I don't understand how steemit works. I'm an eth dev and investor. I used $70 to promote the post with bots. Is that not what they are for?

as usually, the captain is right. Listen to him, instead of downvoing him, @ethsensei.
I checked both of your blogs and didn't see any content that was as good as what I posted. I think you are trolls.
Bid bots are a contract between you and the bot operator, they are not an inherent feature of this blockchain. As @captainklaus said, if people feel you are being disproportionately rewarded, they can return some of those rewards to the reward pool. It's your choice if you want to take that personally, but it's a bad idea, especially if those people are attempting to explain the mechanics to you.
I find it strange that you are so new to STEEM and were able to bid bot your first post, but don't understand the wider implications.
You guys seem crazy to me. Here's my take:
There is no STEEM police, it's self policing. Watch.
Flagged for bit bot abuse and retaliatory flagging @steemflagrewards
And that's how you get muted. Cheers.
STEEM police!!! that guy's fantastic!
Thanks for participating here, @joshman.
and to wrap it up some !popcorn.

As mentioned in the whitepaper:
Every day the reward pool is distributed among all post, according to the upvotes.
If you take a huge chunk, there is less for the others.
You are also taking a part of the reward pool that is in no proportion to the content you provide.
On steem, as there is no police, everyone has to decide for themselves, what's ok and what not.
In my humble opinion, the use of bidbots beyond a payout of 50 is not ok; also people notice this and take you less seriously.
The fairest way is to constantly provide good content, maybe invest 5-10 steem here and there for bidbots, be consistent and patient.
Greed's the biggest killer of all.
btw.: As you said, you pay for it. The profit goes to bidbots.
people also might frown upon self-upvoting comments.
and: A downvote is a very bad reply to serious critizism. I mean, I spend time here explaining steem to you.
Shows how new you are. I'd tread carefully.
Why don't you spend more on bid bots or make better content, isn't that how a free market works? Are you a socialist/communist?
Are you entitled?
Do you notice I am not downvoting all of your comments I disagree with? This is because I understand the mechanics of STEEM. Downvotes are not personal attacks, the fact you are viewing them that way and retaliating says a lot. The fact you did used a service that most people don't on their very first post, doesn't absolve you of the reward mechanics of STEEM. The free market as you stated, means that people can return rewards to the pool if they feel a post is over-rewarded. Over $100 for a few paragraphs and a photo is disproportionately higher rewards than others get for similar content.
Perhaps if you are new you should take the time to actually learn the mechanics of it, or at the very least, be more receptive to people attempting to explain them to you.
Very well said...
