This is a hand full of knowledge and educative post @hitmeasap
It is heart breaking when you see some posts earning big and even in trending that on a normal ground can only earn cents all because of different bots that have been used to boost them. If really steemit is a community that welcome good and original content why can't we just allow people to be rewarded based on the good content they created and not using bot to upvote their vote or better still a bid shouldn't be more than 20 SBD/Steem.

Well, I still don't think that bid bots are bad in all honesty. I just believe that people have started to use them wrong. I would much rather see a bid bot having a maximum bid of 5. That way, the playfield would be more even and many authors would be able to increase the earnings a little bit.
