I'm not going to get into a pissing match about this, it is certainly an injustice, but after doing a little research there is an abuse of this self promotion method. You must admit, if you can't fight the bots on their own turf then targeting their customers is very effective. I only wish the dumb ass that coded the screener would take into consideration the timing of the offending bidder. I usually bid right after I post so that I can spend at least a few minutes near the top of the trending list so the value of what I bring here can at least be seen by a few before it gets buried.. I'm still new and figuring everything out, but if I get abused by anymore whales I'll just pick up my toys and play in a different sand box. Whoever is behind this doesn't even take the time to judge if the content is deserving or not..... I'm going to turn the page on this and move on.
I recommend first reading this super awesome comment about whales
It might help with perspective. Lots of people come in and don't quite understand the economy of steem. Like any economy it is effected by inflation.
While I would agree that getting in the middle of some pissing match is a bad idea, this is actually by design. It's intended by the creators that a community would be responsible for governing the site. When stuff goes wrong, the creators are mostly hands off and it is left to us to do something about it as content creators and content curators.
When spammers/scammers/abusers show up, it really is up to us to do something about it. Not all of them go quietly.
@beekerst;
This is not a pissing match.
We are only a handful of minnows standing up against a bully whale trying to impose his/her ideals on another whale (bot owners) using minnows as "collateral damage"
We totally reject this since the collateral damage is us!
It is for sure we can't yet piss as far as a whale can but we are at least trying.
This is all about raising voice against injustice.
For more information, this is our declaration.
