It helped me get the audience I benefit from now. It would be disingenuous of me to turn around and say "hey fucktards, don't use bidbots you'll ruin the ecosystem."
I fail to see the argument. Bidbots were generally accepted, but as they actually do ruin the Steem eco-system they have to go. The SP will have to be invested in new ideas.
People who used horse-carriage never told themselves they were ruining the carriage industry when buying a car, neither should they, nor should you.
Sustainable bidbot usage is standing with one leg in the past, better to invent some better way of promoting posts that does not undermine the proof of brain concept.
