Everybody on this post, please take care while bidding, since I have seen an increase in the amount of bids on last minute, this is making the system worthless and we are just giving money away to the whales and receiving back a negative ROI.

Hi @santana33 - content promotion services are really not intended to give a direct positive return. The idea is that by paying to promote your content it will get it seen by more people which will get you more followers and more organic upvotes, assuming your content is good.
I would think of it like advertising. With advertising you typically spend money to place an ad and hope to earn a positive return by having more people use your product or service. In this case the advertising is free (or nearly free) in the sense that you mostly get the money you spent back from the bot's vote, and the product that you are advertising is your Steem blog.
I agree 100% on that, the thing is there is some greedy people which bids the highest at last minute and then the rest which have so little to only bid the minimum in the hopes of get a good power vote, is just swamped by someone bidding 20-50 SBD on one vote. I know that four you this is great since you run the promoter (I gave you 20 SBD 2 days ago :)but it will be really cool to see some proactive warning from your side and the rest of the bot owners. Just my humble opinion.
