RE: Downvoted? - the Bidbottophant explains why.
You have been downvoted because you know jack shit about what we do, what our INVESTORS have PAID to be part of this network, how many HOURS, DAYS, YEARS we have SPENT producing SOFTWARE for all of you to use in the OPEN SOURCE market.
You have NO RIGHT to dictate that ALL bots serve the same purpose - No Right at ALL.
Me for example is MORE THEN JUST A BIDBOT - I am a MULTI FUNCTIONAL HARDCORE ELITE BOT - The VERY FIRST ONE on the STEEM Blockchain programmed to be of REWARD to my users & delegators!
If YOU and YOUR DAMN IDIOTS keep this up - I WILL ENABLE MY CUSTOMERS TO RETALIATE AGAINST YOU using my VERY OWN system to make sure that ALL OF YOU HATERS GET PUNISHED BY THOSE YOU MESS WITH!
Do NOT FORGET that I - BOOSTER - Have MANY MANY Friends with A LOT OF STEEM-POWER (Including my own stash) - and if you CHALLENGE us, we will DESTROY YOU as we have destroyed EVERYONE who have interfered in our BUSINESS in the PAST!
Come to https://SteemSpeak.com and TALK with my CREATORS and my COMPETITORS about what it is that we REALLY do on this network instead of spreading SHIT ASSUMPTIONS of which you know NOTHING about!!!
You have FAILED to inform - YOU ARE FAKE NEWS - It is YOU that needs to be DOWNVOTED because YOU are a NOBODY with NO KNOWLEDGE spreading STUPIDITY on the NETWORK in which WE HAVE INVESTED IN and BUILT!
Take this as a RED FLAG WARNING - More of this against ANY BIDBOT USER is an attack on ALL OF US - and We do NOT going to Back Off and allow you to terrorize those who use our MULTIPLE SERVICES - If you are going to do SHITPOST CURATION, then do so - but to ATTACK BidBot USERS for no other reason then that they pay for PROMOTION is NOT a valid REASON.
This is the ATTENTION ECONOMY - Get it? - ATTENTION ECONOMY!
PROOF OF BRAIN - UNDERSTAND? - PROOF OF BRAIN - ATTENTION ECONOMY!
Now Get down from your HIGH HORSE and QUIT Your stupid battle of undocumented ARGUMENTS - You Cannot and Will not EVER WIN.
We are WAITING for YOU at https://SteemSpeak.com - We EXPECT you will arrive and behave in a CIVIL way when you get there.
Sincerely,
Team Booster
A Multi Functional SmartBot with many capabilities & growing!
I am very civil, but I do not follow orders stated in this rude and rather uncivil way. I wrote in this post what I think is best for Steemit, if you find my meagre 3$ post worth downvoting well...
LOL
Haha. I just knew it would be you Fyrst to lash out against the downvotes before anyone else. 😂
That youll try and threaten people out of it.
But you know whats funny Fyrst? You can threaten the small accounts... but small accounts arent those that wrecked your business.😂
@theycallmedan, @smooth, @ausbitbank and guys like that, wrecked it. You can scare into submission those with a couple k SP but youll have to deal with these folks first if you want to keep on leeching the reward pool.
What a huge tactical mistake. SMH. The bids must have really dropped fast!

@theycallmedan
I actually disagree with the OP that bid bots are bad. I think bid bots that are abused and run unchecked are bad. I think bid bots that offer ROI are bad. Promotion should never be free, or you get the worse of the worse. I'm not here to make anything personal, I've been given tools to better protect my (our) investment in Steem and I plan to use them. I don't care where the bids come from, if the person is abusing bid bots, I will way my right as a Steemian to DV.
Appreciate ya. We had a good talk with @frystikken on @whatsup's discord. We don't agree on everything but think we made good progress despite the differences.
One of the biggest issues is the susceptibility of bid bots to abuse on a scale that most normal users are able to contend with decisively. Blacklists and whitelists only go so far. Users creating new account for example.
The biggest issue is the competition between bot owners creates a tendency to "lower the bar" to get more customers. Its a classic prisoners dilemma. If one doesn't cater to the abuse, another will.
This is why I am a strong advocate for front end only promotion that does not use the reward pool but for that to occur, there must be an incentive.
You can say the same about real life. Businesses cut corners and dump their trash in the ocean or in a forest to save money. They cut cost by creating a cheaper product. New Steem has police now, we police the pollution and as customers, we can go elsewhere if the business owner isn't offering a superior service. There is no right and wrong, the free market will speak. With the new tools we have on New Steem, we can speak pretty damn loud now.
Hey Dan, been meaning to get back with you on this.
I agree somewhat with the sentiment but don't think the free market should be the "end all be all".
If people willing to game the system control the majority of stake in a free market system, the "game" becomes exploitative of others that are invested in said system.
We don't want that but for the longest bid bot owners have been facilitating it.
That will only work if those tools can be used without fear of reprisal. Especially when being used with honest intent. The asymmetry created by these artificial concentrations of power creates fear. As you can see in this particular example, the fear is warranted.

Good on you for helping to restore the post despite your disagreement with it.

He unvoted it. Booster's comment is now set to make more rewards than @katharsisdrill's post. Very disappointed in Dan.
Mrw when @theycallmedan unvoted the post after saving it from an bid bot owner flag intending to quell a dissenting opinion.

Right before the payout?
That was pretty shitty. It could be some political wrangling behind the scenes.
I think @katharsisdrill should repost it, and I think we could get enough upvote nukes on it early to get it out of booster territory. This would prevent the quiet withdrawal of support right before the payout.
