People have their freedom to use how they see fit.
They can choose to patronize abuse enabling bid bots that are quickly eroding the platform (and face pushback from those who would see fit to use their freedom to oppose this patronage ie @grumpycat)
... or choosing a path that is cognizant of long term macro consequences of that support and stepping up to do something about it.
Folks, please, use your freedom wisely and stop supporting abuse facilitating bid bots. This isn't going to last forever if we continue empowering abuse on that scale.
Bidbots are using %20 of the new produced STEEM in the reward pool distrubuted to approximately 2000 posts/day.
I know there are users alone using %6 of it...
So is it freedom to hit minnows because they use bidbots?
If his flag trigger finger is itchy, I am sure he can go flag a whale :)
The problem is that steemit is now everything bidbots. omg bidbots. bidbots bidbots and more bidbots. Oh and did you forget to send SBD to that bidbot? Don't forget this bidbot too. Don't forget resteem bots. Let's ensure that nothing on the trending page is organic at all. Ever. Because bidbots.
Bidbots are garbage, 100% through and through.
Of course this is just my opinion. Then again, I signed up to steemit for the manual, organic stuff. It wasn't until after that I noticed the illusion that is the trending page.

So forgive me if I think bidbots are sha-poopy.
I don't support bidbots but I don't think they are the biggest problem in Steemit.
They are only opportunistic scripts that use the system.
While the system is structured this way, who can blame bidbots?
