Before you get all "it's their stake they can disagree on rewards like everyone else does", well, if that was the case that would be alright with us.
Theres nothing to be alright here about. Its obvious, slimy retaliation.
it's getting pretty ridiculous when bid bots are selling their votes through other bid bots cause that's how desperate they are to earn more rewards than everyone else and undermine the EIP and proof of brain.
Haha. Wolfie is a sneaky puppy. I mean, all this is expected. They need to maintain their ROI or they lose the delegators and investors. When that happens they lose their influence on the platform.
Without Smartsteem Wolfie is just a Orca with dev skills. In old Steem he was a powerhouse.
Do these bid bot owners think that they can intimidate us with these downvotes?
You just have to push through and yes, i think they should be downvoted far beyond the threshold of profitability. If you prick them a bit and the loss over what they would get from curation is lets say 10%, they can live with that and try to retaliate. They can sustain the retaliation longer. But if the loss is 70% then you cut their time in which they can do business by a much greater degree.
They are businesses after all, with responsibility to their investors, and they cant keep it up as long as OCD can.
Here, have a little upvote.
