Bid-bots are a free market force. The measure goes after bid-bots by making curation more profitable, making delegating to bid-bots less attractive — also, free downvotes for people who abuse. I don't speak for anyone but myself when I say I will be using my free downvotes each day on trending bid-bot abuse and I plan on having more firepower when that HF hits.
Thank you for this reply @theycallmedan. I agree with everything you said. I think all it takes is the right culture - enough people with stake using their downvotes to fix the problem, which could be a more powerful free market force. I really hope that the trending page can go back to being much more organic instead of every spot being sold to the highest bidder.
BRO I'm in the process of buying a ton of steem just for flagging U & the whole WCN! LOL I'll be flagging @theycallmedan too! Cause he's a bidbot abuser too?
Thanks 4 pointing out @theycallmedan, I love to flag him! He pisses me off for some reason, never could really figure out why. Connecting the dots! lol he is a big bidbot abuser that's why? Circle jerk comment offender also! lol P.S. I would have erased this, however I already down-voted yesterday when I was low on power. Oh well can't win um all. Was too lazy to un-vote/revote this am I guess! I'm sure there will be plenty more in the future where that came from! Cheers! lol
I don't see any option to eliminate bid bots without taking from the users the freedom to vote what they want and delegate to what the want.
Having said that, I think that about 2 years ago I suggested displaying posts from the "promoted" section in trending (like one spot always showing promoted post). It's funny to see that trough those 2 years basically nothing changed on steemit and the steemit inc. team is unable to introduce any website updates other than some cosmetics.
U faqua, you should have just told me I had sneaky.ninja & steem.ninja mixed up in the get and saved us both the unneeded embarresment! Well whatever u didn't change any in my eyes, all it means is I will edit that part out of my latest post and and comment I sent to you, providing I can even find them. Asshole! Bitch! k! Thanks for giving me some more work to do when I'm trying to trim my plant! I just got finger hash as a side effect of all the lollipopping these sun leaves off, and I might finally get stoned for the first time in ages!! lol

It's really easy - downvotes from accounts with major stake. A simple statement could set the culture of downvoting the bid bots and eliminate them.
Bid bots are not the only voting services. You can sell your vote to bot and a bot like this votes with hundreds of accounts.
