My view on bidbots is complicated. I don't think the community should shun it, but I don't personally agree with using them. The only reason why I have been using them for these posts is because I want to reward community discussion, and the bigger the article payout, the more liquid rewards for @penny4thoughts to distribute to the participants.

Bidbots should prequalify the content, some simple qualifications, like a requirement for at least 500 words and must be original content. Must also pass readability score where there is at least a topic intelligibly discussed in the article.

I think this will eventually be the case whether they should or not. As more and more people use them, they get mroe requests than they can fill. As a result, they have to choose which article they think will bring a better curation reward. Generally speaking, the article that is 500 words of original content will usually win in this scenario.
