Bid bots killed the purpose of manual curation. Even newcomers with minimal Steem delegates to bid bots in an attempt to earn passive income. People are lazy in general, and people are looking for shortcuts. That's why they delegate even though they would earn more from manual curation.
People lack knowledge and understanding. They're just focusing on the money.
Agree with you that’s why smarter incentives are needed and worked on now
