I swear I read you saying that blaming people for using bidbots was a little silly, and now you seem to sing a different tune, or is that only me? I wonder if you'll ever respond to the comment I've left under that certain comment of yours.

It's a complex situation, I don't blame people because I know they are primarily motivated by greed and maximum profit. But, I also know they can choose to move towards a gift economy. You don't have to blame anyone to see that Steemit is rather stagnant at the moment. I find the bots boring more than anything. Btw, I responded to your comment. In the future make sure you tag me at @d-pend because I don't always see these under replies.
I do think I contradict myself constantly on Steemit, because I'm usually brainstorming out loud. To be honest, after all these months—I still feel like I only understand a tiny fraction of the dynamics of how Steemit works (especially when you consider the psychological aspect, which continually baffles me.) If you don't mind continuing the conversation tomorrow when I'm more well-rested, I'd be happy to :-) In the meantime, give me some food for thought from your perspective if you like because I'm curious what you think about it.
I suspect you’re dead on. The masses often ruin their own caves by polluting it. I think that has happened.

We can’t really expect human nature to change?

I agree people are sitting on their hands but I also agree most people are good!
I think the problem extends from the ability to generate income from the bidbots and not necessarily from the people using the services. Simple solution is promotion should not be allowed with a gamble of generating an income but then I ask how do we police this situation? I have seen Mrs. Sanders and others make an attempt but without being able to generate an ROI there is no whale support making it a very uneven playing field.
