Bidbots could be a force for good - no need to be a starving artist anymore and everyone has the opportunity to earn a decent income... in theory.
Sadly, when there's money involved, there'll be tons of scams and spam.

Yeah, it's awesome in theory... But the reality is a whole other thing.
Like I've said in other comments here too. A maximum bid of $5 or whatever would even out the playfield for everyone and to disable articles with paid votes to be visible on the trending pages would reduce some of the extra benefits too. - But I don't think that'll ever happen.
Indeed, those 2 changes would go a long way to fixing the system. I think blacklists / weekly voter caps could help as well.
True. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what'll happen.. But I wouldn't bet on any major changes unfortunately.
