Yeah, I feel like a much simpler method would be to downvote the bidbots, and even to downvote the posts that the bidbots upvoted by the amount of the bidbots' upvote. That would negate the value of the bidbot...if that was what you thought the bad behaviour was... I don't get trying to get at it in this roundabout way that has so much collateral damage.
I totally think bidbots are a bad idea. And that the wealthiest accounts have a greater duty to reward the best content/content providers if they want to see an improved steemit ecosystem, but they need to hire some professional curators or something to broaden their horizons, since their particular interests are fairly narrow and won't lead to a diverse ecosystem.
This is why the @freewritehouse April Fools Day joke rang some bells.
Thank you for your comment :)
I think, and would you agree? that those accounts with many millions of dollars worth of steem should be doing something more with it. For the platform to thrive, a broader swath of the userbase should have greater influence. Perhaps, as individuals, they could/should be spending some of that steem to fund creative projects: steem-funded movies, books, etc. There are small communities doing that, but they're such relatively small accounts. If they had more funding to build bigger, splashier projects, just think of what could be!
