You make it sound like using bots is greatly profitable but it's not.
Look at the bid bots listed here.
- @therising had a ROI of -56.39%
- @booster had -9.69%
- @appreciator had -10.61%
- and the list goes on.
These bots don't generate auto profit for anyone.
And also I don't see why using bots is abuse:
- anyone can use them
- it helps minnow getting started
- and if some people use it to vote on their spam posts so be it, if it gets too big it'll rain downvotes
And if you can use bots to make profits then that will draw more people to the platform.
