I've been reading a lot on this topic from time to time. This is the first post on this topic that defends bidbots in a very logical way. Very detailed post indeed. I'm for sure going to use this post as a reference for similar posts and also, in posts that I write on this topic. It's good to implement structure when it comes to some organizational or state setup. However, when it comes to this world, something global like Steemit, people from across the world join it and participate as per their capabilities. Facebook could fall flat on the ground in its infancy if it had followed the strict criteria of not allowing everybody saying their hearts out at that platform. It did not do that and eventually, it succeeded to a limit where it had more users than one of the most populated countries in the world. Recently, we have been seeing every 5th post at Facebook as an ad. So, they don't care about quality but still are leading the social media game. Similarly, Steemit is still in its beta stage and it has achieved a lot. There is still a long way to go. Personally, I don't like to axe on my own feet by implementing the strict criteria aiming at quality content. Plagiarism is not acceptable. That being said, if it's original, for me, it's fine. Bidbots have become important part of the game. I don't see them going anywhere. There are always good and bad side of everything. This is also true for bidbots. People were misusing bidbots so an action was taken and a 5 days limit was set. This makes sense and I appreciate it. This is how we will keep seeing improvements in the system but it will take time. Let's not try to build Rome in one day. Good luck @fyrstikken.
Steem On!
