Bid Bots = Garbage Content Creators and Scams

![c6zqc1qhv5.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/c6zqc1qhv5.jpg)

Hey,

You want to waste your Steem, just use bid bots. You're better off playing Magic Dice ( that game blows ) than using bid bots. Being 100% honest, people using bid bots daily obviously can't get a following any place else so they must promote daily here and rape the system.

I'll be Powering Up all my Steem and SBD from this point in the bear market. I've been doing this but I wanted to test out my first promotion post via bots and I can 100% say anyone who uses it often is destroying the system. You can talk the " good points " of bid bots till the cows come home but the fact is they have KILLED the eco system and interaction within the platform. If you deny this fact, you're part of the issue in Steemit.

There is NO use for bid bots and anyone who says they have a use is living in a dream state. The impact is obvious and it disrupts the very core aspect of the project. I'm shocked people of power on this platform have allowed it to get this far, it's sad to watch from the outside.

While Steemit still defends these useless bots other platforms are thriving and growing without them. Creating solid voting eco systems free of bad content creators and scams that resort to milking this system. Creating systems that are doing what Steemit stated from the start, it's unreal how greedy/blind the people with power are in this platform.

Anyone who uses bots DAILY to get into Trending should be ashamed of themselves for being greedy and destroying Steemit. I love the concept of Steemit and projects like Dsound/Dtube, I'm in this for the long run. I just see many issues that need to change in order for this system to thrive and bid bots is pretty high on that list.

Till next time, stay creative

Why do we fall..?

 So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.

The bidbots along with the self-appointed sheriffs using their monetary power to stifle speech and earnings have made Steemit a trash bin.

I come by every once in a while to see if there is any interesting content and am consistently unimpressed.

Steemit is not worthy of my content. The competitors are coming out in force and steemit is done...

Bidbots should be outlawed! I used Steem before they existed. It was better then.

It’s pretty fucked at this point. 
I don’t know a single person who even looks at the trending anymore because of this infestation of bid-bots.
I always have been a defender of bots and self upvoting(fuck I like my own content so clearly imma upvote it). But it’s become an infestation.
Steemit needs to figure this shit out before smoke swoops in and takes all the good content creators.

Self voting content is good compared to bots. I'd hack bots but keep self voting, I don't see that as the core issue. I feel it'll go beyond smoke my friend, I feel many platforms will take off over the next few years. I agree 100% about Trending being a total eye sore.
