With so much circle jerking, the bid-bots look like Mother Theresa - they are the ONLY equalising factor available to anyone. I don't agree that the trending trash problem is the fault of non-human bid-bots. After all, it is human beings most of the time who create the trash in the first place.

Curating ought to be kept decentralised as far as possible. I don't trust whale curators with that responsibility, because frankly, I don't trust any single person with too much weighted power. Much like I don't believe in forms of government where the population hands over power to politicians. I also started out dead against bid-bots but i quickly came to understand how horridly despicable the circle jerking really is, and it happens in a lot of the so called curating leagues as well. In fact, it is adsactly where trash gets put into trending most of the time if you ask me.
