BidBots - They do not drain the Steem reward pool

OK, but they rarely help fill it back up either.

The problem: Many large accounts who would help keep abuse/rewards in check in the past would flag at will prior to their arrival. @smooth, @freedom, @dan, @ned, @berniesanders, yourself + others would frequently bring the flag out for other whales, and just one or two of you, could cut out whatever abuse was taking place.

I know that you and Bernie still flag from time to time, but the majority of the above have their stake in Bidbots or are no longer flagging. Hence we've had over 6 months of blatant Reward pool abuse from whale accounts.

@fulltimegeek is the only consistent flagger with any real stake, and it is not enough. The @thejohalfiles smashed a couple of EOS shill posts the other day, but the other large stake holders are either absent, or tied to Bidbot delegations.

I don't care about whales getting richer, that is supposed to happen. And I no longer care about shit-posts on Trending boosted by bots. But when you guys cannot manage the abuse at the top between you, then it will (and it has) trickle down through all levels of stakeholders.

I do not want to post 10 posts per day and upvote myself and only myself, lol, that would just create flags against me from other users with more steempower then me.

You should try it. Who's going to flag you? The power is absent/delegated to Bots.
