Hey everyone,

Have you heard of **The "Genius" Steem Bot Tracker** that was developed by @yabapmatt? (It is not called genius, I added that and you will see why soon)

Have you used it? 

If No, then you may want to check it out. No! Let me rephrase that sentence.... If No, then **GO CHECK it out NOW!**

Why, You ask?

Here is why...

## What does The "Genius" Steem Bot Tracker do?
It simply tracks other **Upvoting** bots and give information of their voting value, weight, time...etc. There are 3 categories of upvoting bots so far

### 1- Pay for upvote bots, namely: @minnowbooster and @randowhale

<br>
### 2- Bid for upvote bots, such as: @buildawhale, @bellyrub and @booster

<br>
### 3- Other upvote bots, such as: @originalworks, @followforupvotes and @treeplanter.

## Why do I call it The "Genius" Steem Bot Tracker?
So far we had many interesting and beneficial tools developed by many steemians which made our life nice and easy, among which the upvote bots are. So why do I think this little new bot tracker that was developed by @yabapmatt is a "Genius" idea?
Simply because this bot shows us the following 
### 1- Paying bots are not always profitable.
Check out @randowhale's vote value per 1$. It is basically giving you the 25% that it will take from you after curation rewards. Except that @randowhale will benefit from the vote because the 25% curation reward is from the total reward pool. 

CONCLUSION:
___

### 2- Bid bots are not always profitable. 
##### BECAUSE some people are either too GREEDY, EVIL, STUPID or they HAVEN'T SEEN/USED this bot tracker yet. 
Here is the screen shot of bid bots I just took to write this post:

Notice that... 
* Most of the max profit bids are ZERO
* At least 2 of the bots ( @bellyrub and @pushup) have total bids that exceed their voting value!

* When you check the details next to these bots you will see that everyone in this bid period has lost money, especially the highest bidders.

Now if we suppose that these bidders were 

Not **_GREEDY:_** They didn't want to hog all the profit to themselves and prevent others from benefiting

Not **_EVIL:_** They did't care if they lose their money as long as everyone else lose their money too.

Not **_STUPID:_** They thought that putting larger bid will take money from others and give it to them (Kinda greedy here too)

Then they **_HAVEN'T SEEN/USED_** this bot tracker. Because if they did,

* They will know that the bids are exceeding the voting value of the bots and that they are losing their money. 
* They could bid in a different bidding period in order to win and let other people win.

* They would have made an informed and a profitable decision **(Considering they are smart, nice and not greedy people)**
