I feel your pain here my friend, unsure what to think about these bid bots and how they are starting to just consume the trending pages and screw with highlighting true quality content. I hope to see many good changes here in the near future. Things are still just in early phases, I hope they go for the better and not the worse. huge love to you and your rant
Yeah it's really getting annoying to be honest with you, I didn't sign up just so I have to pay to get my post seen only to then recieve the same or less with the bids. Thank you for you love for my rant tho !!! Hurry up and get back in England, dying to get some meaty tracks down!
I know it's frustrating to see bidbots. But one must understand three things. 1. Steemit is just a front end. 2. Front ends can block bidbot posts 3. Bidbot users rep can be modified via front end.
My points here are, we are in early days. It's better to stick with it and keep posting. Whales they do upvote some great content here. I've not used bidbots. But i don't have any issue with them other than one key thing. People think they earn profit ROI but they don't the majority % of the time for majority % of people. Steem is a good thing to collect. I believe it will be extremely valuable and hard to get in the same amounts as now, in the future. You have some fantastic work it does just take time and networking to get that seen by whales.
