I agree. This change is terrible for human beings, but does little for bots, since they can be programmed to vote at exactly the desired time. I had this concern since HF20 was announced, but sadly there is really nothing the vast majority of us can do to prevent such changes. Unless you have the majority of the SP you really don't have much of a say on the Steem blockchain. So what we have now is a clear signal that bots are more important than humans on Steem. Not a good move for a social network.
