He is one of the most trusted witnesses. Why even bother? If he misuses such a great project, he is likely done here and he knows that. Why would he even do that when he himself received tremendous amounts of value here?

Bit bots are bad for the platform because they are counter to the sweat equity principle referenced in the whitepaper. They allow sub par content to receive inordinate rewards. It's appropriating the reward pool to stake marketeers rather than incentivizing truly exceptional content.

Yes Albert compared to the Dash budget in that respect it is. I asked first before doing this for a hard fork to code it into the Steem blockchain which had huge popular support but was nearly universally rejected from those in the position to do it because all existing energy is needed on Smart Media Tokens and we do already have almost 70% of new Steem paid to authors.

While my bot is centralized, any other user can participate in making upvotes and contributions to each budget proposal which makes it not so centralized.

Maybe once Smart Media Tokens are deployed, you could do an SMT offering to build out a decentralized budget platform as a Smart Media Token.
