It was great while it lasted. Thanks for the opportunity. 
I think one upside we're probably not seeing, as we're too deep down the rabbithole; is how steep a learning curve bidbotting was for newcomers. Writing the post, selecting a bot, timing the payment, copy/pasting the link into the memo etc.
If they didn't do it, they were missing out on rewards, or at least felt like it.
This way, the process is far simpler. 
Author a quality post.
Wait to see if others agree.
