The reward pool is being auctioned off by the people who actually have the large stake in the network, whether its their own stake or they convinced others to DELEGATE them their stake, it is the stake holder decision to do what they want. If you disagree with how a stake holder is controlling the reward pool distribution (selling upvotes) you can flag all of the posts they are distributing rewards to and put it back in the reward pool. If you don't have enough SP to put a dent in and you really care, either acquire more SP or convince others to DELEGATE you theirs.

**If someone made a post on Steemit tomorrow stating that they were looking for the funds needed to buy a gun so that they could shoot up a school. And if that post was upvoted by the steemit inc account, would you have a problem with this?** I would have a problem with it, and that's why I have a problem with this too. They are both immoral and could quite potentially result in the loss of life. I believe I once put it this way; Buying a vote from a bidbot is like paying for your rapist's penis enlargement surgery. With every purchase they get more powerful, and can fuck you that much harder, that much easier. We are making people who have no regard for creators in the community the most influential people in the community. As I said to someone a moment ago; they advertised this place as somewhere you could earn money through creating content, not somewhere where you could pay someone to give you money. Do you not see the entire content aspect of the platform has been rendedered redundant by these bots????????????????????????????????????

lol ok son of satire, that extreme case just furthers my point that theres a solution to all of your problems. To answer your question: "if that post was upvoted by the steemit inc account, would you have a problem with this?" No I do not have any problem with this, I think they could probably get a gun either way. But if YOU have a problem with it, then you can either power up SP and downvote Steemit INC to stop his flow of "funds" or you could just get a higher power involved like your government. Your second question: "Do you not see the entire content aspect of the platform has been rendedered redundant by these bots?" When you say platform do you mean Steemit.com or the Steem blockchain? I already told you that it's up to YOU and the community to do something about it by programming your own app that doesn't put bid-bot-upvoted posts in Hot and Trending. Make your own app that has its own search algorithm and interface. You don't have to do it alone or with your own funds, you can make posts about it ask for programming help and for funding. Let me know if you need help with anything.

No your idea is futile because the negative effects of vote-selling will effect the entirety of the STEEM network, not just Steemit, so making an dApp on STEEM will not help. I would like to know what you think about curation rewards. They were stated to have been about encouraging fair voting to ensure the best content creators and curators got the best rewards. So do you believe that these vote-selling whales should be receiving curation rewards for selling votes and impoverishing a vast proportion of the community? A proprtion that will only increase with each purchased vote, as the necessity to rely on bidbots is perpetuated by their use? That's worthy of rewarding in the supposed spirit of fair curation that is targeted at quality content?? And I want to reiterate a point that you do not seem to have understood. At one point, the best way to make money on Steemit was to post good content (or choke on a mobydick). But now, the best way to make money on Steemit - and nearing the only way - is to buy your upvotes. So, it doesn;t take a lot of foresight to see that as the importance moves away from content creation, and simply paying for votes becomes tolerated by all, then Steemit will be forced to go under some radical changes, evolving into something completely different from a content creation platform, because it isn't content that is being rewarded anymore, it's customers that are.
