I agree. The barrier to initial views is really high. Having bots to effectively promote content with relatively low financial risk is almost necessary at this point. It's a good trade off for the bots, who end up building up a big amount of steem power, and its good for the people who donate. I would be extremely reluctant to spend 1.00 SBD to promote a post because I'd be unsure if it'd even register on the promoted page or be upvoted. With bots at least I know a few people will see it and I'll make some of my money back.
