I very much like the idea behind the tag and I'm with you—I hope many people will use it. The potential of having larger accounts watching the tag is great, but just having likeminded people participating will be good in and of itself.
The amounts that end up on posts because of bid bots don't tell the whole tale, because we don't get to see the breakdown of how much is actually from bots versus what human curators have upvoted. And since the bots need to be paid, the amount on the post is always going to be more than what the person using the bot actually nets.
I'm hoping people who produce quality content and use the nobidbot tag will be able to see decent enough returns because they will have more eyes on their posts.
Very well said @glenalbrethsen. I can't say less. Let's hope for a better steemit via this tag.
