Steemmonsters are not a better alternative to any other bid bot
They're all very harmful to the ecosystem and they all know better. Please refrain from purchasing votes as it undermines a fair playing field for all the other content creators.

Hey @trafalgar! You seem like a really "warm" person. Thanks for the feedback. I will be collecting some more feedback from various sources, and then make a properly informed decision on how to proceed. In the end, a little downvote is not the end of the world. I mean, it could be worse. Like, we could be in #HongKong, right? This "bid-bot" stuff is PEANUTS in the grand scheme of things. Just keep on being you...
If you do not buy votes or engage in other abusive activities, you're unlikely to receive further downvotes from me in the near future.
Downvote as you please... I got the power of the UNIVERSE on my side...
[UPDATE] I chatted with the top admin of @steemmonsters over the past 24 hours, and I believe - to your liking - they saw the logic in discontining the "upvote service", and have made the following post explaining this :

I offered some suggestions on alternatives, and it appears that the solution that they have come to is in lie with what I was thinking, in general.
My main reason for contacting you directly on this was NOT to have you reverse the downvote (which they have now compensated for), but instead see if there was a way that I could discuss the issue PRODUCTIVELY so as to then discuss some options with SM admin. The response on your end was (in my opinion) certainly lacking in that regard, but luckily SM admin was professional enough to solve the problem.
While I disagree that ALL "paid upvotes" are "bad", I can definitely see the logic in how MANY of them are counterproductive. So hopefully, your mission of LOBBYING the larger dApps to avoid "paid upvotes" has been considered a success in this case, but you may find that some more "strategic" communication may get you to your goal more efficiently, and with less "collateral damage". Just some advice from someone who has the universe on his side ... Good luck...
