I think @abh12345 asked a valid question in What if all users delegated to bidbots? I don't think the response you gave to the question was adequate.
I don't see the point of that question and I will def. not get forced to answer it. There is no reason (!) to think about that case. If you are against bid-bot delegations, then say it - but don't ask ridicioulus questions which are simply trying to put fear in people.
It seems that there is an extreme unwillingness for the owners/delegators/operators of bidbots to actually engage with any part of the community who sees what they are doing as harmful for the larger community. None seem to want to actually explore let alone find a solution because it is going to likely cost them profits.
You shouldn't put everyone in the same pot. @themarkymark and me are doing more than the rest combined.
And just because nobody else is doing anything, doesn't give you the right to put the blame on me.
I feel that since I do care about Steem - people are willing to put the blame on me and find the mistakes I do, instead of looking at those who are doing nothing.
When people do not respond it means they are unwilling to take responsibility for their actions which in this case likely means they know the harmful nature and their claims are nonsense.
Possible. But I personally won't respond to personal attacks and ridiculous questions.
There has been a mountain of data showing the harmful nature of bidbots
Show me the data.
Anyway - thanks for commenting @tarazkp!
When your bot votes the few low value votes that i, and the newbs, do get are diminished in value.
Your bid bot is taking bread out of mouths that live in countries where a dollar a day feeds them.
Arent you proud of your profits now?
Its ok, we see the price doing what it needs to do, when you, and others like you, can no longer make a profit here you will move on to rape something else and those of us still here can rebuild from the ashes of the platform that your profits burned down.
Too bad those folks in venezuela will have starved by then, but that is just the price of crapitalusts profiting, eh?
The point of the question is: if the bidbot system ( the one you develop and defend) is fundamentally beneficial, than everyone should delegate all they have to them as it will be in the best interest of both platform and individual.
I put no blame on you other than as one of the developers and 2nd largest operator. There has been no personal attack made by me as to me, it doesn't matter who you are. However, developer and 2nd largest operator implies a certain amount of expertise, knowledge amd carries responsibility as such.
@paulag showed conservatively how much is paid and how narrow the spread is.
The system is broken, untenable and is quickly destroying the community yet, still no answers. Still no actual data showing the bidbots are helping the community. Does it exist?
