Bid bots suck.. SteemIt is intended to curate good material but now you can place ads on the hot / trending and remove all of the used SBD / STEEM from the reward pool. This is the worst thing that can happen, minnows will have a much harder time to get to trending with good material if they cant afford 500 USD of steem to promote their material.
Steemit is now nothing but a payed ad space thanks to the bots.. We got the lowest possible user retention stats, around 5%, thanks to the bots and the shit material on trending / hot...All ads or self votes, repulsive..
To bad we have to take part of this sad transformation, there are cheaper ways to make commercial so this might kill steemit?
We can at least use those who is good for something, @treeplanter plants trees and @Minnowbooster / MSP helps minnows but the rest of the bots just .... Takes the reward pool for them selves..
