Would you use a bid-bot that starts flagging people for revenge? I wouldn't.
If it would make you more money that you couldn't make elsewhere you would.. or other people would #SelfInterest
Bid-bots downvoting? No. Most of the Steempower is delegated and downvotes are a net-minus, meaning if they'd downvote, they would have to pay delegators out of their own pocket. With "25% free-downvotes" however, the risk is of course there. But again, who would keep their delegation on a bid-bot or even use it, that is downvoting out of revenge.
It could also be mitigated later by making a SP threshold for downvotes.
Example:
You might want to think of things like this to prevent flag wars. It has happened and can in the future... Especially if someone like Facebook buys a huge stake in Steem while prices are low to censor.
Wait... I actually see the wisdom in it now @therealwolf.
@steemitblog is putting their faith in people deciding which content gets seen as opposed to letting AI dictate.
So this is part of their efforts to make information and the spread of information decentralized.
By the People and for the People.
There might be bumps along the road but I am starting to think that EIP is going in the right direction (even if it isn't perfect).
