out of folks easily parted from their money paying for overbid rounds and losing money.
The trick is to always use "bots less used", which usually have no cap on ROI to keep rolling. Nothing beats sending out 0.1 Steem and get 100% vote from the bots. Many of them are not on Steem Bot Tracker.
It's a good thing you don't check Trending. It's usually just one person and their other accounts at the top if nobody else is bidding.
Interesting to know. Most people seem unaware of this, as I was and are pissed when they get back less than they paid.
Yeah, trending sucks. It made me think I was going to be rich when I first joined. I didn't know about the bots yet and thought this was an easy crowd to please.
