The bot game is sadly one you got to play in order to make any money on this platform and to get your post visible at all. It's a real problem. Unless of course you plonk like hundreds of thousands of dollars into your account and upvote and delegate and so forth.

But still, I wish people read your article. Just look at this masterpiece of complete lack of common sense:

It doesn't take a genius to understand how these bid bots work. When it goes over half the vote worth everybody loses, including you! This one for instance is 274 in total, and this guy plonks down 372 STEEM. Well enjoy the profits, appreciator, can't say I feel sorry for that budgets guy.

And indeed I can understand your points very well. It can get a bit too spicy in the heat of the moment and people tend to fall over themselves a little in stressful situations like that. But use your head man. If you really must drop that amount of money on bots then put it in a couple of them.
