RE: Bid bot owners, please unvote this abuse.
I won't say much, everything that could be said was already said in the comments... the only thing that I can add is "ban all bidbots"!
My reputation is shit because I've never used a bidbot, it's hard to get my content on the trending page because it's full of bidbot abusers, so my content is buried under spam-bidbot-abusing crap(nice proof-of-brain)... there is no manual curation anymore, this whole thing is getting worse and worse... bidbots are ruining the whole STEEM. If this continues the only businesses that will come to STEEM are more bidbots...
We don't need to remove delegations, we just need an effort by top whales, orcas, dolphin council and witnesses to flag any content upvoted by bidbots until the amount the bidbot gave goes to 0$ (only the amount the bidbot gave), making the post only earn through real curation, through proof-of-brain...
I don't want to use bidbots but I'm more and more inclined to get 60Steem together and just start going apeshit on bidbots to get my content on the trending page, with more views and comments and to increase my reputation (reputation system is stupid because of bidbots)...
Would love to get a counter argument as to "why bidbots are needed" if there are any arguments at all...
Damn, I early voted because your comment filled me with much vigor but I went ahead and voted a quality post of yours to compensate jumping the gun.
Yes, I know it is tempting to just follow suite after those participation trophy buying vain sons of bitches but it will be a cold day in hell before I allow myself to become like them.
You earned your 56 buddy and nobody can tell you otherwise. I think the activity on the blockchain reveals much about our character. For example. When faced a choice, will we stand for principle or profit?
We have chosen the difficult path. Playing Steem on hard mode when most those vote buying buffoon are playing with cheats enabled.
I hope they read this. I hope it stabs at their tender little egos. Peradventure, they will see themselves for who they really are and are humbled accordingly.
A fun project I plan to do is writing a script to reveal the actual rep of all 70+ rep accounts bot votes, circular voting )which I like to collectively call collusive voting) were removed.
Think of it as putting the needle to the balloon. I look forward to seeing just how much hype some people are. It's gonna be good.
As for the elusive "counter argument", I've been looking for some time and have not found one argument I was not able to refute but maybe that unicorn is out there somewhere.

Hard mode only makes games more fun xD
I'm waiting anxiously for that script, I really want to see what some of the people I follow are made off.
I'm going to keep strong and not bow down to the "bitchbots"!
