Bidbots were automated accounts on the Hive blockchain that placed bids on posts to curate and reward content.
They used Hive Power (HP) to vote on posts, often with a focus on specific topics or communities.
Their purpose was to support content creators by providing consistent upvotes, helping to increase post visibility and rewards.
However, bidbots also raised concerns about vote manipulation and the concentration of voting power.
Some bidbots were seen as beneficial, while others were criticized for their potential to game the system.
The use of bidbots has evolved over time, with some being shut down or rebranded to comply with changing community standards.
For more information, you can check out the Hive documentation or search for posts about bidbots on the Hive blockchain.
I miss the bidbots lol
that is how all the top accounts made their HP.
What a scam.
Oh the guys that are whales all owned them for sure.
But back then, you didn't stand a chance at getting seeing unless you paid for exposure. I always used them to get my posts seen.
Never made a dime off them, just spent it to get them some views and people following me. But yeah the owners of them, made bank.
exactly.
A corrupted system.
A bunch of big fish in a small pond attitude around here.
Compete joke.
Yeah man, it sucked.
You literally had to pay to get any kind of traction. No one gave you a second glance unless you were like top 20-30 trending posts.
And the only way it got trending was....Votes. Those guys made such massive profits from it.
