RE: Bid bots can easily end their impact on the rest of us.

I don't think they are bad. I think the mirror a real business case

There are two problems. They don't help clean up their mess and there are too many of them.

Imagine if it always COST money to gain visibility. So we would get the buy pressure of people wanting to gain visibility and still have ways to be seen.

Imagine if they gave one round a day to a curation team.

Imagine if they gave some of their profits to a flag team.

I don't dislike the bidbots, and I am glad we have some. However, it is lazy money for most of them and they aren't cleaning up their messes.

I'm still convinced it was a mistake to ditch n2.

It's time to set right what was intentionally broken, imo.
It was said that we would try linear for a while, we can always go back, but that was just one more lie from a (now) known liar.
We are still in beta, we should try other things if what we have isn't working.
