That is an interesting question. Has me wondering if its wise being thus vested...

I don't think so, I look at the bid bot votes verse native votes, and the bid-bots are less than 3/4 of a percent total for the entire week. People that want to "make Money" generally use the bid bots, so I would think most of the content post are social post.

I am more concerned about the fact that even the number of accounts is increasing the number of posts and daily accounts transacting are decreasing. It Steem wants to survive in the long term it needs to attract content creaters and real people.

The accounts increasing to me indicate that more people are finding steemit, that is good, unless all the new accounts are from people already on steemit then it is bad.

The decrease in the number of post could be for a lot of reasons, people trying to make better post, taking time and thinking about what they are posting, or reaching that point where they are doing more looking at content than creating content.

The number I personally would like to see a big increase in is the number of comments per post. At the end of the day that is what most content created by real people and those that are concerned with the social aspect of steemit is going to keep them creating content. No one likes to think that no one cares about what they had to say. So that is the number I most would like to see increase.

But the small percentage of bidbots make up a fairly good percentage of the reward pool I bet!

I do not think so, but first I'd like to say I do not like bid bots, but people are allowed to use their vote however they see fit, upvote, downvote sell vote, buy vote.

@upme for the week curation rewards - 451.024 STEEM POWER last 7 days

top five trending post a few minutes ago about 1260 STEEM.

@ haejin 623.374 STEEM POWER + 623.335 STEEM for the last 7 days

I did see, but unfortunately do not recall where or who, that had how much the bid bots remove from the reward pool, It really is not much percentage wise. So you see one person, does better than one bid bot, and the top five on trending do better than one bid bot, I know there are a lot of bid bots, but I do not think they actually remove much from the reward pool via their curation rewards.

It's rather fun sort of to see the pro/anti bid bot vote seller wars, always good for drama, but in the end really pretty meaningless. Either people have a right to use their vote as they want to or they do not. That is after all the end point to it all, do you have a right to your vote?

Bidbots take about 25% of the reward pool,

Thank you I kind of remembered a post about how much the bid bots take but I could not remember where, or how much.
