Yeah, I do understand what you mean, bid bots have positive aspects as well.
I thought about how I could improve @trufflepig's toplist and got an idea how to improve the entire Steemit ecosystem instead, and tackle many issues like voting bots, circle jerking, frustrating minnow experiences, and whale wars with a simple adjustment. I'll make a feature request on steemit's github tomorrow or today and I'll post my idea on utopian/steemit :-)
