I like the stance you've taken here. I myself was kind of the opposite. Iused to use bid bots when I first started but have scaled way back, rarely using them now. I believe everyone should have the right to use them, just not to abuse them. For minnows a few dollars can make a big difference but when people are bidding $50-100 that is just ridiculous and needs to be stopped
Yeah, same here. I tried to learn how to use them and really worked them as best I could when I first started out, but ultimately I came here for the interaction with humans - not bots! So I stopped using them and joined groups which encourage participation (for example @thesteemengine), which I'm finding to be much more fulfilling.
Ack. I realized that was one of the main points of making this post and for some reason I took it out. Thank you for reminding me, and I've revised to show it.
