Bid bots don't matter, friend.
Demand is going to create markets no matter what.
Bid bots are a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.

If someone had their immune system ravaged by HIV and then they caught the flu... they wouldn't say they were dying of the flu. You are doing the same thing by making the claim that Steem is dying from bid bots.

The demand to buy votes exists solely due to Steemit's trending tab. The demand for bid bots literally has nothing to do with the blockchain itself. Make smarter trending tabs, reduce the demand to buy votes.

It doesn't really matter what @theycallmedan thinks. The platform is going to carry on regardless and most of his contributions have a positive net affect in any case. Making the claim that he will somehow devalue the platform is just lashing out blindly in the face of this 98% loss that we've all be suffering from.

I watched a lot of his videos lately and there was a lot of talk about using bid bots on payout declined posts. If users want to send Steem to @null to buy time on the trending tab it's worth it for everyone involved. I'm not really sure what your angle is here.
