I know you do, but the maths now is different from when you started, I know fulltimegeek hates them also, and both of you for the right reasons, but and a big but, for most newbies now, it is the fastest and easiest way to get to 500sp in 6 - 8 months, yes months, not days not weeks months.

I agree, until you get the slider its fair game.
I dont know how long it would take without the bots but at 3usd per steem it could take a long time.
It could take a year or more for most people, maybe even two,bidbot returns = the slightly lower return in sbd is offset with the gain in extra sp, so for new people to get the slider they are probably vital not just vanity.
Yeah, there just aint enough whales to go around.
My growth rate has slowed to near nothing, but ive been spreading it out, too.
37 whales is it not? that is not a lot to go around 27,000 active accounts daily.
Well, if they each made one percent votes they could each touch 1000 accounts, but that isnt likely.
Many of them like the idea of remaking the world in their own image and will only vote those willing to suck up.
This has been the problem all along.
The golden boys think their whale support makes them special.
When in reality they are just perpetuating more of the same.
The rich, and those that the rich favor, get richer while the rest of us get the hind tit.
Its why i keep harping for a vote cap that negates the whales advantage in the math.
If your vote was 5x what it is now, you would spread the wealth even farther, eh?
Most others would, too.
Well this is the thing, read my last post from 1 min ago, re bidbots, and let me explain a little more, the returns off the bot give me the sp I miss from going to the market, but it allows me to support pennsif with his dollar a day charity, tom duggan in syria with $140 a week and now I support familyprotection with sbd, so what I do not buy on the market, the bidbot gives me in sp, and I get to support 1 person in Syria and 2 charities on here, so yes, with a 5x vote I would support more, and maybe grow a little faster also.
So, the bots are pàying you worthwhile returns?
