For being new to the community you certainly are learning very quickly. I am always happy to let you bounce ideas off me to help further your understanding of my perspective anyhow.

I cannot speak to the perspective of others.

The bid bot thing is a very divisive issue because there are simply so many ways to view the platform and not one single real life analogy encompasses what Steem is in it's entirety.

Many times I find myself wishing I could see both sides of the coin, in most cases I usually can.
