I have always been honest and open about this with you. I do see the difference between use and abuse but I have never used them. I get a postpromoter and others upvote sometimes but comes from OTHERS so I take that as a donation or encouragement boost, like last post but comes from people I usually do not know or I am not in close contact and decided to do so. I have never bid on "myself" the same way I do not self vote. And it is not a preaching or judging remark, neither I consider myself better or worse for it. It was my choice to be naive despite the obvious rigging until it became some kind of experiment. So it is kind of a challenge.

But I understand people does out of frustration. I do not know what I will do in the future I can only respond for what I have done so far. Someone told me once if I did not use them I would be always on zero land. Grateful to all the people that has proved otherwise.

Is this an attack to bidbots? No, just a call for proper use. Someone encoutaging me one or boosting a charity or whatever, it could be even considered a proper use.

But if you bidbot yourself you are selfvoting... Is this wrong? I would only do that if I think I have something really very meaningful or important to highlight. I would really consider it an advertisement. But yet again we enter subjective lines.
Why not clearly put "advertised" as "advertised" why do keep in trying to mask it as genuine engagement?

And thanks for whoever has stopped boosting me without me ever asking. I do not think it is the same.

I do not believe in witches hunts one way or the other.
There are issues and holes though that generates community uneveness and yes, should be addressed. I wish it were in our nature a better disposition to proper use and not abuse, but almost every single thing in life
