Hi @fyrstikken
Personally, I am totally against Bitbots, for the simple reason that it is against the logic that the best content should be rewarded on merit. (I know this is not as it is working even if we had no bidbots). Further to this the BitBot owner is the person that makes the most money out of this, where the author almost don't benefit, except for the fact that he/she does get exposure and may gain followers if the post is good. I also believe that the bidbot owners also get additional curation rewards, as users of the service normally get a few bidbots to vote, thus pushing up the rewards on a sometimes not deserving post, this seems like reward pool drain to me. I suppose one can say that the bid bot owners do give value to the users, otherwise there would be no demand for the, this is just my feelings on the subject.
Thanks for sharing your view on the subject.
