I spent so much time debating bid bots that it's draining to even consider this question again. Basically for all the reasons I don't like them and think they support horrible content and bullshit to stay on the platform more or less gambling, they are here unless rewards change. I started using some about a week ago to see if Aggroed was right about it basically being paid promotion without burning your steem. I'll say "meh" on that front. Yes it's paid promotion, but considering it's mostly to people giving you spam comments and not even voting... what's the point? My main train of thought now is basically they are a known amount of the reward pool going out every day and I consider it almost like keeping steem powered up to promote a post and maintain growth. Even taking bid bots out of the equation we're now competing with $100 memes for fucks sake.
