You can say the same about real life. Businesses cut corners and dump their trash in the ocean or in a forest to save money. They cut cost by creating a cheaper product. New Steem has police now, we police the pollution and as customers, we can go elsewhere if the business owner isn't offering a superior service. There is no right and wrong, the free market will speak. With the new tools we have on New Steem, we can speak pretty damn loud now.

Hey Dan, been meaning to get back with you on this.
I agree somewhat with the sentiment but don't think the free market should be the "end all be all".
If people willing to game the system control the majority of stake in a free market system, the "game" becomes exploitative of others that are invested in said system.
We don't want that but for the longest bid bot owners have been facilitating it.
That will only work if those tools can be used without fear of reprisal. Especially when being used with honest intent. The asymmetry created by these artificial concentrations of power creates fear. As you can see in this particular example, the fear is warranted.
