I should also mention when I first joined Steem the concept of a bid bot seemed odd to me as it seemed like it was like cheating. If Steemit could just ban the bots totally I think it would be a better system. There are so many great post out there that have many upvotes but very low rewards. Why am I using the bots you may ask then? Well I wanted to try them out so see what they were all about in addition there are so many posts on Steemit that I feel to give your post some recognition (ie trending) you have to have votes. So in a way I look at the buying upvotes as a form of paid "advertising" for your posts.
