@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.

Not sure I agree on your math, or language but Steemit is supposed to be censorship free. I see your post was down voted, but also got some upvotes too.
Bid bots are a real minefield and mostly we do lose, I think the bots are best for visibility only (not rewards).
Your post got a free resteem and upvote too.
