Hi, thanks for your input @rynow.

Bidbots are a result of a pure linear rewards system. It's easy to price votes and sell it out or exchange, hence providing an outlet for maximum profit with least effort. Yes you may be right that curation alone won't help. The proposal cannot be taken apart and have each elements considered isolation. With the three suggestions together, the aim is to just make it more likely that voters use their SP on curation rather than reserving it for themselves like we've in the current economy. It's easier to stomp out bad curation too under the proposed changes.
