I can speak for mine. (cuz i'm not tracking bid bot use across the platform LOL)

I have @fundition votes for my project that come in maybe 8-10 times a month? Every time I do an update (that takes me hours to write....) they faithfully support my project!! and I'm GRATEFUL! LOL There are also projects like @helpiecake @helpie @curie @c-squared @c-cubed and COUNTLESS other curation projects that help the little guy!

All those votes that help the newbies to grow will be CUT IN HALF. PERIOD. and the overwhelming majority of the money is going BACK to large accounts.

yes - there are bid bots across the platform, but bid bots are used for SO MANY things. I often will buy a bid bot purchase for people who win a contest of mine! And if this proposal is meant to cut out bid-bods.... it is so RIDICULOUSLY skewed in favor of large accounts - HOW is this actually seen as a correction?

If they want to outlaw vote buying... its very simple. eliminate them.

Don't try to make it "more difficult" to make money on them, while allowing other people to benefit GREATLY off the solution.

it's smoke and mirrors. if there is a problem - go after the problem. Don't "sneak the potential solution" into a win/win situation for whales that JUST HAPPENS to double their wallets too.

honestly - this is so bad - that i can't believe that the people in GREEN aren't speaking out about how shameful this proposal is!!!! It's kind of embarrassing. A case could potentially be made if they were working twice as hard for making double the money.

but they're not. its literally just a windfall for doing not one thing more. (and worse - its taking the money from authors - most of whom are LITTLE accounts!)
