I agree that bidbots are much better than the uberwhale/uberminnow system that Steemit started out with.
We still have a long way to go before Steemit comes into its own, however. I find it amusing that almost every post on the trending page is still about Steemit itself. The day will come when we branch out out a social media platform, but for now...
Well, for now there is influence to be built. The price of Steem is still (relatively) cheap, and it's still possible to build a brand here before the company "goes public", as it were.
I'm looking forward to where we go from here.
i highly doubt that will come anytime soon as were still a huge work in progresss
