no post promotion should come with a profit
This is the only part I disagree with. What is the point of using a bidbot if you never get something back to put into the next promotion?
More importantly now with the 50/50 split.
Surely abuse of the bid bot should take precedence. If someone promotes an Actifit post into trending or a meme or basically short content meant for reward mining, that deserves downvotes.
A blanket judgment on bid bots should be avoided.

You get the promotion and exposure from having your post trending!
And consider I said profit, I never said the author shouldn't get any steem back, just not more than what he paid for in the promotion process while using a bid bot
That could work post HF but I can almost guarantee that getting into trending is just a magnet for downvotes no matter how good the content is.
That essentially means promotion is not really worth losing Steem over.
I get where you are coming from, but downvoting bid bot content should not be that base line. 👍👍
