Pretty cool! It's time for the community to act as a whole and fight the bid bot abuse! 

UV for use of NPC meme!

Cool tool, I've saved it to my bookmarks for easy cleanup.

Kudos on making the page which shows the bid bot boost percentage.

Are you practising what you preach though?  I see some pretty prominent names on the list today with auto-ticks in their boxes.  Flagging those guys will very likely have repercussions.

Hmm.  Delegation seems like a good option!  I may not want to directly down vote, but can hide behind someone else, letting them do the dirty work.  I actually used some voting services over the past month to boost my earnings and used those earnings to power up.  However, it does seem like the future depends on the changes just put in place.

Downvote trail time! If we set it up right you can sign up and just trust it’s being done for the benefit of the platform and never see any effects on VP 😉

Make Steem great again! Good idea! 

This is very interesting for progress together ,,,,, we will continue to interact.

Feel free to upvote the article to give it more visibility, I won't be bidbotting it obviously :)

Uh oh.... begin the flagwars of late 2019!!

It's not working. Or is it my browser? 

I use chrome.

Someone explain to me what a 'bidbot' is and how to recognize it, and
I will happily do my part to be rid of them.

Thanks, I will use this site as a jump off point!

hello on my d.tube channel you can not see some old videos that I made. I hope they can fix it.

Please explain the moral/legal theory behind killing bit-bots?

I don't understand why they are so hated.

Don't people want a cheap and easy way to advertise their post?

Isn't the "promote" feature basically pointless?

Selling votes (ENDORSEMENTS) seems like a free-market solution to me.

Fuck em.

or consider joining @steemflagrewards @flagtrail and @freezepeach for healing bully flags ;)

Hi there. I just tried to visit your Tasks website but got a warning that it is not secure.

Absolutely the right thing to do. I know some argue about the Bots having a time and place but I say humbug to that. They need to leave entirely

Hi, steemchess is calling!
Sorry for interrupting, but I have some news for you:
https://steemit.com/steemchess/@schamangerbert/steem-world-chess-championship-2020-january-3-5

It would be great if you participate, good luck!

Beware when using this tool as you can get revenge flagged. (don't forget they have free downvotes too)

This happened to me when this tool was released and this account is so much smaller (< 35 rep and < 20 SP). I lost 30% of my post rewards as a result

I like how you singled out chb"artist" 😆 those stupid articles that are obviously written by a third party are so annoying 🦆

*finger pauses over the dv side in a pique of power mania*

Why do I not understand the connection between bidbots and downvotes ??
<a href="https://steembottracker.com/">WHERE</a> is the bidbot industry ???
How many of them are misusable ?
A few big or bigger players and a hole lot of crabbs ... 
An industry ?
If one is little, SP is important first for opportunities making syself visible, commenting e.g. .
Is a powerup the only alternative to gain extra SP ?
Investing into proof of worktime of botwork cannot be condemned on an blockchain ?
You invest your little #STEEM into bids, and over time your SP rises more than by just powering up.
You as a user put worktime into the system by doing the transfers, and keeping track, the bots add a little amount of proof to it.
There will never be more bidbots than needed ?
Why is there such a great need for huge payouts.
Are there really such as many, them hurting the infrastructure ?
Missuse is to condemn, 
if one could define some plausible borders between use and missuse,
this may be helpful.
It´s a blockckain, a technology .
