'They' (Stinc), own those bots (well indirectly). As such they can not profit from the bots if they ban them. I can prove this, as I have traced 1000's upon 1000's of transfers, accounts, transfer addresses. I have them backed up too.
There are other Steem held accounts other than the famous Pumpkin/Freedom, one of which goes by the name of 'Alpha'. Consider this account the pimp of all of those money making bots. The bots, and bot owners are Alphas hookers.
It is Stincs money machine.
2nd to that the flagging system by which is fixed through them, is to filter rewards back to 'their' rewards pool (this is how they see it). By which the bots take from, which they of course own.
They do this by using pawns who appear to own/run those bots. Which in fact is to create fall guys by which those guys take any type of blame should blame occur.
However if and when someone follows the money trail they will soon see what is really going on.
Think of it this way. You live in an old small country town back 100 years ago. Now in this town you own a car window repair shop, and you are the only window repair shop for miles around. So what you are going to want to do.. is send thugs, or fall guys desperate for under the table money (you will need people lacking any form of moral compass), and send those guys out late at night to smash out car windows.
Bada Boom! Bada Bing!
Your in business!
And that is the way they rig the system.
Even Bernie is a part of it. He downvotes, those people whom he downvoted pay bots to earn back rep, it is an entire scheme. I am shocked more people are not aware of this. But I guess your average bear just assumes people are morally sound. Who is thinking this type of shady conduct is going on.. or at first glance to an unassuming new comer Steem appears to just be a normal platform.
That is until you peel back the onion layers of course.
The whole system is by design. They will never end those things. They would rather sink their ship by their own monster they have created, than to stop the cash cow.

First I will prove Steemit ties to Alpha for you:

Here you can see the total money at the bottom of the screen which has passed through just this one account. There are many more than this, but I don't want to over complicate the matter for those just tuning in.

Totals: 813,831.865 STEEM|37,060.939 SBD
You can see hundreds upon hundreds of transfers going from buildawhale to Alpha (buildawhale run by everyones favorite guy MarkyMark and might I add he is Bernies good buddy ol pal)... Alpha is the pimp of that bot, and the guy who runs it Marky. He is just a puppet. The real guy pulling the strings is Alpha (I know more of Alphas accounts but lets start here).

Even Ned was nothing more than a hired face, a hooker if you will. Same goes for this new Eli. They don't let you actually see who is behind the scenes.
See Ned sending shit ton of money to Alpha as well.
This whole fucking place makes me sick. Worse than a brothel with whores infected by the clap.

I am utterly appalled with everything I have come to know about this place.

Cheers!
