Thank you that someone big like you shouted this out. I am fairly new here and I learned that quality posts and hardwork matter. But to see what's really happening, that there's a shortcut to success with the excessive use of bid bots is quite a turn off. I tried a few bid bots which earned me like less than $10 and it didn't feel good coz it wasn't a human who rewarded me. And after that I decided not to use them anymore (of course I still need the small time bots for minnows like originalworks and banjo). Although I do not know if I will be left behind because everyone sees the trending and it encourages the use of more bid bots.
I hope more people like you step up to address this issue. I wish you luck on your projects :)
