So you are saying that if sbd and steem are traded around the market price will go up. So that means using the bots by buying up-vote is a good thing for the value of steem and sbd.
The members who don't have money will still use their earned sbd to buy up-vote for their next post. They might get a little return from the up-vote bots and re circulating the sbd in the market at the same time. This will be win/win for the member and for the platform and the value of steem and sbd.
The members who have money will buy sbd or steem in the exchange and put it in steemit platform to buy up-votes to get their post into trending. This means they are bringing sbd or steem in the platform and circulating it by buying up-votes. Another win/win.
