Yes, there is. There is a social contract of being here. It is all of our responsibility to seek out quality content and upvote it. Buying votes is not only allowing the owners of these bots to completely ignore their responsibility to the platform but actually, make a HUGE profit from it.

By ignoring the social contract they are ensuring that crap content is heavily rewarded, and as a result, the price of steem suffers.

How do you think it looks when people come here and they see all this shit, and then they learn that they got this insane reward by bribing someone for their upvote?

We are all losing out due to the bid bots, as it is lowering and keeping down the price of Steem
