What is going on with the @booster bot? How is this allowed to happen??

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdNpdq8GuYECCYG45hhmJ3AzgHkEhCo4xtcEi6V1VQjNd/image.png)

Looks like to me they found a glitch and are making hand-over-fist. 

Am I wrong? Something I am missing? Is there an issue with the calculations or is this what is going on? 

*Edit - I looked at the actual upvotes and it looks like it is all on the up-and-up. So what is going on? 

Actually - the more I am looking at these bots the more I realize this is a joke - people with .5 SBD minimum bid and only having an upvote value of $0.01?

Get these people off the page. 

Who is letting this fly?

I made the decision a while ago to stop using upvote and bidbots.  It has put a huge damper on my rewards (especially during this downturn), but I don't really regret it either.  I don't like the idea of supporting these groups that are breaking or gaming the system.  Maybe in the future things will get better...

yea.. idk, I was like stunned the first time I saw a cap on roi, and I feel like almost everyone does that now.

Think we're the only bot pushing $1 that still has .01 min bid
