Completely agree with you.

Now is the time to keep steeming here and wait for the next bull run, where we really reap the profits. When many new people enter and we are already sitting in solid position then we can grow a lot. I found that my payouts over the last few month have not gone down even though the prices have declined so much because I have been able to grow followers at roughly the same rate. Measured in steem and not $ I am now making more than ever.

Also bidbots are a real problem. It causes a lot f people to stop using the unique features of steem and use it as a ordinary pos inflation coin such as stellar lumens. Nothing wrong with that, but there are already enough of such coins and there is little market value in steem being another one. Bidbots can exists as a niche phenomena, but going mainstream it will destroy the platform. I am working on an interesting idea to offer a better alternative link
