There is a divide between catering to investors and catering towards content creators
They can and should both be severed at the same. They go hand in hand. Like cake and icing. You need both for the right mix. Bid bots are one of the few things Steem had going right.
But if you have bid bots offering a ROI it throws content discovery completely out the window, in fact all bid bots do because it's indifferent voting. However, I don't subscribe to the content rules all mantra that some around here do, in fact I think we would be better off catering mostly to investors and let the rest sort itself out. A higher steem price fixes a lot of problems. Let steem do everything to encourage people to buy steem and power it up. Let the different apps and smts worry about content discovery.
