I think @clayboyn does a lot more for Steem than just his posts but it's of course something that at first glance is easy to judge and people like to do it especially when feeling attacked.
You don't seem to realize that using profitable bid bots takes rewards from everyone else as well, not just cause they could get curation instead but also the curve now on top of it all. Seems like this part is something the pro-bid bot buying users often like to forget.
He got $8 from upvotes to that post. If they want to pay him, then they shouldn't take away...
...Since those rewards are for GOOD CONTENT, am I right? Proof of my brain ass. Not to mention...
Obviously autovotes aren't always there based on content, you can support steemians for other things they do and if you disagree with that you can downvote it.
