Sorry. I must not be communicating my point very well.
Let's see. I was just trying to say that if you're making a consistent profit where it doesn't go below a certain level, but might go up on a occasion, that might be worth it, depending on the size of the profit from using the bidbots. However, if over time, use of the bidbots caused a decrease in profits, that wouldn't be so great, nor would it be if your initial profit wasn't what you obtained with the first go. In other words, the first experience would not be indicative of any other successive experience.
And yes this was only if you continued your experiment. Wasn't at all trying to encourage (or discourage) the use of bidbots, or give advice on how to use them, because I don't know any of that.
And I agree, if someone is using the bidbots to get onto the trending page but isn't paying a bunch in SBD to get there, they might as well save their money, or hope people are going to the trending pages of the specific tag where their post may or may not get noticed there.
Ah, I see. I realize that in order to create any reasonable data, I would have to conduct more instances of the experiment.
