RE: Downvoted? The Bidbot Cycle is Broken
I can agree that people who post crap content and use bid bots just for the ROI and to get free Steem should probably be downvoted.
On the other hand, what about people who genuinely have something of value to share and want to reach trending in order to reach a wider audience?
I think it’s quite short-sighted to just downvoted anyone who uses a bid bot, but that’s just my opinion.

Decline rewards, or at least burn/donate-to-dao.
If the value is in what you are sharing, and that's why you want to promote it, then you don't need to get paid back from the reward pool for doing so.
Fair enough, although I feel some people would still downvote as a knee-jerk reaction without reading what will happen to the rewards

Nothing can happen to something that doesn't exist.
Content promoting using bidbots is a bad idea right now.
The problem is promotig and ROI together seem unfair.
There needs to be another way to genuinely and effectively promote a post while not taking rewards from the reward pool.
Most of the resteem services just resteem to thousands of inactive and fake followers.
I think paying front ends directly to advertise or promote posts is best.
Yes, that would be ideal.
I wish there was a better system for promotion!

CONTENT COPS
:D lol
Where is idubbz?
Steemit is left with internet janitors
I swear this is fact.
There are people who used to earn 30-50 dollars for pictures of cats and umbrellas.
Now they down vote entire articles for using bidbots. Smh
Right?? The people who seem to be downvoting heavily are people who already have a very large following and they can get stupid high rewards for posting basically anything.
The people trying to use bidbots to gain traction usually post better content anyways.
Of course there’s always the exception, and this is where the real downvotes should come in

Agree with this for sure @dropthatcode... its a fine line and seems to be petty alot of the time, some people just dont like people bid botting at all anymore - its fine if they want to promote a new dapp etc in my mind.
Maybe we need a new way to promote content as what we have is broken. I think that promotion should be paid for on here - everywhere else promotion is paid so why is it different here ??
