To counter trending bid bot abuse you'd need 5mil+ SP fully dedicated to downvoting abuse. When a post gets 400$ in bot upvotes and it is spam not much any person can do is my point. I commend you on your efforts because right now it is a losing battle.
Yes, I agree to completely counter bid bot abuse would take an extraordinary amount of SP. That would be a war of attrition and indeed is a losing battle.
The more strategic target is to attack the ROI. Believe that approach requires much less stake to be effective, both financially and psychologically.
We don't even need to hit them all but rather make an example of a few every so often. When the rest realize they could also be hit and lose funds for boosting trash content, they may think twice otherwise they could be the unlucky winner of the flag lottery. 🚩
It's even better when we are able coordinate blacklist + unvote w/out refund from bot owners but that is kind of rare. We'll keep at it. 😉
If you ever see a blatant bid bot abuse, feel free to give us a shout at @steemflagrewards.
