"How do you figure that we are increasing bid bot owners profit when we have bid bot abuse as a category???"
you are not flagging bid-bot owners , you are flagging bid-bot users . so what happens is this :
user sends bid to bid-bot ($$$)-> gets upvote -> you come in and take that upvote away/send steem back to reward pool -> that increases that bid-bot vote value . Now the same bid-bot can earn even more . If you don't understand what I am talking about I suggest you take a better look at how steem rewards pool works or just talk to @themarkymark , he is an expert on this matter
@justineh also knows thing or two about whole thing

You are 100% right but the scale is so far off. I could flag $100 off a user and I'd likely make less than $0.01 in increased voting power. Yet I spent $100 worth of voting power to flag.
But I understand you will never comprehend this and continue to talk nonsense.
Ignorance is bliss
One thing I love about you smidge, no matter how many times you are proven wrong, you always come back with the same argument. Truly intelligence was not wasted on you.
The proof is all over the blockchain. You can see despite all the flags that happen daily t he voting power of my account, my bots, and anyone hardly fluctuate.
There are so many people pulling from the reward pool and so much Steem Power the change to any one person is insignificant.
Even in your scenario (which is stupid by the way) if one entity owned 50% of the steem power and they flagged someone for $100 they would at best get 50% back. Self voting would be way more profitable. But the one entity that owns 50% doesn’t upvote so it is a moot point as it doesn’t benefit them at all.
Well that is in fact scale duh.
No one controls anywhere near that but Steemit Inc and it is non-voting.
@justineh maybe could drop an /s next time. They don't seem to keen on picking up sarcasm.

“they” i hope you are not talking about me? Who is they? you refer to? I am me, that is all!
Smidge thought Justine was being serious in their context. I'm pointing out the comment was riddled with sarcasm.

drop an apostrophe s, what does that mean??? escape s for what?
It's internet slang if you will for when one is being sarcastic.
For instance, say I tell a bad joke at your expense hypothetically speaking.
You could retort:
Oh, you're so funny. You should be a comedian. /s
That would tell me you are being sarcastic and then I would spared from the mistake of quitting my day job to do stand up because I thought you were being literal.
I'm astute enough to perceive sarcasm generally when I see it but I suppose I could make an error as well.
Nobody is perfect.
Thanks I already used it thrice tionight! Like this yeah?
Oh Wow thanks, I learn something new every day! I had no idea, hadn't seen that one before! I'll add it to my repertoire right away:
