You take away trending spots from organically voted content and you perpetuate the idea that its benefitial and better to delegate to bots so any kind of shit content can benefit from it.
@lordbutterfly I will begin by stating that your argument above suffers from a fallacy of overgeneralization. While I agree with you that some shit posters force themselves into the trending pages using bots, I disagree that all the authors who use bots, as you clearly insinuate, post shits. @majes.tytyty is one of such exceptions. And of course, there are a few other authors who pen quality posts and only use the bots to gain more attention.
Also, do you know that the bid bot industry on Steem is a multi-million dollar industry with millions of Steem invested in SP? Have you considered the economic implications on Steem should the whole SP powering the bid bots leave the platform?
The answers to the above questions should tell you that bid bots are not entirely bad for the progress of Steem. Most people like you, I fear, are just peddlers of a single story, the story that bid bots are completely evil.
Here in fact is a screenshot from your post that has a vote from @tipu, a bid bot. 
Of course, my findings reveals that it was a friend of yours who paid for the service. Does his payment make your own post a shit post? Methinks otherwise. He did that to give your post a boost.
And permit me to remind you that this platform is a free and democratic community. Therefore, no user has a right to dictate to others how they should interact with Steem as long as such interaction is endorsed by the Steem top hierarchies.
I trust that this meets you well. Cheers!e
@gandhibaba ... Thanks for your well-researched and well-reasoned reply. You pointed out certain facts that I did not know and would never have discovered.
I'm pleased that an experienced and esteemed writer / Steemian such as you has come to my "defence" here.
To paraphrase the original comment, I guess this has come to the point where we can now "stop this BS." ☺
Cheers, and thanks again
p.s. I sent the "upvote" to your wallet.
I'm glad that you found my little input worthwhile. I will always defend what is right and just and reasonable. I was expecting @lordbutterfly to put a defence to our positions but he simply wrote and fled:
Well, I hope that he comes back.
Ps: Thanks for the little piece of cake. Cheers!
Haha. I did answer you.
You made a comment about someone tipping me with 0.5$ in a discussion about a guy voting his posts to top of the trending page every day...
I just find that laughable and not worth a more expansive response. Lol
