Twas a cool little exhibition judging by the images. Nice initiative. Making Steem interesting for artitst have always been one of the obvious possibilities and I have begun telling people about it again. Artists like to compete - they do it involuntarily - so as long as people used bitbots I wouldn't recommend it . I know that I feel it is cheating and so would my colleagues.
Now we need to turn the boat around.
Without bid bots it's now a fair game for everyone and talent will speak for itself, now its the time to bring these amazing artists to the platform!
Indeed.
