I don't know how come you and that other bidbot owner have such conflict. I see you guys put a lot of efforts in curating. My impression was ocd curators taking over trending page after HF 21/22, but the other day when I take a look at steemreports, this seems to be long changed ...
btw, appreciator has been encouraging new users, which is quite nice as well, no?
Because selling votes gets you way higher rewards than curation and since some people started downvoting those posts and we joined in they've hated the people that made them change into curation, some changed for the better some still hold grudges.
Yes it is and I'm sure he's being well rewarded for his work, but automating posts on top of that for extra rewards is not something I and many others agree with.
I see the point. I've never used any bidbot during my time here on Steem, not even the non-profit ocdb before the HF. Not a big fan of any bidbots myself.
Maybe freedom could also rethink about his business plan, or maybe he don’t even care much about ROI on delegated stake. I don’t know. The whole delegation thing started when vote selling was popular anyway. Just saying, since he’s never spoken out his opinion either.
